New New T-shirt colors we have been waiting for a long time

Free software developers and Linux distributions are constantly joining our project. We are always glad to have any new partners. We adapt their new logo for embroidery, test the embroidery (usually it takes more than 10 embroiders to ensure the logo looks good), choose relevant colors,  make samples and coordinate with partners. The whole process can take about a month. Finally, we launch embroidery of a new logo, a lot of work is done, but we only sell one or two T-shirts or even none at all. Our new partner asks us how sales are going, but there are no sales. For our part, we always send e-mails about new products to our subscribers and also post photos of new embroideries on Mastodon, but that's not enough.  Continue reading...

I like compact and portable things, and I like playing video games. These two combine very well in the form of portable gaming consoles. I previously had a Linux-based (Raspbian?) Anbernic RG353V retro handheld console. It was interesting, but it was also very hard getting some games working and it also lacked power.
Recently, I was looking on the used market for a PlayStation 5 and I saw a Steam Deck for a price that I could afford, so I ended up buying one for $240. Continue reading...

Our T-shirts and polo shirts are 100% cotton, and our sweatshirts and jackets are 80% cotton – because cotton is a natural textile, very comfortable to wear, soft, breathable and durable. But the growing of cotton needs large amounts of water, pesticides and large areas of fertile land. Pollution through pesticides has a big influence on the environment, and it will take a long time to recover. One kilogram of cotton requires 8,000–10,000 liters of water (the weight of one T-shirt is about 200 grams). A lot of energy and earth’s resources are spent to produce cotton products, so we should be more careful with our clothes and try to use them for as long as possible. Continue reading...

We are still searching for the Tux with beer boot screen. Our old friend has become very popular at our shop, so it would be interesting to find the original source. And we made an alternative Tux with wine, for those who prefer not only beer. Continue reading...
