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.

A major update to the phenomenally popular Paprius icon set for Linux desktops is now available.

Papirus’ September 2023 update adds a bunch of new and updated glyphs, including redesigned icons for LibreOffice that riff on the suite’s own recent icon revamp.

This is great. I love Papirus. Its the best icon pack by far.

It's one of the best icons pack.

Fully agreed. I use it since 2010

Papirus is by far the best icon theme for Linux. It has icons for even the most obscure and niche applications

Do people actually recognize these? I don't think I'd recognize most of them whatever the icon pack. Might as well be hieroglyphics.

i'd recognize gparted everywhere

That's why there's labels below the icons

The new Libreoffice icons look to bad compared to the old ones. May work better on small screens or something, but such an unnecessary step down.

Edit, funny that seems to be very conflicting

Completely disagree

I hope the low res images are more slick and simpler. Since the icons are indeed a bit too detailed.
