i saw this beautiful ubuntu 18.10 inspired art over on the ubuntu subreddit. i thought it was cool in and of itself, but also neat that it was created with krita

I saw it on Twitter. Looks impressive.
How the heck they come up with those names =\
i was kinda curious about this as well and a quick search came up with an article from @abhishek himself i personally like them. i feel like it gives them a little personal touch.
I love the names in Linux - far better than just a number they give each release a personality - or is that just me.
And yes I know the last reply to this was 6 months ago, but we’ve had new members join since it was posted and I am sure some of them would have wondered and will find this interesting.
i had meant to follow this up with a post of the same artist’s inspired take on the disco dingo for 19.04. instead i’ll just append it here. i would like to note that this one was created with krita and blender (both free and open source):

Damn I just saw this now - and been using Cosmic for a few months now… This time next week I’ll probably be running Disco Dingo… I kinda prefer the Cuttlefish artwork than the Dingo…
and besides that, we Australians have never lived down Meryl Streep’s atrocious affectation of “Strayan” - with “the dingo got my byebee” (never mind Elaine’s hilarious dingo + baby outburst in Seinfeld)…
