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.

I made Cathode - don’t vote for it (or at least, don’t give it a high rank, since Debian uses ranked choice). It kind of sucks, honestly; I was just having fun.

I have a feeling Juliette Taka’s going to keep being the de facto face of Debian for a long time - I ranked hers first in the voting.

Based. I find Desert Moonrise kind of vile. I don’t hate painting, but the colors look too Ubuntu.

Do they? I've always associated dark red with Debian.

This isn't quite Debian red - more of a mix of reddish pink and purple, which is common in Ubuntu backgrounds.

Despite the Debian logo being red, Debian has tended towards blue-ish backgrounds for several versions.
