Question: What popular operating system, launched in 1991, also has its own mascot, Tux the penguin?

Answer: Linux

A popular open-source operating system that was first released in 1991 by Linus Torvalds, a Finnish software engineer. It quickly gained popularity among developers for its stability, security, and flexibility.

The mascot for Linux is Tux the penguin, which was chosen as a lighthearted and friendly symbol for the operating system. The name "Tux" is believed to come from "(T)orvalds (U)ni(X)", but also reflects the penguin's natural "tuxedo-like" appearance.

Why "Dooley?"

Inspired by the founder's alma mater - Emory University's spirit mascot, Dooley represents the voice of the student body. And when Dooley shows up to your class, you can count on a fun time and the rest of the day off!
