Well, do you know any Linux distro with a not super ugly logo? I have no idea, perhaps Red Hat is quite cool, the rest being a competition of ugliness with no sense. Arch has some sense, and is not that ugly, but it’s not something aesthetic. I think Ubuntu’s logo is quite cool, it even has some sense, but that’s the only good thing I can say about Ubuntu.
PikaOS!
Guix has a cool logo IMO.
We agree, it is ugly. Most Linux logos are made by programmers, not graphic designers and it shows. My point still stands that Debian's logo stands out as being particularly ugly. I don't care about the tribal fanboys who predictably took it as a personal attack and piled on the downvotes. Every time I used Debian the first thing I did is get rid of that eyesore everywhere I could.
Also while we're on the subject can we talk about the K shaped antlers on the KDE mascots? They just never looked like they belong there.
For me Debian is the worst distribution I ever used, excluding Ubuntu (that’s the primer of trash distro). I mean, it must be good for many people, but I just cannot stand it, it’s always obsolete and always breaks on me. I tried to love it for like ten or more years, no luck so far. So its logo is the least annoying thing to me. Their website shows too. Like a competition of ‘we’re a huge community, look, nobody can make a website here!’
To be fair to Debian though I don't think it ever was intended for being used as a desktop daily driver.
True. Yet, I hate it as a server too. I use it only on SBCs, but not pure Debian, but Armbian. Otherwise, on an X64 machine, I’d go with Arch.
Love Debian as server. It's decent on desktop, but its documentation isn't exactly geared towards that, and aside from that, I wouldn't recommend it to a newbie.
but there are a lot of good Debian based distros out there, for desktop and other - and for good reason.
