   keep coming back to the realization that tux is like one of the best character designs of all time. something about his facial expression. he looks so Head Empty. and the way his feet are faced towards the viewer really emphasizes how he's just sitting on his ass and not doing much of anything. all of that combined with the bold, high-contrast black-and-white with the bright yellow-orange accents? it just screams Yeah Sure It Doesnt Work. What Am I Gonna Do About It? Nothin :)

     all the other classic software mascots are on the level of "a planet with a face" or "this is the window manager gremlin Hehe" or "our distro is represented by The Boot from Monopoly" or something. at some point they started either getting motivational, like "we all stan Software Project-chan and want her to succeed!!" or just becoming abstract logos, rather than characters which is a shame. like, when i boot up the gamecube emulator i want to have a chat with a fully-animated dolphin, please
