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.

Just finished with the first versions of the distro-specific wallpapers and wanted to share this small graphic design project I made, inspired by this Reddit post.

Made with only open-source tools (Krita and Inkscape) and fonts (Cantarell Regular and Bold), and made the source project easily available for anyone that wants to edit and contribute.

Feel free to create an issue or a PR if I missed your favorite distro!

I think it’s just because this guy left a comment, the algorithm picked up the post again.

Kinda like ‘bumping’ a thread in the forum days.
