From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Why do companies constantly feel an urge to update their logos? I see this as marketing teams needing to show they are doing something so they come up with a "project" and then convince the management it's necessary...

Nobody needs marketing people.

Because the CEO is probably having an existential dread crisis and needs to do something about it. So he fucks up the logo because he can, and fuck you. Now watch Mozilla ads from their newly acquired Ad company.
