Of all the times to leave out SUSE

[-] pacmondo 37 points 3 months ago

But SUSE doesn't have its own DE, it uses KDE or whichever one you pick

[-] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

What is the first one? Looks like Debian to me.

Well this explains why GNOME is so hard to use. It was designed explicitly by foot fetishists, so it's easy to use with your feet. That's why the taskbar is at the top of the screen instead of the bottom. Your feet would cover it when they're on the laptop keyboard otherwise.

I always thought ubuntu logo is three kids holding each other hands, not three buff dudes hugging each other.

As someone who doesn't know any Linux logos, I have to conclude these are Toilet Linux, 400bpm Linux, SCROG Linux, Ketamine Linux, Fetlife Linux, Waterwars Linux, Penis Inspection Day Linux, Microsoft Windows 11, and some variant where the volume is stuck at max and will bite you Linux.

Athlete's foot 👣🍄

[-] [email protected] 18 points 3 months ago

What’s wrong with the foot?

[-] [email protected] 20 points 3 months ago

It stepped in something sour

Chatgpt:

The foot logo of the GNOME desktop environment represents the GNOME project's original mascot, which is a foot with sandals. It symbolizes the project's focus on freedom, flexibility, and forward movement in the world of open-source software.

Germans approve

Honest question - what about these are skeuomorphic? I mean, I know that the Save button icon being a floppy disk is skeuomorphic because we don't save our files on floppies anymore, but what about these are no longer necessary to the concept?

[-] [email protected] 16 points 3 months ago

Skeuomorphic means designed to mimic a real life counterpart it has nothing to do with being obsolete

[-] [email protected] 14 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

A skeuomorph is a derivative object that retains ornamental design cues (attributes) from structures that were necessary in the original.[3] Skeuomorphs are typically used to make something new feel familiar in an effort to speed understanding and acclimation. They employ elements that, while essential to the original object, serve no pragmatic purpose in the new system.

(Wikipedia)

I dont think these logos are skeuomorph either

[-] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago

Yes, this means for example using a Pen as a writing icon. You do not need a pen, to write on a computer.

This just means that they're similar, it's something else when it comes to obsolescence like floppies. The goal is to design it in such a way that it's an analogue to some familiar counterpart.

This is in contrast to more abstract design patterns

The Xfce logo looks like it's for rat poison.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 3 months ago

Can someone make that into a Plymouth theme?

[-] [email protected] 9 points 3 months ago

My thoughts, for what they worth. Left to right, top to bottom:

  • our toilet block will leave your toilet smelling fresh
  • logo for a desktop window manager
  • would you like to try our pistachio pudding?
  • logo for a desktop window manager in 2004
  • check out this specialist fetish group
  • check out this new version of Apple™ MacOS™
  • check out my weird dick, guys
  • rat poison
