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.

I think Tux is embarrassing, to be honest. I've never seen an iteration of him that looks dignified.
May I shamelessly plug my alteranate design?
I picked it up, lost motivation, dropped it, again and again, so it's in a sorry state (shoot, I am in a sorry state), but here goes:

Nice job! And sometimes, things are just "done," not "abandoned."
Glad you like it!
It's not so much the icon itself, but more what I wanted to do with it, I was asked if there was a Plymouth theme with that so I thought to make it in Blender and then generate the Plymouth animation, but I never completely succeeded because I didn't understand how it works so in my tests the aspect ratio was all off, I still don't know who I could ask for help with that
Looks quite good. Wouldn't mind this as the logo
TuxRacer is the bees knees.
