Should Linux get a new sleek and minimalist logo to fit in better with the more popular operating systems?

Just because I look like a rapey pedophile doesn't mean the Linux mascot needs to.

1. To own Microslop and Apple
2. To grow the development of free and open source software, making the Linux experience better.
3. Free the world.

Out of all Linux distros Gentoo probably has the most appealing logo I have to admit.

You're thinking about this entirely wrong. The question is not how we could change Linux to appeal to normies. The question is how we could change society to get more people interested in Linux.

And the answer is to just let microsoft do it's thing.
I already installed linux in the computer of two people who had windows 11 on old hardware, I never offered it, they asked me to do it.

Literally every major problem Linux currently has is due to low user share on desktop which makes almost no professional company making software for normies focus on any kind of Linux release or compatibility.

>>his hand on his belly symbolise fatness,
How the fuck did I never see that. My eyes just instantly went to him grabbing his foot and I just couldn't help but think about who made that decision. It's not like you can't make a cool looking penguin logo but they just made him into a fat childish retard for some reason.
>>
>>108994794
It's the detailed shading on the belly that's always bothered me the most. Tux even has floppy man tits he's so fucking fat. I suppose he really does represent the average Linux user at least.

Ngl in a world of soulless unemotional corporate imagery a smiling fat penguin does look charming and approachable. I still think it would be better in a flatter and a slightly more minimal style to seem more professional instead of looking like a cheap hobbyist project.

Finally some representation, they should add a neckbeard and a fedora too!

This one is actually really nice and sleek, I wouldn't mind if they used it instead, but there's just nothing wrong with the current one.
If it ain't broke don't fix it

Windows had abstract rectangles for the logo since it's inception.
I can not think of Linux not having that dumpy fat bastard as it's logo/mascot.

>>108993360
Normies never improve things, they only drag it down to their level. See: antisemitism after Oct 7 2023. Went from "GTKRWN" to "abloo abloo the poor brown people :((("
>>
>>108993178
No? Because don't make much sense do it. The point of Linux is simple, usercase to new users. Without hard part. A new logo will not change it.

It would be be really funny to watch a sertain pajeet and homesexual cry, and loose all their revenue :D. And the funny thing is that linux is open source, so they dont financially benefit at all if they had more users

Was Tux modeled after Richard Stallman???

You would think Gentoo must have at least one nice looking wallpaper, right?
There is one. But there's a catch. Take a close look at that bird. It seems like it is a penguin that can fly, instead of... You know, instead of swimming.
At least it's not a flying cow or a pig.

they named the whole thing after a penguin it's kind of a no-brainer
