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.

Many may already know this offer from Sticker Mule, but you can get basic Unix swag really cheaply to stick on a laptop or water bottle.

I bought myself a couple and can confirm it's legit and good quality.

I remember when unixstickers was a store not a part of stickermule... at that time they also had linux tishirts and whatnot, all very good.

They had many more stickers as well as an ongoing request board where you could nominate FOSS projects to be added. And you could buy individual stickers... It really tanked when SM took over.

The best hoodie I ever bought was from Unix Stickers. Since SM never brought them back, I managed to find the manufacturer (Mantis World, for reference).

Thanks for the reference, they indeed look to have the same finish. Do they still ship the unix stickers designs?

No, they just sell unbranded garments. You'd have to take it to a print shop to get a design on it.
