had to be overweight like it had eaten a bucketful of herring, as the only other kind of happy penguin is one that has ‘just gotten laid,’
Honestly I think Tux still looks more like he’s just gotten laid rather than feeling full from eating but that’s just me.
the so called furry inflation
Maybe he be eating some other kinda fish tho nawmeen
Will I be hated and insulted if I say I never liked it much?
yes
i h8 u
Oh 9!
U r a shit
Generic insult!
I’m not particularly fond of Tux, either, but I’m ok with penguins being the symbol for Linux. On my dual boot I prefer distro logos, it matches better with other OSs.
It definitely needs a more artistic touch. I feel like it suffers from the lingering open source dullness.
No hate for FOSS, but many of its brandings could use some more expressive color pallettes and dynamic designs. Tux is literally a black & white penguin sitting around. Lol
Erm actually… it is comprised of ‘black’ ‘white’ and ‘yellow’ and ‘grey’ wich appears in the ‘beak’ and ‘shadows’ inhales mucus i use Arch gnu/linux btw.
Tux is just meant to be the logo of the kernel, which is not supposed to be exciting consumer product branding. Distros can and should improve their brand to be more exiting though
I really wish Linux would drop it with the animal mascots thing, it so dated. Most everything else moved away from the concept when the 90s ended.
I remember when Mac OS stopped using animal mascots right after the 90s ended… in 2012.
Eh, it’s ok. And not as pervasive as you imply. Isn’t one of them a hat? And another a plant? And another three people holding hands?
I really like the animal mascots, I think more projects should have them again.
How else would we have characters for SuperTuxKart?
Nah, the Penguin is iconic at this point. Tux IS Linux!
