Tux on r/place

You can reach us directly on Discord, Matrix, or Telegram.

Tools

Overlay

If you would like to help us place Tux, we highly recommend you use our Overlay! It's a userscript that runs through a browser extension that will render an image on top of the r/place canvas showing incorrect pixels:

Overlay example

Installation instructions:

  1. Install the Violentmonkey addon/extension on your browser:
  2. Install the user script

For troubleshooting regarding the Overlay see here, or ask us directly on Discord / Matrix / Telegram.

Images with Coords

If you prefer not to use the Overlay, you can find expanded images with coordinates here: original Tux | new Tux / FOSS

Contributing

You can propose a fix/modification to the artwork by editing artwork/tux/tux.png and posting a pull request to this repo. After we review it and accept it, the Overlay and other things will get automatically updated.

If you are a member of one of our alliances trying to change your artwork, make a PR with the updated corresponding image in artwork/allies/

To change the anchor point of an artwork, modify the x0,y0 values in the corresponding entry in positions.json.

Our canvas corners:

(20,758)  (71,758)

Canvas Size?

Ideally we would take up the entire 2000x1000 canvas for ourselves, but that would make other communities sad... And it's also impossible. We would create 3 progressively larger pixel arts (a 50x50, a 75x75 and a 100x100 version) for Tux and Distro/DE. We would draw the appropriate one in r/place, based on territory gained.

Why should I use Linux?

It respects your freedom and privacy.

  • You can see every line of code it uses, so you can be sure there is no backdoor or keylogger. (The NSA tried 3 times to get a backdoor into linux, but failed)

It runs on older computers, saving them from the landfill.

  • It is very fast and lightweight.

  • It costs exactly $0

It's yours.

  • EVERY SINGLE ASPECT OF LINUX can be modified however you want, and is only limited by hardware.

  • It can look real sexy (take a look at r/unixporn).

  • You don't have a giant, monopoly, money-seeking company forcing you to do what it thinks is best for you, making you the product (I'm looking at you Microsoft and Apple...)

  • Many, many options to choose from and to customize your system as you see fit.

  • You get to brag about how smart you are when a Windoze user sees you "hAcKIng" (I use Arch btw).

It's powerful and secure.

  • The command line is really good and lets you do very complex things in one line, while user-friendly graphic interfaces work well for those that don't want to use commands.

  • Package managers make installing software a breeze, and always from a verified malware-free source.

  • It's almost impossible to get a virus in Linux (meme).

  • TONS of support for Linux: ask a question, and in a few minutes people will be responding.

  • Countless other reasons.
