Cool, I hope this gets mass adopted, so that I can replace my RSS reader with my Mastodon account.

I’m a little bit conflicted honestly, because I’m not a fan of the idea of A.I. art, in general. But I also have to admit this result looks really good. Very cool character and perspective! I also like your take with him being a defender/carrying no weapon.

I think maybe it needs some more work in the surroundings, because some of the buildings don’t make sense (missing walls e.g. around his shield).

Linux ist mostly used for servers, where you rarely need/have a graphical environment. A big part of development is making sure to keep the kernel safe and prevent endangering critical infrastructure.

That said, I agree if Linux is to be adopted more widely as a desktop system, good graphical UI is crucial. It’s just not the focus of most Linux devs.
