It is unknown if Barbie Linux actually exists but a personification exists anyways, represented as an extremely tall blonde-haired supermodel and beautician in a pink-and-white minidress and based off of the Barbie doll. She considers the XP-tans as rivals due to the mentioning that Barbie Linux is/was intended to be a replacement for Windows XP marketed towards young girls. She is fond of all things cutesy and trendy. Her height is 7'3, the high end of the Barbie doll's predicted height if she were lifesize which range from 6'0 [183 cm] to 7'3 [221 cm]

===Description===
 
It is unknown if Barbie Linux actually exists or not (was announced in the spring of 2006, but there are very few technical details, no screenshots and few articles still in existence) and is likely a hoax but a personification exists, represented as an extremely tall blonde-haired supermodel and beautician in a pink+white minidress. She is 7'3 [221 cm tall], the high end of the Barbie doll's predicted height if she were lifesize which range from 6'0 [183 cm] to 7'3 [221 cm].
 
Despite her extreme height and being the tallest non-mainframe OS-tan, she is hardly intimidating- even to small children and OS-tans. She is very friendly (although blunt at times); fond of all things cute and trendy and is very outgoing around girls but shies away from guys, believing they still have the 'cooties'.
 
Barbie Linux-tan is well-liked among the Mac-tans, most of the Vintage-tans and liberal-minded Linux-tans but is derided by the more conservative Linux-tans and Unix-tans for being a 'sellout' or a 'phony' (as Barbie Linux may be a hoax) and she regards XP Pro-tan as a rival due to the mentioning that Barbie Linux is/was intended to be a replacement for Windows XP marketed towards young girls.
 
Her closest friends are [[Atari TOS | Atari TOS-tan]] ,  [[Coleco Adam | Coleco Adam-tan]], [[Mac OS44 |Macintosh System 4.4-tan]] and [[OS9 | Mac OS 9-tan]].
 
===OSC Notes===
 
Barbie Linux-tan is a wanderer who lives on her own and has an assortment of part-time jobs to make money; mainly as a model, fashion designer and dress maker. And while she needs all the money she can get to continue funding her shops and hire different-sized models for her dresses; she does not mind giving away a few of her dresses, especially to the Vintage-tans.
