Well, the good old LAMP stack (Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP - this was the first of these acronyms as far as I'm aware of) included L for Linux so it would make a nicer acronym. Some people changed it to WAMP when running under Windows. But HWGS doesn't roll off the tongue nicely. Maybe HAGS (with "Apple" standing in for MacOS) would work?

Back in the days of the LAMP stack, the use of Linux would have been much less obvious and thus warranted the inclusion of the "L" in the acronym. After all, leaving it out might arguably have sounded better - the AMP stack.
Or HOGS? HTMX-OS-Go-Sqlite. While having "OS" in there is kind of redundant, it does make for a nice and general acronym.
GASH?
SHAG!
