Does anyone know how we ended up with penguins as the logo? I kinda get the BSD demon “beastie.” Microsoft chose the windows flag/window pane. Mac has an Apple/the finder face. Android is a cute green robot. iOS pretends to be too sophisticated for a mascot so we’ll just say it’s the Apple again.

A group of penguins is called a distribution.

The collective noun for a group of linuxes is a "a musk of linuxes"

I'm in this picture and I don't mind at all. Penguins are fucking cool. I'm gonna go to Argentina just to see them in the wild.

It is said that only those who make the pilgrimage to see the penguins in person will be blessed with the full power of linux

Do zoos count? Then child me might have given more power than I could have imagined.

I actually really like Penguins, but I think it was because of Fight Club and not Linux.

And yet we somehow got penguins.

Wasn't it something like Linus really likes penguins?
Ziglin@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y
Based on a song parody by SUSE I believe a 'little penguin bit him at the zoo'. But don't quote me on that.

SuSE songs are considered canon in the Linux world.

There's a story. If you search you'll find it readily.

Are these called "Wojack" memes? I've never understood why this art style became so popular.

Ah, gotcha. Feel like I'm too old to keep up with it now.
