Doesn't really fit that well in small areas, and it sorta works in black and white, but not really.

I love Tux, but I wish Linux as a whole would have a logo. Like, you have Windows and Apple logo that represent the OSes in a simple way, it works even if the logo is small. Linux doesn't have that, so when someone needs a logo they just use the logo of a Linux distro instead, or they show multiple distros, or more likely, they will visually represent some distros, but not all distros they support.

Keep in mind that because MicroOS, Leap Micro and Aeon have icons already set, this means that whoever design the rest will be restricted by the currently existing ones.

Like, both MicroOS and Leap Micro have a horizontal line and a circle in the middle. And Leap Micro basically forces a new design of Leap logo to be almost exactly like the previous one. And Aeon has the middle circle of Micro, but split into two, so Kalpa should also have the split circle somewhere.

That said, I'm not exactly a fan of the MicroOS, Leap Micro and Aeon logos. They are just outlines, and very thin. I understand that logos need to work in monochrome, but they are just.... Anorexic. Would prefer if there was an entire rebranding

Sadly I am away from a computer for quite a while so I can't truly test it, but the first picture shows a nice concept of Brightness X Hue between two colors.

I can't say I'm an artist, but I did design the current icon of a semi famous Android app, and I was actually using numbers to pick the correct values, as I wished the colors had a somewhat understandable mathematical relationship between each other

I'm not exactly sure if I follow. Like, isn't brightness already slider when using HSV? Meaning you can just change the brightness without changing Hue or Saturation.

Edit: HSL, not HSV

Isn't that just a semitransparent layer on top?

You are being rather ambiguous with how your program works, which I understand. But if the primary way of selecting colors is through words then that is big issue that I feel can't be made to work outside of English.

If the selection is more "traditional", like a color wheel or whatnot, and the text is just a description (I think coolors does this) then it might be translatable.

Like, the issue with "pink" being "light red" is that you can't actually select pink and a lighter shade of red if the selection is through text. If the selection isn't text based then you can just have two colors being "light red" cause it is true anyway

How do you plan to deal with translations? Cause not every descriptive word is translatable, some languages have words to refer to two shades, while another has only one word and both shades are culturally perceived as a single shade.

I honestly don't remember any app that actually lost their brand or individuality. People complain that MD makes app all look the same, but the only apps that actually implement MD are the ones that don't have a very strong UX/UI Design in the first place. Spotify, Firefox, Meta Apps and such are never actually going to implement Material Design itself, at most they are going to read the guidelines and go "yeah, that seems fair" and implement their own solutions based on Google's idea.

I'm mostly using Flatpaks on Tumbleweed, I only use the package manager if I can't find a Flatpak version. Reason for that is that with Flatpak I can precisely know what I manually installed, as Tumbleweed lacks a proper easy way of getting a list of user installed packages

I love the minimize all windows button. It is so small and functional, I always use the KDE Widget that copies it, and IMO, KDE should use it by default

KDE has the option to disable middle click paste, so I do that. Out of sight, out of mind

Not going to lie, I hate the middle click clipboard and disable it ASAP. I really dislike the idea that it copies things without my explicit permission.

You don't vote with your wallet or usage, you abstain from voting, and that's it

Also cloned apps which is big for me

It makes me really mad cause YouTube is clearly taking ideas from Material Design 3, and even M3 recommends customizing it, but the way YouTube has done it is to make components smaller and harder to use in comparison to canonical M3. Like the bottom bar which is way thinner than the M3 one in comparison.

It makes YouTube look like it's using a M3 knockoff

Yes, but the thing is if you are truly limited by storage, you become paranoid about having to remove old and unused software to free space for the ones you wish to use.

Flatpak offers a benefit on some distros, as you are 100% sure any flatpak can be removed without screwing up with your system. So in a very weird way, the storage increase is worth by knowing you can nuke it if necessary.

If you use Flatpak from the start, the storage thing becomes less of an issue.

Flatpak only takes considerably more space because people use Flatpak as a last resort or too late into the life of the current installation, as flatpak will have too many requirements for too little apps.

Even if a social network loses 99,99% of the user base due to charging to use it, those left are the ones that see no problem paying to use it, so they are more likely to eat up some insane pricing, which would help recoup losses from a smaller user base. Basically whales.

I think the only way to try to kill a social network is by going full scorched earth on it. Remove all your comments, or change them to be an annoying copy pasted comment about why you're getting off the platform. And even then I don't think it is helpful, I did that with Reddit but was forced to leave technical posts intact because I feared I might prevent someone from solving their issue.
