  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    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 10 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.

    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 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

    Now I get it. Thanks

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

    On the plus side, Xenia is fantastic

    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.

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

    [–] swab148@startrek.website 5 points 10 months ago

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

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

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

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

    [–] Artyom@lemm.ee 6 points 10 months ago

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

    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.~~
