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.

Is this something I could print on a regular inkjet? Would those stickers be at all durable?

[–] RockyC@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

You would need to print them on waterproof sticker paper for them to be reasonably durable. I print with a color laser, so I don’t know if the waterproof paper is inkjet compatible.

These look neat!

By the way, I'm dying to know, can I ask where you found the SVG for the FreeBSD logo?
I searched for it once but came up short, their official trademark page gave some downloads, but no SVG, instead there was an Illustrator file I believe, so... I had a friend of mine use his own Illustrator to convert it to SVG for me, haha. And yet the SVG was utterly broken so I had carefully gone over it to manually match the colors to the original again and get rid of several unnecessary (?) vector paths

[–] QuazarOmega@lemy.lol 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes, that's what I was referring to, there is no SVG file in the archive, or did I miss it somewhere?

[–] RockyC@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No, you didn't miss anything. the EPS (Encapsulated PostScript) files are also vector files. Inkscape just doesn't like to to open them, so I had to use a program on my Mac to convert them to SVG

[–] RockyC@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I believe that I used Graphic to convert them to SVG, if I remember correctly. I was a Mac user before switching to Linux, so I had already purchased the software.

[–] QuazarOmega@lemy.lol 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ah that explains it, lucky!
Weird they still haven't made a clean SVG for the rest of us peasants, but at least there are good souls like you to convert them for us :)

[–] RockyC@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Actually, it was Affinity Designer that I used, as I just had to convert the NetBSD logo from EPS. I’m sure that there’s a Linux app that can do it, I just haven’t looked

Great stuff! How about WindowMaker?

Window Maker isn’t a distro, it’s a window manager. Scroll all the way to the bottom and click the triangle next to “DEs/WMs/Shells.”

Any chance to see sticker for Windows button on keyboard?!

[–] RockyC@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Sorry, just these for now.

[–] Pozitigor@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

it looks impressive, but can you add Rosa linux and Alt Linux to this wonderful sticker pack please?

[–] RockyC@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] Pozitigor@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Many thanks, readme.md file was updated. But I can't see any changes in distros folder since 4 days ago, could there be separated folders for distros and desktops or did I miss something?

[–] RockyC@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

I am not the maintainer of that folder. I only release the SVG file. You will have to ask ludwig234.

[–] EugeneNine@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The Slackware S should be centered in the circle, not off to the right.

[–] RockyC@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The Slackware S is centered EXACTLY left-to-right.

[–] EugeneNine@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thats odd, when I view it its touching the circle on the top right

[–] RockyC@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I just opened it on my iPad with Curve, and the logo is correct. What app are you using?
