We agree, it is ugly. Most Linux logos are made by programmers, not graphic designers and it shows. My point still stands that Debian’s logo stands out as being particularly ugly. I don’t care about the tribal fanboys who predictably took it as a personal attack and piled on the downvotes. Every time I used Debian the first thing I did is get rid of that eyesore everywhere I could.
Also while we’re on the subject can we talk about the K shaped antlers on the KDE mascots? They just never looked like they belong there.
For me Debian is the worst distribution I ever used, excluding Ubuntu (that’s the primer of trash distro). I mean, it must be good for many people, but I just cannot stand it, it’s always obsolete and always breaks on me. I tried to love it for like ten or more years, no luck so far. So its logo is the least annoying thing to me. Their website shows too. Like a competition of ‘we’re a huge community, look, nobody can make a website here!’
Love Debian as server. It’s decent on desktop, but its documentation isn’t exactly geared towards that, and aside from that, I wouldn’t recommend it to a newbie.
but there are a lot of good Debian based distros out there, for desktop and other - and for good reason.

To be fair to Debian though I don’t think it ever was intended for being used as a desktop daily driver.
True. Yet, I hate it as a server too. I use it only on SBCs, but not pure Debian, but Armbian. Otherwise, on an X64 machine, I’d go with Arch.
