A group of penguins is called a distribution.

Holy fuck, is that a GNU/LINUX reference?
- Is this a Gnome reference?
  
  Richard Stallman, the early days.
  
  Everybody knows god stole the idea of feet from GNOME
  
  Death proof... This movie got me laughing so hard at this guy as a kid.. xD .. I'm surprised I still remember the movie's name

I'm in this picture and I don't mind at all. Penguins are fucking cool. I'm gonna go to Argentina just to see them in the wild.
- It is said that only those who make the pilgrimage to see the penguins in person will be blessed with the full power of linux
  
  Do zoos count? Then child me might have given more power than I could have imagined.

The collective noun for a group of linuxes is a "a musk of linuxes"
- These days I suspect most Linux users would like to distance themselves from the term “musk”.
  
  I honestly forgor that guy exists for a second x3

I actually really like Penguins, but I think it was because of Fight Club and not Linux.
- I always liked penguins and Tux.. But that movie cemented penguins as my spirit animal :)

I liked penguins before Linux was

his name is tux!

Does anyone know how we ended up with penguins as the logo? I kinda get the BSD demon “beastie.” Microsoft chose the windows flag/window pane. Mac has an Apple/the finder face. Android is a cute green robot. iOS pretends to be too sophisticated for a mascot so we’ll just say it’s the Apple again.
And yet we somehow got penguins.
- Wasn't it something like Linus really likes penguins?
  
  Based on a song parody by SUSE I believe a 'little penguin bit him at the zoo'. But don't quote me on that.
- There's a story. If you search you'll find it readily.

I like petting them, can recommend. Dont get bitten, can't recommend.

Penlings
- Pangwangs

To be fair, I do that when I see puffins too

Are these called "Wojack" memes? I've never understood why this art style became so popular.
- soyjaks. and they embody the more grubby parts of the web
  
  Ah, gotcha. Feel like I'm too old to keep up with it now.

So true

I can hear this meme.
