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.

Why not just "Powered by Linux" and slab a penguin on the machine?
Tux is included
Don't listen to the naysayers. This is fun and people like seeing similar-minded dorks out and about. Having said that, I wouldn't put some business logo on my computer. But a community distro, why not? Been there done that.
No thanks. I hate visible branding.
I looked for a lazy way to get myself a Tux sticker and found this pack of stickers for $1

Bargain!
Can confirm this is real and a really good deal. Got the pack and have put a couple on my main uni laptop. 10/10 I love how it makes me a walking stereotype!

Just ordered it, thanks for posting the link lol
Arch people, assemble! (I use Mint btw)
Why not export them rather than requiring people to install Inkscape just to view the files?
my brother in christ, SVG is a universal vector format
I'll rephrase. Why require an editor? The most common viewers of SVG do not support layers.

Inkscape isn’t necessary. Any app that can open SVG files should work.

Where's the GNU part?
/s
Yeah why not also add the firmware blobs to the label as well. Without them, your device wouldn't work at all. A shiny "UEFI/iwlwifi/broadcom" and "secret microcode updates" should work.
It's not just "powered by Linux" but powered by "linux-firmware/Linux"
Did I do the funny yet?
This runs arch btw

Is it really a reason for pride to run a certain kernel?
If you are managing to successfully use TempleOS as a daily driver, I think you can be allowed to be proud of that.
I run the mainline kernel. The pride part is my system is built in a reproducible way, with all of the packages versioned and having versioned dependencies.
For example, my wine is from the stable channel, but the rest are from the unstable channel, but there are no conflicts because the dependencies are not installed globally
I see it more as pride in the community and administrators. Plenty of distros are complete passion projects and aren't undeserving of pride.
