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.

It was perfect. I don't understand why everything must lose its soul with material design.
Material design looks nothing like this though?
Material design is about blobby, rounded shapes, pastel colours, complementary palettes without much contrast, mostly flat.
Material Design was flat. Now it is lines?
what
It's not material design.
You should be able to get the old logo back in neofetch atleast by editing
ascii_distro="openSUSE_old"
You can actually set it to any logo regardless of what distro you're on
I'm surprised they didn't immediately go with Lizard Humping A Square https://en.opensuse.org/images/2/25/Oscover.png
Missed opportunity 😔
It'd be a good browser logo, if it was humping a globe
Just like ur mom
In Germany we would say
verschlimmbessert
Nonono, we would say ''Geschmackssache''
Do you prefer stollen to have marzipan?
Everybody prefers Stollen with Marzipan
I'm looking for that one freakie German who doesn't
Oh, it's a cameleon with the Linux Mint logo as the head.
I like it, and I think the simplicity means it'll be quite flexible.
Another monochromatic flat logo, oh boy.
I'm really happy with these ones
The main logo choice is fine, no complaints there, but the choices for the others just seem so disjointed from each other (not to mention they basically just chose the old Leap logo again, but in yellow). I really liked the idea of having some sort of unifying design element across the logos to indicate they are all OpenSUSE products. There were some decent concepts with that idea floating around.
I think the A031 Tumbleweed logo is actually my favourite there. But the winner's not bad either.
I think that one is the only logo with any soul to it. The rest are so flat! I like the old opensuse logo, but I get that it doesn't fit with the rest.
It's cute!!!
I'm not enormously bothered by the designs themselves; the new logos look fine, although I preferred the old logo.
But what really bothers me is that they've gone with a whole disjointed mess of different designs for each of their sub-projects. Why on earth wouldn't you take this opportunity to design a coherent family of logos? Bizarre missed opportunity.
What was wrong with the old logo¿?
Not really bad, but as many others have pointed out, the previous logo was better and more recognisable, I see no real reason behind this change
It's okay I guess.
I like it, it is cute I think
I am glad logo on which we knows what animal is on it won.
Looks good, but if i wouldn't know the origin, i might not know what this even is
Honestly not sure what to make of think of this...
Love it
I...
Looks nice, I love open Garuda suse
This is fine.
looks shite
Like your face.
This looks like shit
This is the best summary I could come up with:
For those that were interested in the openSUSE logo contest, the voting wrapped up on Tuesday and the results of this logo contest for new openSUSE branding have been selected.
The winning selection for the new openSUSE logo is:
Meanwhile for the new Tumbleweed logo it ended up being a three-way tie:
The new logos for Kalpa, Slowroll, and Leap can also be found via the openSUSE logo contest page.
What do you think of the winning openSUSE logo designs?
Better than the current?

I know this is dumb, but cute animal logos is the reason I refuse to learn Go.
IMO, go's gopher is ugly, not cute. But, anyway, there are better reasons not to learn Go.
I'm curious to know those reasons. I'd like to pretend that I have a valid argument against Go.
For one - the error handling. Every codebase is filled with messy, hard to type:
if err != nil {
...
}
And it doesn't even give you a stack trace to debug the problem when an error happens, apparently.
Second reason - it lacks many features that are generally available in most other languages. Generics is the big one, but thankfully they added them in last half a year or so. In general Golang's design principle is to implement only the required minimum.
And probably most important - Go is owned by Google, aka the "all seeing eye of Sauron". There was recently a big controversy with them proposing adding an on-by-default telemetry to the compiler. And with the recent trend of enshittification, I wouldn't trust google or any other mega-corporation.
Yeah the "owned by google" thing is a big turn-off. And telemetry... he'll no. Also it's weird that Go doesn't have a ternary. It's a small thing, but it's a thing.
Guess you're stuck with C++
Right, the only other language.
Because it has an animal mascot that's not cute.
Poor Keith. ;_;
I didn't even know they has a mascot. And now my idiot-brain wants to learn c++ for a bad reason (on top of some good reasons).
