well... i prefer the old logo :(

[-] muhyb@programming.dev 17 points 1 year ago

It was perfect. I don't understand why everything must lose its soul with material design.

[-] MonkderZweite@feddit.ch 5 points 1 year ago

Material Design was flat. Now it is lines?

You should be able to get the old logo back in neofetch atleast by editing

ascii_distro="openSUSE_old"

You can actually set it to any logo regardless of what distro you're on

[-] Pantherina@feddit.de 27 points 1 year ago

In Germany we would say

verschlimmbessert

[-] ISOmorph@feddit.de 18 points 1 year ago

Nonono, we would say ''Geschmackssache''

[-] cashews_best_nut@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Do you prefer stollen to have marzipan?

[-] jxk@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago

Everybody prefers Stollen with Marzipan

[-] cashews_best_nut@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I'm looking for that one freakie German who doesn't

[-] savvywolf@pawb.social 25 points 1 year ago

Oh, it's a cameleon with the Linux Mint logo as the head.

[-] aluminium@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago

Another monochromatic flat logo, oh boy.

[-] Deebster@programming.dev 17 points 1 year ago

I like it, and I think the simplicity means it'll be quite flexible.

[-] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 13 points 1 year ago

I'm really happy with these ones

[-] Grangle1@lemm.ee 12 points 1 year ago

The main logo choice is fine, no complaints there, but the choices for the others just seem so disjointed from each other (not to mention they basically just chose the old Leap logo again, but in yellow). I really liked the idea of having some sort of unifying design element across the logos to indicate they are all OpenSUSE products. There were some decent concepts with that idea floating around.

[-] CrabAndBroom@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 year ago

I think the A031 Tumbleweed logo is actually my favourite there. But the winner's not bad either.

[-] dillydogg@lemmy.one 3 points 1 year ago

I think that one is the only logo with any soul to it. The rest are so flat! I like the old opensuse logo, but I get that it doesn't fit with the rest.

[-] cashews_best_nut@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

It's cute!!!

[-] Patch@feddit.uk 8 points 1 year ago

I'm not enormously bothered by the designs themselves; the new logos look fine, although I preferred the old logo.

But what really bothers me is that they've gone with a whole disjointed mess of different designs for each of their sub-projects. Why on earth wouldn't you take this opportunity to design a coherent family of logos? Bizarre missed opportunity.

[-] Sentau@feddit.de 7 points 1 year ago

What was wrong with the old logo¿?

I like it, it is cute I think

[-] qaz@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

It's okay I guess.

[-] ricdeh@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Not really bad, but as many others have pointed out, the previous logo was better and more recognisable, I see no real reason behind this change

[-] jackpot@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago
[-] cashews_best_nut@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Like your face.

I am glad logo on which we knows what animal is on it won.

[-] sentient_loom@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago

I know this is dumb, but cute animal logos is the reason I refuse to learn Go.

[-] janAkali@lemmy.one 10 points 1 year ago

IMO, go's gopher is ugly, not cute. But, anyway, there are better reasons not to learn Go.

[-] sentient_loom@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

I'm curious to know those reasons. I'd like to pretend that I have a valid argument against Go.

[-] janAkali@lemmy.one 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

For one - the error handling. Every codebase is filled with messy, hard to type:

if err != nil {
    ...
}

And it doesn't even give you a stack trace to debug the problem when an error happens, apparently.

Second reason - it lacks many features that are generally available in most other languages. Generics is the big one, but thankfully they added them in last half a year or so. In general Golang's design principle is to implement only the required minimum.

And probably most important - Go is owned by Google, aka the "all seeing eye of Sauron". There was recently a big controversy with them proposing adding an on-by-default telemetry to the compiler. And with the recent trend of enshittification, I wouldn't trust google or any other mega-corporation.

[-] sentient_loom@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago

Yeah the "owned by google" thing is a big turn-off. And telemetry... he'll no. Also it's weird that Go doesn't have a ternary. It's a small thing, but it's a thing.

[-] DannyBoy@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago

Guess you're stuck with C++

[-] sentient_loom@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 year ago

Right, the only other language.

[-] DannyBoy@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago

Because it has an animal mascot that's not cute.

[-] savvywolf@pawb.social 5 points 1 year ago

Poor Keith. ;_;

[-] sentient_loom@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

I didn't even know they has a mascot. And now my idiot-brain wants to learn c++ for a bad reason (on top of some good reasons).

[-] BarrierWithAshes@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

That gopher is literally the reason I have been considering learning go. Same with plan 9.

[-] Contend6248@feddit.de 4 points 1 year ago

Looks good, but if i wouldn't know the origin, i might not know what this even is

[-] autotldr@lemmings.world 4 points 1 year ago

This is the best summary I could come up with:


For those that were interested in the openSUSE logo contest, the voting wrapped up on Tuesday and the results of this logo contest for new openSUSE branding have been selected.

The winning selection for the new openSUSE logo is:

Meanwhile for the new Tumbleweed logo it ended up being a three-way tie:

The new logos for Kalpa, Slowroll, and Leap can also be found via the openSUSE logo contest page.

What do you think of the winning openSUSE logo designs?

Better than the current?

Honestly not sure what to make of think of this...

[-] jsh@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago
[-] onlinepersona@programming.dev 2 points 1 year ago

This is fine.

[-] MonkCanatella@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Looks nice, I love open Garuda suse

[-] feef@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

This looks like shit

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.
