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.

This doesn't seem to be an official poll.

Please note that this poll is non-binding and changing the logo will depend on the willingness of the Plasma devs. They will have the final say.

Literally one of the Plasma devs showed up in the thread and seemed very annoyed.

Lol? This doesnt seem very democratic then

[–] jol@discuss.tchncs.de 9 points 1 year ago

Why would it be democratic? It's just a popularity pool and devs have full control over the direction of the project.

I guess Triangles. Most of them are too complicated but I guess they suit the KDE experience

The "thingy" looks like anal beads.

You're welcome.

Anything is an anal bead, if you're brave enough...
