What the fuck
Well this explains why GNOME is so hard to use. It was designed explicitly by foot fetishists, so it’s easy to use with your feet. That’s why the taskbar is at the top of the screen instead of the bottom. Your feet would cover it when they’re on the laptop keyboard otherwise.
Deepin lxQt MATE? Plasma GNOME Cinnamon? Unity XFCE Budgie?
Not sure for the third column
Top right is Enlightenment. Middle right is Cinnamon.
All correct! You get 1000 internet points!
That little rat a has been by my side so long (Debian + XFCE) 🐀❤️

My thoughts, for what they worth. Left to right, top to bottom:
- our toilet block will leave your toilet smelling fresh
- logo for a desktop window manager
- would you like to try our pistachio pudding?
- logo for a desktop window manager in 2004

Do a WM version!!!

I always thought ubuntu logo is three kids holding each other hands, not three buff dudes hugging each other.
Nah, it was actually a bunch of half naked people holding hands initially.
Bald white guy was in Dune part 2
This is my first time realizing they’re supposed to be people and not just a symbol
You aren’t gay enough to see the truth.
Nah, it’s these three.
Thats also the Unity logo I guess.
Honest question - what about these are skeuomorphic? I mean, I know that the Save button icon being a floppy disk is skeuomorphic because we don’t save our files on floppies anymore, but what about these are no longer necessary to the concept?

A skeuomorph is a derivative object that retains ornamental design cues (attributes) from structures that were necessary in the original.[3] Skeuomorphs are typically used to make something new feel familiar in an effort to speed understanding and acclimation. They employ elements that, while essential to the original object, serve no pragmatic purpose in the new system.
(Wikipedia)
I dont think these logos are skeuomorph either

Some devs of yore considered using another icon for save. A piggy bank. The idea was considered for a while, and was finally scrapped in favour of the traditional floppy.
This was in an old version of word apparently. Assuming that the story is authentic.
Lets collect random symbols like that
(These are only in Android, keepassdx and jerboah)
- floppy: save
- pen: edit
- chain: link
- globe: internet
- sizzor: cut
- notepad: paste/clipboard
- studio mic: audio
- trashcan: delete
- airplane: antennas off
- radio cell: hotspot, wifi
- metal bell: message
- server rack: storage
- speaker: sound
- sun: brightness
- key: encryption, vpn
- lock: encrypted / needs permission escalation
- unlock: decrypted, readable by current user
- folder: directory
- folder with zipper: archive
- house: home dir, launcher, main view
- clothes pin: attached file
- letter: email
- gear: configuration
- magnifying glass: search
- laboratory glass: experiment
- picture with mountain or sunflower: gallery
I tried to search for it and found nothing, so I’ve to ask.
Why on earth we use mountain symbol for gallery/images ?
Found nothing too. Its an impressive scenery
Though I agree that skeuomorphs are generally concrete rather than abstract representations, ignoring the obsolescence aspect means that almost any design element that looks like a concrete object (however stylized it may be) would then be a skeuomorph, right?
Your camera app icon that looks like a camera lens - skeuomorph? I’d say no because cameras still have lenses.
When you use your camera app and your phone speaker plays a sound that mimics an SLR shutter clicking even though your phone’s camera doesn’t use a shutter curtain - skeuomorph? Yes, it mimics something familiar from a previous design no longer necessary in the current design.
I am a bit of a word nerd and recognize that words can change in meaning over time, but I’ve always understood skeuomorph to be in line with my usage. Can anyone point me to an alternate definition?

Why the hell is the GNOME logo a foot. I hate it.
ChatGPT:
The foot logo of the GNOME desktop environment represents the GNOME project’s original mascot, which is a foot with sandals. It symbolizes the project’s focus on freedom, flexibility, and forward movement in the world of open-source software.
I do not like the foot.
In the controrary,I like the foot 😋
I know which one Quintin uses
I am wearing a foot shirt right now
What’s wrong with the foot?

Huh, I didn’t know Nickelodeon’s Dan Schneider had his very own Linux distro.
