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.

I'm surprised they didn't immediately go with Lizard Humping A Square https://en.opensuse.org/images/2/25/Oscover.png

[–] isVeryLoud@lemmy.ca 9 points 2 years ago

Missed opportunity 😔

[–] lapommedeterre@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It'd be a good browser logo, if it was humping a globe

[–] Lord_ToRA@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Just like ur mom

[–] toothbrush@lemmy.blahaj.zone 36 points 2 years ago (2 children)

well... i prefer the old logo :(

[–] muhyb@programming.dev 7 points 2 years ago (2 children)

It was perfect. I don't understand why everything must lose its soul with material design.

[–] TheGrandNagus@lemmy.world 15 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Material design looks nothing like this though?

Material design is about blobby, rounded shapes, pastel colours, complementary palettes without much contrast, mostly flat.

[–] MonkderZweite@feddit.ch 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Material Design was flat. Now it is lines?

[–] amycatgirl@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)
[–] TheGrandNagus@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

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

[–] Pantherina@feddit.de 24 points 2 years ago (2 children)

In Germany we would say

verschlimmbessert

[–] ISOmorph@feddit.de 16 points 2 years ago

Nonono, we would say ''Geschmackssache''

[–] cashews_best_nut@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Do you prefer stollen to have marzipan?

[–] jxk@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Everybody prefers Stollen with Marzipan

[–] cashews_best_nut@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I'm looking for that one freakie German who doesn't

[–] savvywolf@pawb.social 19 points 2 years ago

Oh, it's a cameleon with the Linux Mint logo as the head.

[–] Deebster@programming.dev 13 points 2 years ago

I like it, and I think the simplicity means it'll be quite flexible.

[–] aluminium@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago

Another monochromatic flat logo, oh boy.

[–] Grangle1@lemm.ee 11 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 11 points 2 years ago

I'm really happy with these ones

[–] Sentau@feddit.de 7 points 2 years ago

What was wrong with the old logo¿?

[–] CrabAndBroom@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I think the A031 Tumbleweed logo is actually my favourite there. But the winner's not bad either.

[–] cashews_best_nut@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

It's cute!!!

[–] Patch@feddit.uk 6 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] ricdeh@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

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

I like it, it is cute I think

[–] smileyhead@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 2 years ago

I am glad logo on which we knows what animal is on it won.

[–] Contend6248@feddit.de 4 points 2 years ago

Looks good, but if i wouldn't know the origin, i might not know what this even is

[–] LunchEnjoyer@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Honestly not sure what to make of think of this...

[–] jsh@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 years ago
[–] onlinepersona@programming.dev 2 points 2 years ago

This is fine.

[–] MonkCanatella@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Looks nice, I love open Garuda suse

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.

[–] DannyBoy@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Guess you're stuck with C++

[–] sentient_loom@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Right, the only other language.

[–] DannyBoy@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Because it has an animal mascot that's not cute.

[–] savvywolf@pawb.social 0 points 2 years ago

Poor Keith. ;_;

[–] feef@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago

This looks like shit
