Quote from: tomahawk114514 on September 30, 2026, 04:47:55 AMHello, all your works look great. I like that you've drawn almost all of the os-tans instead of just a few popular characters.

By the way, I recently found the nice original 10-tan character，and I hope you can also draw a poster for her.

Thank you ^^.
And sure, I'll add this 10-tan to my list of OS-tans to draw.

Nice meeting you Tomahawk! I think we've had members from China before but I'm not sure they've spoken about the OS-tan fan community in China, so these are interesting insights!

Besides Greendam-tan, are there many fan-made OS-tans in China? Also, what sort of old PCs does the leader of the OS-tan community build? I'm always interested to learn about the retro computing scenes in different nations.

Hello everyone, I'm Tomahawk. I'm an Os-Tan fan from China. My English is not good, so I used machine translation. If there are any unclear expressions, please forgive me. Also to avoid censorship, I often use the VPN, so please don't treat me as a bot.

I just registered an account recently, but I have been lurking on this forum for some time. I'm a hardcore otaku and found the Os-tan accidentally in middle school. At that time, XP-Tan was very famous in China because Windows XP dominated the entire country from the late 2000s to the early 2010s, although most of them used pirated versions. Chinese otakus even created Greendam-Tan (a software developed by the Chinese government for censorship) inspired by Os-Tan. My favorite Os-Tan is also XP-Tan, but I also love the old characters like Me-Tan and 2K-Tan. However, the one that is popular in China now is Madobe Ichika created by Karv, but I don't like this character because she is too young (I'm against pedophilia).

Finally, there is an Os-Tan community in China, and I'm a core member of it. The leader is a fan of Me-Tan and loves building the old PC. If you are interested in this, you can ask me any questions (except for political content).

Quote from: VonDaab on September 28, 2026, 02:35:01 PMConsidering 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.
