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.

when other graphic designers say "gimp is not good" or "inkscape is not professional", or say bad things about linux, i have to show them that even linux can be awesome!!!
Are you the one who's been doing all the kawaii FOSS logos?
nop no! but i should keep remaking linux logos on my style hmmm
Haven't seen those, do you have a link? I'm curious to see others like this
Those stuff doesn't even seem remotely same tho, different type of design style.
All kawaii FOSS logos are common Akiba-kei moe logo style.
Looks like a sad and overworked old guy
The mascot is tired of running nonstop in that hamster wheel.
Really cool!
Can I ask what you used GIMP for in this piece? Was there something you couldn't do easily within Inkscape?
all the letters and shadows and outlines were made on gimp. the only thing made on inkscape was the mouse, yea! while it's possible to draw stuff like that on gimp, i think it's easier to do it on dedicated software (inkscape!). thank you
Oh I see, but anyways, I was referring to the opposite, I was curious why you didn't make it all with Inkscape rather than the opposite
because of the shadows!! i still have no idea how to generate shadows on inkscape
Oh, well there's 2 ways mainly:
Filters > Shadows and Glows > Drop Shadow, more crude, but it works if your needs stay within what the filter can dothe first way is exactly what i do but on gimp! thank you. whenever i duplicate objects (text) on inkscape, i have to turn them to paths before changing anything
You don't have to turn text into a path if you just change color, opacity and blur percentage of it
Cute!
Feels furry-core lol
Checking their profile, they do seem to be a furry, yeah!
Looks like a protogen haha! It's so cute
I'm all for GIMP, but logos should be raster for sizing and SVG use, Inkscape only please 😉
i know but this picture is just fanart, nothing else. if i were to use it on a personal project tho, i would save it as an svg file too! (which i do for my personal logo)
Lol who the hell thinks Inkscape isn't professional? Inkscape is the damn gold standard for vector graphics editing.
Reminds me of Xubuntu but it's good
Xubuntu is Ubuntu with the XFCE desktop, after all ;-)
True
I like this one better
