I have alot of CD's that were sitting around, and yes marker gets the job done on labeling, but it just feels wrong. I mean these are OPERATING SYSTEMS, so they deserve a case like windows or a mac release (rip windows 10)

so i used my laser cutter and etched some card stock to make some custom cases,

i also enjoy shitposting on the back on some of the cases

if you want the SVG's get them at my codeburg https://codeberg.org/Steamymoosmilk/Unix_like_CD_cases/src/branch/main/

These look great.

Also, I think the minimum system requirements for OpenBSD is just a potato. Maybe two potatoes if they're small.

I like "Rolling Relase" more - halfway between release and relapse.

So many fond memories of CDs. I remember Ubuntu sending me a bunch of Warty Warthogs for our Linux club.

I don't miss them though. I much prefer to use USB flash drives now.

Weirdly enough, only Debian has the most "OSy" logo of the six:

Why a devil for BSD? Why a pufferfish for BSD?

It feels like I'm looking at different IBM OS/2 patch disks and Debian is like "This is the one where we made it not crash"

[-] frongt@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 month ago

It's not a devil, it's a daemon.

And technically, Puffy is a blowfish.

[-] who@feddit.org 2 points 1 month ago

And the blowfish represents OpenBSD, not BSD in general.

These mascots make sense once you understand the projects from which they come.

These are fantastic! :D

And I bet if these OSes actually had installation CDs with snarky packaging in their merch stores, they would sell more of them that way.
