My apologies, this of course takes place on the frontier of the Penguin Realm, where the local garrison faces immeasurable odds of corpo-barians and binary-blobians, while trying to expand the realm's border. To support these endeavors, the Penguin command sends reinforcements made up of foxes. One Penguin is particularly distraught, seeing one of the warriors is wearing a penguin skin on its helmet.

Hope this helped.

Xenia, a linux mascot

[-] DaGeek247@fedia.io 23 points 1 year ago

New old mascot that Rentlar inked below is 'reinforcing' the 'war' between the penguin/linux logos and the other.

It's not really a joke, more a statement about the fox ebeing a thing now.

Furries tried to make the Linux mascot a furry instead of Tux the penguin

On the plus side, Xenia is fantastic

Shoutout to !xenia@lemmy.blahaj.zone

I think it's one of the coolest Linux/FOSS-themed mascots that deserves being returned to the spotlight.

GNU/Soap, a novelty for many I'm sure

[-] swab148@startrek.website 5 points 1 year ago

Or as I've started calling it, GNU + Soap

[-] glassware@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Is this part of a series or something? I have no idea what any part of it means

[-] pmjv@lemmy.sdf.org 10 points 1 year ago

Yes, this is part of the Frontier series, a techno-mage spinoff.

[-] Artyom@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago

To be more authentic with the mideival lore, the fox should have a pufferfish codpiece in their armor.

Hot damn your artstyle made Xenia look creepy. I guess that's the point tho?

~~The penguins also look stoned but that part I fully approve of.~~
