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.

Just finished with the first versions of the distro-specific wallpapers and wanted to share this small graphic design project I made, inspired by this Reddit post.

Made with only open-source tools (Krita and Inkscape) and fonts (Cantarell Regular and Bold), and made the source project easily available for anyone that wants to edit and contribute.

Feel free to create an issue or a PR if I missed your favorite distro!

If you make a kubuntu or xubuntu version I could find at least one person who is interested.

Is there something wrong with Lemmy? I see more old posts showing up 😂

I think it’s just because this guy left a comment, the algorithm picked up the post again.

Kinda like ‘bumping’ a thread in the forum days.

Yeah but that guy must've been shown it somehow

Might make a pr of some of my favorite distros. Suse would be good.

Smart idea! Thanks for making them: the world needed something like that! I am going set one as my wallpaper at work immediately

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 years ago

oh I totally made them with the intention of splattering them across my office whenever working from home stops being a thing

Thought this was going to be a collection of default wallpapers for various linux distributions. Kinda disappointing.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 years ago

tbh that's not a bad idea either, although with a little bit of searching it's not hard to find the specific wallpaper you want

@joojmachine

Nice idea, but the Debian one (the first I tested) really hurts the eye...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 years ago

oh, do you have any suggestion for improvement? I used the official debian logo color for the background
