Linux

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.

That looks… really inconsistent

  • Why is the mac icon black while the rest aren't?
  • Why are the games/downloads icons offset while the rest aren't?
  • Why are some icons really minimalistic and some really detailed?
  • Why do the colored folders have a line while the rest don't?
  • Why are java/android/deb/blender colored while the rest aren't?
  • And why is the black folder blue lol

IIRC they refined the Breeze icons over a LONG period of time to get them to the current state - I'm sure the same will be true here.
