📰 Aurora is the KDE side of Bluefin, and it might be the most polished Linux desktop right now
I'm a huge fan of Linux's KDE. It's my favorite desktop environment by far, and sometimes, simply learning that an OS uses KDE is enough of an excuse to give it a try. So, when I heard that the Bluefin distro had a KDE fork called Aurora, I knew I had to give it a try.

📰 Linux's adorable Tux the Penguin mascot turns 30 today, and the OG design is still being used
Whenever people think of Linux, the first thing that springs to mind, regardless of whether they're an open-source vet or if they've never even touched a Linux PC before, is Tux. Tux is the penguin associated with the Linux kernel as a whole, and he's found his way onto operating systems, merch, and various memes that depict the image creator's distaste for Windows.
