Of all the times to leave out SUSE
But SUSE doesn’t have its own DE, it uses KDE or whichever one you pick
What is the first one? Looks like Debian to me.
Deepin
The first one is Debian (desktop environment)

I always thought ubuntu logo is three kids holding each other hands, not three buff dudes hugging each other.
Nah, it was actually a bunch of half naked people holding hands initially.
Bald white guy was in Dune part 2
This is my first time realizing they’re supposed to be people and not just a symbol
Nah, it’s these three.
Thats also the Unity logo I guess.
You aren’t gay enough to see the truth.
Deepin | LXQt | Mate
KDE | Gnome | Cinnamon
Unity | XFCE | BudgieYou’re welcome
Not the first ;D
My grampa used to say “you don’t have to be the first, you have to do it better than the others”
I do not like the foot.
In the controrary,I like the foot 😋
Foot clan represent
As someone who doesn’t know any Linux logos, I have to conclude these are Toilet Linux, 400bpm Linux, SCROG Linux, Ketamine Linux, Fetlife Linux, Waterwars Linux, Penis Inspection Day Linux, Microsoft Windows 11, and some variant where the volume is stuck at max and will bite you Linux.
What the fuck
Athlete’s foot 👣🍄
What’s wrong with the foot?
It stepped in something sour
Chatgpt:
The foot logo of the GNOME desktop environment represents the GNOME project’s original mascot, which is a foot with sandals. It symbolizes the project’s focus on freedom, flexibility, and forward movement in the world of open-source software.
Germans approve
Deepin lxQt MATE? Plasma GNOME Cinnamon? Unity XFCE Budgie?
Not sure for the third column
That little rat a has been by my side so long (Debian + XFCE) 🐀❤️
Top right is Enlightenment. Middle right is Cinnamon.
All correct! You get 1000 internet points!
Huh, I didn’t know Nickelodeon’s Dan Schneider had his very own Linux distro.
High quality shitpost
Honest question - what about these are skeuomorphic? I mean, I know that the Save button icon being a floppy disk is skeuomorphic because we don’t save our files on floppies anymore, but what about these are no longer necessary to the concept?
Skeuomorphic means designed to mimic a real life counterpart it has nothing to do with being obsolete
A skeuomorph is a derivative object that retains ornamental design cues (attributes) from structures that were necessary in the original.[3] Skeuomorphs are typically used to make something new feel familiar in an effort to speed understanding and acclimation. They employ elements that, while essential to the original object, serve no pragmatic purpose in the new system.
(Wikipedia)
I dont think these logos are skeuomorph either
Yes, this means for example using a Pen as a writing icon. You do not need a pen, to write on a computer.
This just means that they’re similar, it’s something else when it comes to obsolescence like floppies. The goal is to design it in such a way that it’s an analogue to some familiar counterpart.
This is in contrast to more abstract design patterns
Lets collect random symbols like that
(These are only in Android, keepassdx and jerboah)
- floppy: save
- pen: edit
- chain: link
- globe: internet
- sizzor: cut
- notepad: paste/clipboard
- studio mic: audio
- trashcan: delete
- airplane: antennas off
- radio cell: hotspot, wifi
- metal bell: message
- server rack: storage
- speaker: sound
- sun: brightness
- key: encryption, vpn
- lock: encrypted / needs permission escalation
- unlock: decrypted, readable by current user
- folder: directory
- folder with zipper: archive
- house: home dir, launcher, main view
- clothes pin: attached file
- letter: email
- gear: configuration
- magnifying glass: search
- laboratory glass: experiment
- picture with mountain or sunflower: gallery
I tried to search for it and found nothing, so I’ve to ask.
Why on earth we use mountain symbol for gallery/images ?
Found nothing too. Its an impressive scenery
Some devs of yore considered using another icon for save. A piggy bank. The idea was considered for a while, and was finally scrapped in favour of the traditional floppy.
This was in an old version of word apparently. Assuming that the story is authentic.
Though I agree that skeuomorphs are generally concrete rather than abstract representations, ignoring the obsolescence aspect means that almost any design element that looks like a concrete object (however stylized it may be) would then be a skeuomorph, right?
Your camera app icon that looks like a camera lens - skeuomorph? I’d say no because cameras still have lenses.
When you use your camera app and your phone speaker plays a sound that mimics an SLR shutter clicking even though your phone’s camera doesn’t use a shutter curtain - skeuomorph? Yes, it mimics something familiar from a previous design no longer necessary in the current design.
I am a bit of a word nerd and recognize that words can change in meaning over time, but I’ve always understood skeuomorph to be in line with my usage. Can anyone point me to an alternate definition?

If the user interface of a camera app is designed like a real life camera, it’s skeuomorphic, but most phone camera apps are completely abstract
Can someone make that into a Plymouth theme?
The Xfce logo looks like it’s for rat poison.
