Born in the early days of the internet, Tux became the face of Linux โ the open-source revolution that changed everything. No corporations. No gatekeepers. Just people building together, with nothing but passion, code, and a vision for a freer world.
Why a penguin?
The idea of using a penguin came from Linus Torvalds, the creator of Linux. He once joked that he liked penguins and even mentioned being bitten by one at a zoo โ that led to the humorous and lovable nature of the mascot.
