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.

Deepin | LXQt | Mate
KDE | Gnome | Cinnamon
Unity | XFCE | Budgie
You're welcome

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 π
Foot clan represent
What the fuck
Whatβs 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?

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
Yes, this means for example using a Pen as a writing icon. You do not need a pen, to write on a computer.
This just means that they're similar, it's something else when it comes to obsolescence like floppies. The goal is to design it in such a way that it's an analogue to some familiar counterpart.
This is in contrast to more abstract design patterns
Lets collect random symbols like that
(These are only in Android, keepassdx and jerboah)
- floppy: save
- pen: edit
- chain: link
- globe: internet
- sizzor: cut
- notepad: paste/clipboard
- studio mic: audio
- trashcan: delete
- airplane: antennas off
- radio cell: hotspot, wifi
- metal bell: message
- server rack: storage
- speaker: sound
- sun: brightness
- key: encryption, vpn
- lock: encrypted / needs permission escalation
- unlock: decrypted, readable by current user
- folder: directory
- folder with zipper: archive
- house: home dir, launcher, main view
- clothes pin: attached file
- letter: email
- gear: configuration
- magnifying glass: search
- laboratory glass: experiment
- picture with mountain or sunflower: gallery

High quality shitpost
The Xfce logo looks like it's for rat poison.
Can someone make that into a Plymouth theme?
I know which one Quintin uses

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