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.

StickerPack has been updated with Rhino Linux, TrueNAS Open Storage, and the new logo for MX Linux!

Show your #distro pride with a “Powered by” Linux sticker for your computer! Created in #Inkscape. 70 distros represented, from Alma Linux to Zorin. Just unhide the layer you want and export or print.

Don’t see your favorite distro? It’s probably because I can’t find a print quality logo to use. Links to print-quality logos appreciated.

Velcro ones for distro hoppers

Why not export them rather than requiring people to install Inkscape just to view the files?

[–] RockyC@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

I'll rephrase. Why require an editor? The most common viewers of SVG do not support layers

[–] RockyC@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I suppose that I’m just too lazy after spending tens of hours locating 71 different high resolution logo files, a bunch of different word marks, researching and installing various typefaces, creating layers, groups, precisely aligning and resizing stuff 71 different times, converting all the text into outlines, hiding all the layers, creating a repository, uploading to GitHub, and then offering it to anyone for free.

That's what I was questioning. Why do do the work but then not make it accessible?

It's a similar thought to this topic: https://lemmy.world/post/3179113

It IS accessible. SVG is a standard format that can be opened by any number of different programs across multiple operating systems.

Just because you chose not to install one of those programs is not my problem.

I don’t get mad when I need to open a pdf but I don’t have a pdf reader. I install a fucking pdf reader.

Get off of your horse, dude.
