Hello /g/,
Linus here.
We at the Linux Foundation heard you and we agree that it is time to change the Linux logo (Tux).
Please help us design a new one. The best submission from this thread (and if necessary, subsequent ones) will be chosen as the new Linux logo.
Thank you for your help and continued support.
Best regards,
Linus Torvalds

Why is N bigger than any other two letter combined? What makes it so important? Why dont X and N have the same angles?
>>54476774
N is bigger because Niggers have the biggest dicks.
>>54476774
To signify that the "N" is emphasised when saying "Linux". The X has the angles that matches Mac OS X's 'X' to push the idea that they're both Unix operating systems, and that by running Linux you're sort of running a Hackintosh. Again marketing.

It can't be done, Tux is already perfect.
It represents that Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called “Linux”, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project. There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use.
Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called “Linux” distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

If they were to actually change it I'd say this would be the best option, except without the GNU part obviously. Only fags actually call it GNU/Linux. It's like they want people to hate it

It was clearly made by an amateur. The curve representing the feet looks terrible, and although I understand the penguin is supposed to be turned some, it looks really goofy how one side of his body is way thicker than the other.
Also his beak looks unlike any mainstream penguin I know.

Windows is not a kernel, it's an operating system. The kernel of Windows is called NT. Would you call Windows just NT? No. So don't do it with GNU.
>>54485001
So then what exactly is GNU as an operating system? What do "Linux distributions" have in common besides the kernel?
>>54485001
>The kernel of Windows is called NT. Would you call Windows just NT? No. So don't do it with GNU.
“Windows” is the collective name for the whole package as called by the creators. NT is one of its components. The user interface is another, etc.
“Ubuntu” is the collective name for ubuntu as called by the creators. Linux is one of its components. The user interface is another, etc.
If you want me to call “Ubuntu” “GNU” instead, then you should also want me to call “Windows” “Explorer” instead.
>>54485147
I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called “Linux”, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU project.

>>54485221
I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as GNU/Linux is in fact GNU. Linux is not part of the operating system itself, but is the kernel that is not covered by the naming system of an operating system as defined by common sense.
Many users run operating systems such as Windows, OSX, and a variant of BSD yet do not use a cumbersome naming system that includes the kernel, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, GNU has been the exception to this for no reason and has just been called "Linux" for no good reason, and many others use the insane, cumbersome term "GNU/Linux", mostly because the GNU project doesn't want you to think that Linux is a part of GNU.
There really is a Linux, and it's not part of GNU, but it's a kernel, and no one really specifies using it. GNU is the OS; the actual base system you interact with, and is useful with any compatible kernel; it can function with many different kernels such as GNU Mach or even kFreeBSD, so the whole system should only specify the kernel when it matters, because all these kernels are really irrelevant regarding GNU.
>>54485206
>>If you want me to call “Ubuntu” “GNU” instead, then you should also want me to call “Windows” “Explorer” instead.
Nobody said that. If you're talking about a specific distro, call it by it's name, but when talking about the core operating system Ubuntu is running, call it GNU, because you don't know if a distro is running Linux or another kernel. There are many distros with different kernels like Arch and Debian for example.
>>54485297

No, but you could take any square chunk of it and tile it
>>54485382
That would imply basic technological understanding and computer literacy
>>54485363
Your picture is misleading; it shows a distribution, not a operating system. The added components are different with every distro.
>>54485396
Define “operating system” and point me out to which parts of the definition are implemented by GNU and which are implemented by non-GNU software in a typical Linux distribution.
>>54485382
Good idea, thx. Nice to see you not tripfagging, btw.

>>54485423
So the entire basis of your argument is an outdated and overly specific definition from the 80's that also happens to exclude everything that isn't POSIX from technically qualifying as an “operating system” as defined by POSIX? Okay then.
Let's go quote a modern, commonly agreed upon definition from an encyclopedia with vast amounts of technical information - like, say, Wikipedia.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operating_system#Components
>Storage abstraction, file systems
All done in the Linux kernel
>Provides an interface between the hardware and programs that run on it, and a way to start programs
All programs are loaded by the Linux ELF loader and interact with the environment using system calls into the Linux kernel
>Interrupt handling and device drivers
Linux kernel and modules
>Memory management, memory protection and virtual memory
Linux kernel
>Multitasking, scheduling
Linux kernel
>Networking
Linux
>Security, privileges, separation
Linux
>User interface
Typically consists of X.org and graphical environments running on it. Nobody uses GNU as a direct interface anymore.
POSIX's definition of an operating system seems to be mainly focused around the C programming language, i.e. “implement this programming language and provide these library functions”. But that's just bullshit in the modern age where we have HUNDREDS of programming languages in regular use, even within your system.
GNU is clinging desperately onto historical ballast in the hopes of gaining at least some amount of recognition before it dies off.
Did I do good?

>>54485917
An operating system acts as the middle man when software is trying to use hardware. That is its purpose and that is what a monolithic kernel does. You can't fully compare it to Windows where the kernel does less.

The GNU OS is in development since the 80s, it's using different kernels, one of them is the in the 90s developed kernel called "Linux". Do you understand now?

gnu in and of itself is not a working os bruh, don't believe me, fine go use hurd as your daily driver

Ohh I thought that was maybe the mouse from XFCE or something, but if it's a penguin and a gnu then this really should be some official logo because it looks nice and has a meaning.
