@Neotheta this is great! I'd love to see a phone wallpaper of her. If you're open for commissions on that theme let me know!

@digifox Whenever I open for the next batch of commissions you're welcome to!

@Neotheta just a friendly reminder to add an image description to your images, since there are people around here with visual impairments that can't see images.

that aside, awesome job! xenia deserves more love that they get. <3

@Neotheta where do you announce your openings primarily? (Also, your fediverse profile doesn't include a link to your FA or anything)

@digifox I announce opening dates on FA, here and twitter - the info & ordering is on my website: https://neotheta.fi/commissions

Still need to sort the links to my profile, a little new here still :D

@Neotheta I really like Xenia, they're awesome. I'm curious though, is there something against Tux I missed?

@TheMNWolf Tux is fine too. It's like distros - there's one for everyone!

@Greuppe Can't seem to add that afterwards. What more am I supposed to write than "I drew x"?

@Neotheta a good description for this image would be "a drawing of a female anthropomorphic fox named xenia, she has round glasses with blorde hair, and is holding a laptop"

a good rule of thumb is: describe what you see. image description is for the people that can't see the image, after all.

@Neotheta @Greuppe Looks like you can add the text afterwards: edit the post and click "Edit" in the corner of the image.

Inspired by: Spending an entire day installing Debian 11 because grub didn't want to install itself so I had to do so manually.

There's no feeling like having it all work out in the end!

@0x10f @Greuppe mine doesn't show the button in edit mode, but when posting a new image it does. I'm gonna look at it on a different computer when I get a moment, in case it's old browser related (somehow).

@Neotheta @0x10f @Greuppe It might depend on your fediverse software. If you're using Mastodon, support for editing media descriptions when editing posts only got added in the v4.1.0 update released February 10th:
https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/releases/tag/v4.1.0

The workaround before then was to edit the post, remove the media, reupload the media, then save the post edit.

(I tried to check what software finfur.net was running, but couldn't easily find the instance details - I may have messed up the WebFinger request.)

@digitalfox @0x10f @Greuppe
It's quite likely it isn't the newest version, it's very few people running the servers and they got a lot of other things on their plate (I'm really thankful they do this mastodon server stuff)

but also my stuff is ancient too, need to update my os, I don't even wanna say how old it is!

I just want to clarify incase there was confusion: this is just fanart because I use linux and I like her design. It's not trying to be official or anything more than personal fun. And I do also like Tux, more the merrier.

@Neotheta I want her on my Super key instead of Tux

@Sifuri_Ibex you gotta go commission one of those those key makers who put tiny figures inside a key and mold them into clear resin with glitter.

@Neotheta The expression on Xenia's face serums like she's listening to someone condescend to her about something she already knows way more about. The glasses and their style is an extra nice touch.

@TheyOfHIShirts That's pretty much what I thought when drawing the expression :D

@Neotheta I wish they’d finally replace that penguin with something beautiful like this… 🙏

@aurorapenguin @imdat @Neotheta I mean, I could see the penguin being a charming and supportive trans guy...and they could be in a t4t relationship....and now I just accidentally started writing fanfiction? 😅

@Neotheta I feel like Tux represents what Linux is supposed to be, while Xénia represents what it is

@mateu_protogen2K linux is supposed to be just a silly small penguin but is actually a smart badass fox? :D

@Neotheta Anthony Young of Linus Tech Tips liked that.

@Neotheta Oh, what happened to the picture? It 404s for me. Did it get wiped out, or is it just temporarily gone?
