Only if staring at boobs and failing to make eye contact with women is sexist Edit: that's a yes. Because apparently that isn't obvious to some folks around here
I think that's just "sexual", not "sexist."

Nope. The framing, cropping the face and focusing on the chest, is distinctly objectifying.
I think there is a strong arguement for objectifying, but still think it's more "sexual" than "objectifying", and definitely those two way more than it's "sexist".
Sexism is discrimination based on sex. Discrimination is different treatment based on a characteristic.
What is the standard pick these days for a no-frills, stripped back, but still usable Linux distribution? One that doesn't start with much, but isn't boiling the ocean like Arch or Slack if you want to add more? I used to like Xubuntu, but this was like a decade ago at this point.
Design choices:
* Rolling release
* Custom package manager: XBPS with binary package repository. It's pretty darn good IMHO.
* Minimal init process: runit
* LibreSSL (vs OpenSSL)
* User can choose standard library: Glibc or musl
* Prefer dash over bash in system scripts
You get the drift. The biggest change to a user is probably the use of XBPS as a package manager. The repository of pre-compiled binaries is pretty extensive, and the package definition scripts are dead simple. The entire collection of package definitions is in a repo on GitHub, so sharing your package definitions is also quite painless.
Their IRC channel on freenode (#voidlinux) is also pretty active with lots of knowledgeable and helpful people.
That logo makes it a non-starter in any organization I've seen in the last decade.
How many of those organisations feature smiling attractive women in their product advertising? It's funny how many companies are happy to use sex to sell products but god forbid someone see a silhouette of a bikini.

Regardless of that logo, those north-American organizations would not be running a minimalist Linux distro written by a single guy in the first place, but some sort of Lovecraftian Kubernetes setup involving redundancy everywhere, especially in the software stack.

After that, you’re basically in arch land, which is an excellent no-frills stripped back experience, with an unrivaled user-created package repository. Seriously, every time I have to install something on Ubuntu it drives me crazy to have to use whatever out-dated stuff they have in the repos, or to go hunting for a PPA. With arch it’s one command to install almost anything (assuming you’re using pikaur or the like for installing from the arch user repository).
New logo needed. The chopped off head is bad luck in parts of Asia.
Isn’t that a bit of a sexist logo...?

Not to be dumb, but for a newcomer such as myself who read the blurbs about it being simple to use and develop for, not being able to have a single ISO to download and install is from this point in my Linux Journey, not simple. I'm not making a value judgment as to whether or not I should know how to compile source code and running this on top of another Linux and so fort, but I can intuit my way through installing D…
