    had to be overweight like it had eaten a bucketful of herring, as the only other kind of happy penguin is one that has ‘just gotten laid,’

    Honestly I think Tux still looks more like he’s just gotten laid rather than feeling full from eating but that’s just me.

      It definitely needs a more artistic touch. I feel like it suffers from the lingering open source dullness.

      No hate for FOSS, but many of its brandings could use some more expressive color pallettes and dynamic designs. Tux is literally a black & white penguin sitting around. Lol

        Tux is just meant to be the logo of the kernel, which is not supposed to be exciting consumer product branding. Distros can and should improve their brand to be more exiting though

      I’m not particularly fond of Tux, either, but I’m ok with penguins being the symbol for Linux. On my dual boot I prefer distro logos, it matches better with other OSs.

    I really wish Linux would drop it with the animal mascots thing, it so dated. Most everything else moved away from the concept when the 90s ended.
