<GoogulatorMobile>Really, FSF?! https://gcdnb.pbrd.co/images/GeZdYlDtg2x0.jpg?o=1

<GoogulatorMobile>This is just... childish!

<GoogulatorMobile>That's the kernel Guix built for the bootstrapped install image. I didn't alter that massive framebuffer logo in any way.

<oriansj>Googulator: well no one claimed the FSF was a bunch of graphic design majors. Bad art is kinda expected from a group of programmers.

<clemens3>the artists who did the early apple icons also made the early windows 95 icons

<clemens3>go figure

<clemens3>in hindsight, windows 95 user interface was not so bad

<clemens3>even already back hand i hated everything microsucks

<clemens3>hand=then

<matrix_bridge><cosinusoidally> https://logs.guix.gnu.org/bootstrappable/2024-05-28.log#011507 I agree, it seems a bit petty. I don't think the designer of that logo realise how that looks. To me that logo looks like tux is just there to scrub GNU's back.

<fossy>GoogulatorMobile: LOL

<fossy>Who approved that

<katia>u g l y

<fossy>it's just .. horrible design if nothing else

<fossy>excessive shadows, too much text, too many logos within the logo, why the heck are the circles in the % got other little graphics on them

<fossy>Painful to look at

<GoogulatorMobile>And the cherry on top: it *locks up* at that screen

<fossy>and why is it in triplicate

<GoogulatorMobile>Quad-core system, but no space to render the 4th one

<fossy>wth

<fossy>is that a normal Linux kernel thing

<FireFly>yep

<FireFly>uusally its tuxes thugh

<fossy>tbh i haven't booted a kernel with the tux logo enabled for a very long time

<GoogulatorMobile>Regular Linux renders 4 Tuxes on the same system

<fossy>yea

<FireFly>though*

<fossy>or, at least a kernel where i see the tux logo on any regularity

<GoogulatorMobile>LB kernel shows tuxes too if it can detect the framebuffer properly

<fossy>yeah i was gonna say i suspect LB does but i don't run bare metal enough to remember

<FireFly>but yeah, that graphic is.. a choice heh

<GoogulatorMobile>But, not only is it atrociously ugly and also rather offensive to the Linux kernel dev community - it also _doesn't work_

<GoogulatorMobile>& I did run a linux-libre kernel in this exact board before (the LB 4.9.10 one), it worked, except for the 2 Realtek NICs (wired & wireless)

<GoogulatorMobile>So it's not even due to hardware that requires a blob to work

<matrix_bridge><Andrius Štikonas> fossy, GoogulatorMobile by the way, why do we have so many nested kaems?

<matrix_bridge><Andrius Štikonas> Maybe we should use exec a bit more there

<matrix_bridge><Andrius Štikonas> exec is not supported in hex handwritten minimal kaem but works in C version of kaem
