It is my belief that computing attracts a very particular personality type as well - the INTP. I know because I was surrounded by them at Uni and spent 15 years working alongside them in IT roles!Moem wrote:Nope, sorry, that does not work for me at all.

Tux is a penguin. Still not going to fly.Jedinovice wrote: I doubt, in reality, a mascot character for Mint is going to fly. I don't think most Mint users would ever actually get into a mascot character. If I were SERIOUS about a Mint mascot; I would just take Tux and give him a green hairdo myself.
I usually don't use such direct wording, but that's ridiculous. Everyone uses computer nowadays.Jedinovice wrote:...

I think my point has been proven...Tux is a penguin. Still not going to fly.
OK, let me clarify a bit. For the record, while it has taken a while to get people into Linux, oddly enough, as I count the 'converts' every single one has been an INFP, excluding the local orphans.JerryF wrote:I usually don't use such direct wording, but that's ridiculous.

If you're talking about making Mint more attractive, you'd be wanting people from all walks of life. Not just the INTP type. INTP don't need silly mascots to be attracted.
Remember this annoying guy from Microsoft?
