All of them, it’s a rainbow 🌈
Show threadFtumchMar 16
Linux can be all colors in the rainbow (white) or no colors at all (black). Linux is black, white and everything in between.

It’s either pleurigloss (the color of a solider returning from war and seeing their dog for the first time) or hooloovoo (the super intelligent shade of blue).

Linux isn’t a colour, it’s a spectrum.

*insert ham fisted reference to gender nonconforming people using arch here*

someone from blahaj.zone, please make this funny and not offensive. I’d love to but I am too cis.

It’s white, the sum of all colors (distros).

Black is the lack of light, so no.

IDK. Octarine, probably.

why is debian purple? I always imagine it was white, which is why everytime I dock at the mothership my eyes get seared.

There’s a famous Henry Ford quote: “Our customers can get a car in any color they like as long that color is black”

Henry Ford was not into open source development.

He couldn’t have been into open source development since he died way before the concept was invented

He couldn’t have been into open source development since he died way before the concept was invented

… since before the concept was named and re-named.

The concept was originally the norm, and only needed formalising and naming (and re-naming) after the egregious secrecy of the proprietary model became so suffocating.

Like, what are the iconic colors of Linux? The equivalent to the MS blue?

Tux’s colors I guess. Yellow, black and white.

it’s customizable so you can make it any colour you want

mine is black and green (Breeze Black Plasma theme with green accent colour, black-and-green Librewolf theme, green terminal text colour in Konsole)
