Xenia, the fox girl mascot of Linux, was first designed in 1996 by Alan Mackey. She was meant to be an alternative to Tux, the official mascot.
She had fallen into obscurity, but was noticed by a Twitter user in 2019 and was redrawn as a fox girl. But as it turned out, Xenia was originally meant to be male! The original creator, Alan, was cool with this, saying "It matches the transition of a lot of the smartest, nerdiest Linux users I know" and "And sure, you made her trans!".
So now we have a trans Linux mascot. And I think that's neat.

i haven't used Mint but have heard a lot of good things about it. i switched to Fedora on my main machine (specifically Nobara cause i wanted gaming stuff out of the box for convenience). i think both are generally meant to be good and stable so a good choice coming from windows. choice of DE is probably gonna affect your day to day experience more, personally I'm loving KDE Plasma and think it's the perfect choice for ex windows users.
I liked Mint and if that's all there was I'd be fine going back to it. I peeked at Fedora and it looks promising. I might try it out this weekend
Fedora KDE Spin is such a clean experience ๐
yeah it rocks. Plasma is so polished, really impressed by it constantly
i was so excited for Plasma 6 and it is so good. I'll probably never switch from it
yea i still prefer i3 on my laptop but on a decently powerful desktop probably never looking back from Plasma
i was using the i3-compatible Wayland thingy for a while and like my laptop would use like 3.5 watts of power lol. It was so good. I rebound a bunch of keys in Plasma to match that and while it doesnt have tiling a more keyboard focused window management flow is super much better on my wrists. It turns out having just "left half" and "right half" tiling was enough for me, plus 4 virtual desktops which I use in a role-based fashion. Of course, when i hook up and external monitor everything gets weird but I still appreciate everything I learned from tiling.
tiling is so nice. for me it's like, I prefer a mouse oriented workflow on my PC, I'm often just leaned back in my chair with one hand on the mouse and I'm pretty snappy at flinging windows around at 1500dpi. on a laptop I'm the complete opposite, like to avoid using the mouse as much as possible so i3 is perfect.
oh that's nice! I'm so close to installing sway again thanks to this convo ... such good times, I loved configuring that little thing...
nods in GNOME
hehe, GNOME has impressed me recently too, helped my gf install Ubuntu on her laptop a while ago and it's super smooth these days. personally prefer Plasma's workflows and customisability though
I like the workspaces on GNOME, and I need all of the large buttons and icons in order to use a computer properly. Never knew that until I ditched windows...
