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.

KDE not only has 1 mascot, they have over 6 or more mascots!! Yet GNOME only has the foot, that's interesting, they need a mascot. And made by Tyson Tan or someone with a similar art style, it would be amazing!!! But anyway GNOME is the best desktop environment and it's better if it's vanilla with some small customizations.

I feel like every larger open source project that doesn't have a Tyson Tan designed mascot doesn't have one because they refused to let him make one for them.

I agree that this is a sad thing, but I guess not everyone in the Linux world is into furry waifus.

wait really?? So Tyson Tan designs a lot of mascots?? I think his characters are very cute!!! I will not allow him to make my mascot, not because I dislike his art, but because I like to make everything.
