that damn foot

Of all the times to leave out SUSE
- But SUSE doesn't have its own DE, it uses KDE or whichever one you pick
  
  What is the first one? Looks like Debian to me.

Well this explains why GNOME is so hard to use. It was designed explicitly by foot fetishists, so it's easy to use with your feet. That's why the taskbar is at the top of the screen instead of the bottom. Your feet would cover it when they're on the laptop keyboard otherwise.

I always thought ubuntu logo is three kids holding each other hands, not three buff dudes hugging each other.
- Nah, it was actually a bunch of half naked people holding hands initially.
  
  Bald white guy was in Dune part 2
- This is my first time realizing they're supposed to be people and not just a symbol
- Nah, it's these three.
  
  Thats also the Unity logo I guess.
- You aren’t gay enough to see the truth.

Deepin | LXQt | Mate
KDE | Gnome | Cinnamon
Unity | XFCE | Budgie
You're welcome
- Not the first ;D
  
  My grampa used to say "you don't have to be the first, you have to do it better than the others"

I do not like the foot.
- In the controrary,I like the foot 😋

Foot clan represent

As someone who doesn't know any Linux logos, I have to conclude these are Toilet Linux, 400bpm Linux, SCROG Linux, Ketamine Linux, Fetlife Linux, Waterwars Linux, Penis Inspection Day Linux, Microsoft Windows 11, and some variant where the volume is stuck at max and will bite you Linux.

What the fuck

Athlete's foot 👣🍄

What’s wrong with the foot?
- It stepped in something sour
- Chatgpt:
  The foot logo of the GNOME desktop environment represents the GNOME project's original mascot, which is a foot with sandals. It symbolizes the project's focus on freedom, flexibility, and forward movement in the world of open-source software.
  Germans approve

Deepin lxQt MATE? Plasma GNOME Cinnamon? Unity XFCE Budgie?
Not sure for the third column
- That little rat a has been by my side so long (Debian + XFCE) 🐀❤️
- Top right is Enlightenment. Middle right is Cinnamon.
- All correct! You get 1000 internet points!

Huh, I didn't know Nickelodeon's Dan Schneider had his very own Linux distro.

Honest question - what about these are skeuomorphic? I mean, I know that the Save button icon being a floppy disk is skeuomorphic because we don't save our files on floppies anymore, but what about these are no longer necessary to the concept?
- Skeuomorphic means designed to mimic a real life counterpart it has nothing to do with being obsolete
  
  A skeuomorph is a derivative object that retains ornamental design cues (attributes) from structures that were necessary in the original.[3] Skeuomorphs are typically used to make something new feel familiar in an effort to speed understanding and acclimation. They employ elements that, while essential to the original object, serve no pragmatic purpose in the new system.
  (Wikipedia)
  I dont think these logos are skeuomorph either
  
  Though I agree that skeuomorphs are generally concrete rather than abstract representations, ignoring the obsolescence aspect means that almost any design element that looks like a concrete object (however stylized it may be) would then be a skeuomorph, right?
  Your camera app icon that looks like a camera lens - skeuomorph? I'd say no because cameras still have lenses.
  When you use your camera app and your phone speaker plays a sound that mimics an SLR shutter clicking even though your phone's camera doesn't use a shutter curtain - skeuomorph? Yes, it mimics something familiar from a previous design no longer necessary in the current design.
  I am a bit of a word nerd and recognize that words can change in meaning over time, but I've always understood skeuomorph to be in line with my usage. Can anyone point me to an alternate definition?

The Xfce logo looks like it's for rat poison.

Can someone make that into a Plymouth theme?

My thoughts, for what they worth. Left to right, top to bottom:
our toilet block will leave your toilet smelling fresh
logo for a desktop window manager
would you like to try our pistachio pudding?

Why the hell is the GNOME logo a foot. I hate it.
