Considering how modern Mint comes in 3 flavours of desktop environments, wonder how much that would affect their design?

Ada came originally with KDE, while KDE got dropped with Sylvia (18.3).

Honestly, dunno how much. In my mind, they represent the sum of the features, bugs, ideas of each version.
Perhaps a change in color palette (some elements in white?) and maybe for the KDE versions they could look like my Ada design, just with a more cohesive color choice as they gain more of a unique identity each release. 

Speaking of which, I wanted to do one for when Cinnamon was introduced (Maya 13) but I don't remember why I didn't. Guess I didn't want to overwhelm myself.

Stew put the idea of chubby belly & hips Homeko in my head and I had to draw it.

I take a "show me what you've got" stance on tweaks/updates/redesigns of characters I created (or adopted or co-created)! When I first joined the forum there was a pretty strong sense of communal ... ownership isn't quite the right word ... stewardship, maybe, over the characters we created, and I've carried that attitude ever since. I respect that not everyone feels that way about their characters, but I definitely think my personifications should follow the ethos of the original Futaba OS-tans as a group project.

I think I have a similar approach to you with my OS-tan characters. I don't mind if people do redesigns or different takes on them as long as it is interesting and 'not harmful' and are at least credited for the original idea if possible.

On a similar note, and I don't know if this makes sense: When I was thinking of some of my designs I tried and attempted to think how would a community like Futaba and the like come up with ideas for new OS-tans. Of course, that can only go so far as it just me with my biases lol
