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.

StickerPack has been updated with Rhino Linux, TrueNAS Open Storage, and the new logo for MX Linux!

Show your #distro pride with a “Powered by” Linux sticker for your computer! Created in #Inkscape. 70 distros represented, from Alma Linux to Zorin. Just unhide the layer you want and export or print.

Don’t see your favorite distro? It’s probably because I can’t find a print quality logo to use. Links to print-quality logos appreciated.

Why not just "Powered by Linux" and slab a penguin on the machine?

I think Tux is embarrassing, to be honest. I've never seen an iteration of him that looks dignified.

You might not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like

Torvalds was looking for something fun and sympathetic to associate with Linux, and he felt that a slightly fat penguin sitting down after having eaten a great meal perfectly fit the bill

Seems like nothing with dignity was intended ... which fits perfectly. 🙃

May I shamelessly plug my alteranate design?
I picked it up, lost motivation, dropped it, again and again, so it's in a sorry state (shoot, I am in a sorry state), but here goes:

Tux alternative design

Nice job! And sometimes, things are just "done," not "abandoned."

Glad you like it!
It's not so much the icon itself, but more what I wanted to do with it, I was asked if there was a Plymouth theme with that so I thought to make it in Blender and then generate the Plymouth animation, but I never completely succeeded because I didn't understand how it works so in my tests the aspect ratio was all off, I still don't know who I could ask for help with that

Looks quite good. Wouldn't mind this as the logo

TuxRacer is the bees knees.
