    I don't get it.

    [–] pmjv@lemmy.sdf.org 124 points 7 months ago (2 children)

    My apologies, this of course takes place on the frontier of the Penguin Realm, where the local garrison faces immeasurable odds of corpo-barians and binary-blobians, while trying to expand the realm's border. To support these endeavors, the Penguin command sends reinforcements made up of foxes. One Penguin is particularly distraught, seeing one of the warriors is wearing a penguin skin on its helmet.

    Hope this helped.

    Xenia, a linux mascot

    [–] DaGeek247@fedia.io 23 points 7 months ago (1 children)

    New old mascot that Rentlar inked below is 'reinforcing' the 'war' between the penguin/linux logos and the other.

    It's not really a joke, more a statement about the fox ebeing a thing now.

    I still don't get it

    Furries tried to make the Linux mascot a furry instead of Tux the penguin

    See https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/xenia-linuxfox

    i never heard of that and assumed it had something to do with firefox. thanks for clearing that up.

    [–] ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 13 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

    Now I get it. Thanks

    Username checks out, thank you

    [–] Ack@lemmy.ca 7 points 7 months ago

    Ah! That’s the missing piece, thank you!

    [–] caseyweederman@lemmy.ca 5 points 7 months ago

    On the plus side, Xenia is fantastic

    [–] SingularEye@lemmy.blahaj.zone 16 points 7 months ago

    me neither

    Shoutout to !xenia@lemmy.blahaj.zone

    I think it's one of the coolest Linux/FOSS-themed mascots that deserves being returned to the spotlight.

    Is that GNU soap?

    [–] itslilith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 7 months ago (1 children)

    GNU/Soap, a novelty for many I'm sure

    [–] swab148@startrek.website 5 points 7 months ago

    Or as I've started calling it, GNU + Soap

    [–] pmjv@lemmy.sdf.org 8 points 7 months ago

    it is!

    [–] glassware@lemmy.world 8 points 7 months ago (1 children)

    Is this part of a series or something? I have no idea what any part of it means

    [–] pmjv@lemmy.sdf.org 10 points 7 months ago

    Yes, this is part of the Frontier series, a techno-mage spinoff.

    [–] Artyom@lemm.ee 6 points 7 months ago

    To be more authentic with the mideival lore, the fox should have a pufferfish codpiece in their armor.

    [–] VinesNFluff@pawb.social 5 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

    Hot damn your artstyle made Xenia look creepy. I guess that's the point tho?

    ~~The penguins also look stoned but that part I fully approve of.~~
