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.

Velcro ones for distro hoppers

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

[–] RockyC@lemm.ee 8 points 2 years ago

Tux is included

[–] gnuhaut@lemmy.ml 33 points 2 years ago

Don't listen to the naysayers. This is fun and people like seeing similar-minded dorks out and about. Having said that, I wouldn't put some business logo on my computer. But a community distro, why not? Been there done that.

[–] DarkThoughts@kbin.social 18 points 2 years ago

No thanks. I hate visible branding.

I looked for a lazy way to get myself a Tux sticker and found this pack of stickers for $1

Bargain!

Can confirm this is real and a really good deal. Got the pack and have put a couple on my main uni laptop. 10/10 I love how it makes me a walking stereotype!

Arch people, assemble! (I use Mint btw)

[–] StudioLE@programming.dev 12 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Why not export them rather than requiring people to install Inkscape just to view the files?

[–] BloodSlut@lemmy.world 16 points 2 years ago (1 children)

my brother in christ, SVG is a universal vector format

[–] StudioLE@programming.dev 3 points 2 years ago

I'll rephrase. Why require an editor? The most common viewers of SVG do not support layers.

[–] RockyC@lemm.ee 14 points 2 years ago (8 children)

Inkscape isn’t necessary. Any app that can open SVG files should work.

Yeah why not also add the firmware blobs to the label as well. Without them, your device wouldn't work at all. A shiny "UEFI/iwlwifi/broadcom" and "secret microcode updates" should work.

It's not just "powered by Linux" but powered by "linux-firmware/Linux"

Did I do the funny yet?

[–] mihnt@kbin.social 4 points 2 years ago

This runs arch btw

Is it really a reason for pride to run a certain kernel?

[–] TimeSquirrel@kbin.social 11 points 2 years ago

If you are managing to successfully use TempleOS as a daily driver, I think you can be allowed to be proud of that.

[–] iopq@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I run the mainline kernel. The pride part is my system is built in a reproducible way, with all of the packages versioned and having versioned dependencies.

For example, my wine is from the stable channel, but the rest are from the unstable channel, but there are no conflicts because the dependencies are not installed globally
