There’s no reason to abide to a non-existing problem.
If a punk band in Sweden used that name decades ago - that doesn’t mean Manjaro shouldn’t.
Swedish users are smart enough to not associate Manjaro with a local nationalist music group.

Well, everybody in Sweden who fighting against racism and fascism IMMEDIATELY reacts to this name. What I read is “we don’t care”.
It was not a “punk band”, it was a propaganda band for nazis, straight up, no matter what SD supporters in Sweden will argue.
The swastika is originally a hindu sign for sun (IIRC), would you also use that?
Edit
There is a very good reference to be made by the “try that in a small town” thing that is happening in the USA right now, this is THE EXACT SAME THING!
I don’t want to debate with that. You got the godwin point as usual in the Occidental society. You don’t want to debate, you just need to have the right think, the right answer, the truth.
Whatever, just keep your truth, I’m off.
ps: btw, I’m French so don’t talk to me on this, you know nothing.
Projecting what YOU want onto me? Please do not do that.
You are right, I do not want a debate, I am INFORMING the forum on how certain people will react to the name, if you don’t like that info, well, then it says more about you than me.
What has a nazi propaganda band in Sweden to do with France?
Or are you talking about ww2? Were you alive then? 
I was alive when the band downplayed the murder of the teenager John Hron, who was murdered by nazis in Sweden.
I am personally FRIENDS with ppl who went 9 years in school with band members, I KNOW what kind of opinions they have.
I know what I am talking about.
Manjaro has every right to name their things whatever they want, but they should also realize the effect certain names will have on different people.
@moderators this thread has become personal. I don’t think it’s really appropriate anymore.

It has all been said and is now moving in a personal direction. That’s why it’s closed here.
