Where is the Linux icon used?

In software and platforms, this icon appears in Linux distributions like Ubuntu, Debian, and Fedora, indicating an operating system.

What does the Linux icon tell users?

From a UX perspective, this icon communicates an open-source or development action to users, helping them understand functionality and navigate interfaces effectively.

Which library is the Linux icon from?

Linux is one of 214 icons in uiw icons, made by liwen0526 and released under MIT. It is drawn on a 20 × 20 grid.

How do I make the Linux icon accessible?

Next to a visible label it's decoration: add aria-hidden="true" so screen readers skip it. Standing alone, as in an icon button, give the button a name instead, like aria-label="Linux", so screen readers say what it does.

Can I pass aria-hidden or aria-label to the Linux icon?

Yes. LinuxIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so works, and so do role="img" with aria-label, or a title child, when it carries meaning on its own.

Can I download the Linux icon as SVG or PNG?

Yes. Open Get icon, then Download file: SVG for code or design tools like Figma; PNG, WebP or JPEG at 512px; or an ICO favicon with 16, 32 and 48px inside. Each one uses what you set in Customize.

How do I install the Linux icon with the shadcn CLI?

Sign in (it's free), then open Get icon, Install with shadcn CLI, and pick your package manager to copy the command. It adds LinuxIcon to components/icons/uiw-linux.tsx: one file, a size prop (24 by default) and every SVG prop, with no icon package.

How do I use the Linux icon in Next.js or React?

Copy it as React (from Get icon, or the Code section): a typed LinuxIcon component you paste into your project, with no package to install. Only the icons you import reach your bundle. It works in Next.js and any React app.

How do I use the Linux icon in Vue, Svelte or Angular?

Open Get icon, then Copy as code, and pick Vue, Svelte, Angular, Solid or Preact; the Code section shows each one too. Every version is one self-contained component with the SVG inside, and SVG and data URL copies are there for plain HTML and CSS.

Can my AI agent install the Linux icon for me?

With Pro, the shadcn.io MCP server lets Claude Code, Cursor or any MCP client find the Linux icon, or any of 214 uiw icons icons, and install it from a prompt.

Can I use the Linux icon in commercial projects?

Yes. MIT allows commercial use; keep the license notice when you ship the icons' source files. The full terms are in the license, linked on this page.

Do I have to credit the author of the Linux icon?

No visible credit is required: MIT only asks that you keep the license notice if you ship the icons' source files. Icons installed with the shadcn CLI already start with a comment naming uiw icons, liwen0526 and the license.

Is the Linux icon free?

Yes. Copying and downloading it is free, and the shadcn CLI install only needs a free account.

Which other libraries have the Linux icon?

8 other libraries draw an icon called Linux. The Other libraries section on this page shows each one, so you can compare them and open the one that fits your style.

What tags does the Linux icon have?

Its tags are UI, icon, development, open-source, linux and operating-system. Each tag page lists the icons that carry it from every library, which is the quickest way to find a match for Linux in another set.

How do I change the color of the Linux icon?

It's drawn in currentColor, so it takes the text color wherever you use it: a class like text-primary recolors it. To bake a color in, set one in Customize before you copy.

How do I change the size of the Linux icon?

Set width and height on the component, or a class like size-6. It's drawn on a 20 × 20 grid, so it stays sharp at any size. Customize also sets the size it exports at, its padding and rotation.

Does the Linux icon work in dark mode?

Yes. It follows the text color, so with text-foreground (or any theme token) it changes with your light and dark themes. The icon is a vector, so it needs no separate dark asset.

Linux

The linux icon represents the Linux operating system logo, commonly used for open-source software and development.
