    I adore these!! Where can I find more of your art? I’d love to see ones for more distros- are you on mastodon?

      Thank you! Although it’s currently pretty bare I do technically have a mastodon. If I post more linux-related stuff in the future it will probably be on there 😚

        Thanks for the link, just followed you there ☺️ I hope to see more of your cute distro characters! I’d love to see ones for Debian, Fedora, and open suse!

    A long time ago I had a similar idea pop up in my head of what Linux distros would look like gajinkafied (or at least as cartoon characters) and this definitely feels like what I envisioned. It looks pretty cool.

    Props to you (or whoever did the art) because it definitely looks pretty good.

    If I was anywhere near halfway close to decent I would love to do my own interpretations of old discontinued distros on distrowatch.

      You might enjoy Juzo-kun’s Linux-tans. He drew distros that included retro systems like Knoppix and Mandriva back when they were current. I have a great hunger for FOSS artwork and when I found his collection I was very pleased :)

    Debian, Fedora and OpenSUSE are the only normal distros, everything else is a mental illness. And believe me i tried a lot of them.

        I’m hearing a lot about it lately, its one of the distros i never tried. I always assumed its just another preconfigured arch distro. It’s hard for me to trust an arch based distro because manjaro once committed suicide on me.

          EndeavourOS is basically Arch with an easy installer and nicely set up for a “daily driver” PC. They also have a generally friendly and helpful community. It’s not like Manjaro at all; more command-line centric (but you can install gui tools if you must).

          Dude don’t blame arch for that necessarily. Manjaro has always been shady AF. More bad press for Arch comes from that pos ‘distro’. I understand sorta why the arch forums get salty when ‘actually I’m on Manjaro’ come up in the process of trying to help them.

            How long are you using arch? How many times did you have to do a “manual intervention”? How can you trust your OS with anything serious when it does things like that every now and then?

              Years and it was so much more stable than trying to do a version update on something like Ubuntu. Just run pacman every week or so and you’re fine. Also… A manual intervention never resulted in any data loss. At the VERY worst you might need to break out chroot and do something annoying.

              All of my bad experiences happened at the beginning as I was learning. And no, I would not suggest that a new arch user use it for anything important. But that’s not bc of arch. It’s because the user hasn’t usually learned the differences between the hand holding of other distros and the dirty hands mentality to tune the engine yet.

      Bro, I’m the normiest of normies then, because I went from OpenSUSE to Fedora and now Debian.

      Made a few stops along some mental diseases along the way, but those three are the only ones I spent more than a year into each.

      I’ve been on Debian (and some debian-based) systems exclusively since switching to Linux from Windows a few years back, and luckily I haven’t found any major reason to hop off yet. Ngl Fedora looks really nice though, might have to break my streak on it soon :)
