  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.

    Of all the times to leave out SUSE

    But SUSE doesn't have its own DE, it uses KDE or whichever one you pick

    What is the first one? Looks like Debian to me.

    Well this explains why GNOME is so hard to use. It was designed explicitly by foot fetishists, so it's easy to use with your feet. That's why the taskbar is at the top of the screen instead of the bottom. Your feet would cover it when they're on the laptop keyboard otherwise.

    I always thought ubuntu logo is three kids holding each other hands, not three buff dudes hugging each other.

    As someone who doesn't know any Linux logos, I have to conclude these are Toilet Linux, 400bpm Linux, SCROG Linux, Ketamine Linux, Fetlife Linux, Waterwars Linux, Penis Inspection Day Linux, Microsoft Windows 11, and some variant where the volume is stuck at max and will bite you Linux.

    The foot logo of the GNOME desktop environment represents the GNOME project's original mascot, which is a foot with sandals. It symbolizes the project's focus on freedom, flexibility, and forward movement in the world of open-source software.

    Huh, I didn't know Nickelodeon's Dan Schneider had his very own Linux distro.

    [–] joshfaulkner@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

    Honest question - what about these are skeuomorphic? I mean, I know that the Save button icon being a floppy disk is skeuomorphic because we don't save our files on floppies anymore, but what about these are no longer necessary to the concept?

    [–] AMDIsOurLord@lemmy.ml 16 points 1 year ago (3 children)

    Skeuomorphic means designed to mimic a real life counterpart it has nothing to do with being obsolete

    [–] Pantherina@feddit.de 14 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

    A skeuomorph is a derivative object that retains ornamental design cues (attributes) from structures that were necessary in the original.[3] Skeuomorphs are typically used to make something new feel familiar in an effort to speed understanding and acclimation. They employ elements that, while essential to the original object, serve no pragmatic purpose in the new system.

    (Wikipedia)

    I dont think these logos are skeuomorph either

    [–] AMDIsOurLord@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

    Yes, this means for example using a Pen as a writing icon. You do not need a pen, to write on a computer.

    This just means that they're similar, it's something else when it comes to obsolescence like floppies. The goal is to design it in such a way that it's an analogue to some familiar counterpart.

    This is in contrast to more abstract design patterns
