You may wonder:

It's 32 years old, so why does Tux look like a cub?

To that I say: It's 32 years... young!
Linux has never been more in shape than it is today :)

spoilerYou may title this as "The Curious Case of Benjamin ButTux", ooor not, that sounds suspiciously like "buttocks"


Side note

I wasn't expecting the birthday to come already, but, as it happens, I was working on my Tux design these past few days, so I felt hard pressed to release some celebratory art today when I found out.
You can see the little guy being built right now in my ~~laboratory~~ repository: https://codeberg.org/quazar-omega/tux-reloaded

I'll be posting a proper announcement when I feel like it's ready (if I don't get burned out before that X﹏X )

Yay!!
Now that you mention it though, I wonder, on which day was Tux created? I could only find the year, which is 1996.

By the way, could I bother you to give me some feedback on the design, I'd like to know if there's anything I should change

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.
