The contented penguin 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,’ reasoned the Linux supremo.

    Will I be hated and insulted if I say I never liked it much?

      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

      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.
