    The company I work for started a six month pilot program during which workers can choose to replace Windows 11 with Ubuntu on their laptops.

    In order to celebrate this great opportunity I've created my own version of the Microslop logo and ordered a bunch of stickers for me and my colleagues.

    Feel free to use this image and put it on whatever you want! :)

    Suggestion / EndorsementIn case you need some inspiration, there's currently an offer by StickerMule for 50 die cut stickers (76mm Γ— 20mm) at ~60% off. πŸ˜‰

    * This image is inspired by the Microslop T-Shirt from GamerNexus.

    I was about to say you really gonna rip the GN design and change tux and call it a day and not even credit them? Then saw the very bottom.

    [–] Kaiserschmarrn@feddit.org 20 points 2 weeks ago

    I was absolutely sure that somebody is going to call me out if I don't credit them. I wasn't let down it seems.

    It’s a shame Ubuntu is the only Linux option you’re given, but I would still take that over Windows.

    [–] Kaiserschmarrn@feddit.org 9 points 2 weeks ago

    Yeah... But it makes sense for a company. 15 years of support for LTS versions and you can pay for enterprise support. It seems that we will even get Sudo rights so I think I will manage.

    Please keep us posted about the pilot project.

    [–] Kaiserschmarrn@feddit.org 3 points 2 weeks ago

    Maybe I'm going to create another post for this somewhere. But even if not, I can keep you updated by commenting on this one! I personally should be able to switch sometime next week.

    [–] FreddiesLantern@leminal.space 5 points 2 weeks ago

    Oh man, I love it. I’m forced to work on an accursed W11 machine. Gonna insert this logo in there somewhere xp

    [–] shrek_is_love@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

    I'd be interested to hear an update on the pilot program in a few months. How many of your coworkers have chosen Ubuntu?

    [–] Kaiserschmarrn@feddit.org 3 points 2 weeks ago

    Can do!

    As of yesterday, there were around 20 people listed as recipients in the last email we got. This number may sound small but as far as I know not many people have heard about this pilot since it wasn't really advertised. And I'm actively trying to get even more people on board!

    Either way, I'm very happy that my company is doing this especially since we are a semi-state-owned company.

    That's the WSL penguin...

    [–] Luci@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 weeks ago

    It’s ours now! #TakeTuxBack

    [–] Kaiserschmarrn@feddit.org 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

    It is! I wanted to use icons from Windows only that's why.

    [–] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.org 1 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

    Yup. I don't like the original T-shirt's custom, green Tux. And WSL (even with its oddly reverse name) is better than the other penguin vector graphics that ship with Windows...

    I'm pretty sure the designer was told "Nothing like Tux". The first emoji shows a corporate, decidedly uncute emperor penguin, the other one is reminiscent of Club Penguin and screams "how do you do, fellow kids". Still, it could - and has been - made worse with the pivot to AI and gradients.

    I hope the logo is open source /jk

    "Inspired by" = ripped off

    [–] Kaiserschmarrn@feddit.org 8 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

    I mean the idea isn't that novel to begin with as can be seen with this Reddit thread for example but either way I didn't make a secret out of it. I got my GamerNexus shirt very recently so yeah, I was influenced by their design when looking for a sticker motive. πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

    This. It's GNs t-shirt
