Back when the original Tux drawing was made, we didn't have boot partitions. In LILO days, the bootloader barely fit in the MBR and the kernel was located and loaded with sheer magic incomprehensible to most mortals. So that's why Tux has no shoes.
It is not UNIX’s job to stop you from shooting your foot. If you so choose to do so, then it is UNIX’s job to deliver Mr. Bullet to Mr Foot in the most efficient way it knows.
Probs should've included the /s first, and then rethought the whole thing before posting that. But we're all learning out here, ain't trying to shame ya that hard

Because Linux is written in C so its easy to shoot yourself in the foot.

C doesn't stop users from shooting themselves in the foot. C++ has new footguns added to the standard for you each version!

Rust has a safety lock to prevent you shooting yourself in the foot but you can switch it off if you really wanna shoot yourself in the foot that bad

Because despite having a boot partition Tux appears to not wear shoes

He's resting his hand on his foot, because having two hover-hands in a photo looks awkward, and he doesn't have any pockets.

Poor dude has plantar fasciitis, he's trying to stretch it.

Better than Richard Stallman, that guy ate something off his foot in the middle of a conference. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I25UeVXrEHQ
I wanted to rewatch it, but youtube wants me to verify my age for some reason, and I'm not doing that.

He definitely did. All the image search results have clearly been tampered with.

Tux's Gnome bias is showing
meldrik@lemmy.wtf · 5 pts · 228d
That’s because he’s very serious about this year being the year of the Linux desktop.

From left to right it's Tux's extremities as close as I could match them and then a question.
