... because:

• Independence: No one has control over what I watch, what I use, and how I use it.

• Technology: Super performances, ability to script almost everything, usage of standards.

• Transparency: It's open-source, you can investigate any part.

• Control of my data/privacy: I don't want companies to influence my behavior through targeted ads.

Désolé de faire le correcteur. Je crois que tu voulais dire through et pas threw ?

@Zekovski Oh merci c'est sympa. Je les confonds souvent ces deux là. Corrigé

@davidrevoy it's like owning a car and you can change whatever you want and people will help you with that, whereas if it is not open source you only get to drive if for certain time and you cannot change anything. you can only complain.

@davidrevoy Have you tried KDE 5.27?

@tristen Hey, I guess it will be part of the update I'll receive in the coming weeks on Fedora 37 KDE. I'm sure I'll love the tiling and the multi-slot color-picker widget.

CJ Feb 14, 2023

@davidrevoy love the piece, and of course love free software 😊

Arnan de Gans Feb 14, 2023

@davidrevoy
لوگوی GNU کجاست؟!

@sudo Hey, mea culpa, I forgot it. While drawing this art, I used my KDE Plasma kickoff menu to get an idea of the software I wanted her to draw. You'll find GNU noted in the image description.

@davidrevoy
عالی! 😄
یه چیزِ دیگه...
اگر جهتِ لوگوها به‌سمتِ خودِ شخصیتت بود به‌تر نمی‌شد؟
طوری‌که انگار اون طراحی‌شون کرده.

@sudo Oh sure, the rotation of the logo is a bit random and could be improved. Thanks for noticing.

@dreirik beautiful

@davidrevoy david I love your works for Krita, but have you considered the exitence of Xenia the fox?

David Revoy Feb 16, 2023

@efi Thanks!
Yes, Xenia is a very interesting character, I had this bookmark: https://xenia-linux-site.glitch.me/ , and what prevented me was about her uncertain license. It's very hard to find. I wish Alan Mackey was around somewhere to communicate the license once for all of his creation.

Xenia, the Linux mascot

@davidrevoy I made that site! because Xenia has not been used in any copyrighted product and Alan stated that it can be used freely, it is considered effectively public domain or CC0; there are no constraints in the use of the character for any purpose, cheers! <3

@davidrevoy now that you mention it, I forgot to update the site with this! I'll reach out to Alan so he can publish a statement officially

David Revoy Feb 16, 2023

@efi @efi Oh, thanks for this website. Very well made, I really like the impact of the background color and layout as a timeline. That was my best source along with https://furbooru.org/tags/xenia+%28linux+fox%29 .

Good news about the CC-0/PD license and asking Alan; that would really unlock an artwork project I had in mind 😉 .

xenia (linux fox) - Tags - Furbooru

Furbooru is a linear imagebooru which lets you share, find and discover new art and media surrounding the furry fandom.

@davidrevoy don't tell, but there's like another 50% more fanart I need to upload since the last update, there's so much art aaaaa ;u;

Efi (nap pet) 🦊💤Feb 17, 2023

@davidrevoy it has been decided that from now on Xenia will have a CC0 license as nobody can prove ownership other than Alan himself and that's the license he has decided; I'll update the website within a few days, but I wanted to let you know, specifically =D
