From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Are you the one who's been doing all the kawaii FOSS logos?

[–] QuazarOmega@lemy.lol 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Haven't seen those, do you have a link? I'm curious to see others like this

Okay apparently it's not strictly open source.

Those stuff doesn't even seem remotely same tho, different type of design style.

All kawaii FOSS logos are common Akiba-kei moe logo style.

Looks like a sad and overworked old guy

The mascot is tired of running nonstop in that hamster wheel.

Really cool!
Can I ask what you used GIMP for in this piece? Was there something you couldn't do easily within Inkscape?

[–] Cris_Color@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Cute!

Feels furry-core lol

[–] lord_ryvan@ttrpg.network 2 points 4 months ago

Checking their profile, they do seem to be a furry, yeah!

[–] Yuki@kutsuya.dev 4 points 4 months ago

Looks like a protogen haha! It's so cute

[–] fmstrat@lemmy.nowsci.com 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I'm all for GIMP, but logos should be raster for sizing and SVG use, Inkscape only please 😉

[–] argv_minus_one@mastodon.sdf.org 2 points 4 months ago

Lol who the hell thinks Inkscape isn't professional? Inkscape is the damn gold standard for vector graphics editing.

Reminds me of Xubuntu but it's good

[–] lord_ryvan@ttrpg.network 6 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Xubuntu is Ubuntu with the XFCE desktop, after all ;-)

[–] Mwa@lemm.ee 1 points 4 months ago

True
