<p>IUseLinuxGuys: Repaired the links</p> <hr /> <div>Featured prominently below is a list of OS-tans, which are named after the operating system they personify combined with the Japanese suffix -tan (たん), an overly cute mispronunciation of -chan (ちゃん) (specifically a child's slurring of it). All were created by various amateur artists; and although the OS-tan phenomenon originated in the Japanese imageboard Futaba Channel and the overwhelming majority of the artwork is still produced in Japan, a growing number of international artists are contributing both fan-based and original artwork of their own. Therefore, this list is meant to record all OS-tans drawn or discovered to date, regardless of location, artistic merit or popularity of the system personified. Profiles will be provided for each character if possible; however, given the incongruous nature of this fan-based movement, these may not always be comprehensive.<br /> <br /> In addition, a large number of computer-related characters are also included in this list, given that their important support role also makes them indivisible from the OS-tans (both in fan-based media and real life). These include personfications of hardware, software applications, browsers, websites, malware and game consoles.<br /> <br /> [[Image:MEtanwantsyou.jpg|right]]<br /> <br /> *'''[https://www.ostan-collections.net/wiki/index.php/Windows-tans Windows-tans]'''<br /> *'''[https://www.ostan-collections.net/wiki/index.php/Apple-tans Apple-tans]'''<br /> *'''[https://www.ostan-collections.net/wiki/index.php/Dos-tans DOS-tans]'''<br /> *'''[https://www.ostan-collections.net/wiki/index.php/Linux-tans Linux-tans]'''<br /> *'''[https://www.ostan-collections.net/wiki/index.php/Unix-tans Unix-tans]'''<br /> *'''[https://www.ostan-collections.net/wiki/index.php/Mainframe-tans Mainframe-tans]'''<br /> *'''[https://www.ostan-collections.net/wiki/index.php/Other_OS-tans Other OS-tans]'''<br /> *'''Non OS-tans'''<br /> **''[https://www.ostan-collections.net/wiki/index.php/App-tans App-tans]''<br /> **''[https://www.ostan-collections.net/wiki/index.php/Hardware-tans Hardware-tans]''<br /> **''[https://www.ostan-collections.net/wiki/index.php/Malware-tans Malware-tans]''<br /> **''[https://www.ostan-collections.net/wiki/index.php/Moezilla Moezilla]''<br /> **''[https://www.ostan-collections.net/wiki/index.php/Site-tans Site-tans]''<br /> *'''Male Characters'''<br /> **''[https://www.ostan-collections.net/wiki/index.php/OS-kuns OS-Kuns]''<br /> **''[https://www.ostan-collections.net/wiki/index.php/App-tans App-Kuns]''<br /> **''[https://www.ostan-collections.net/wiki/index.php/Site-kuns Site-kuns]''<br /> **''[https://www.ostan-collections.net/wiki/index.php/Malware-kuns Malware-Kuns]''<br /> *'''[https://www.ostan-collections.net/wiki/index.php/View_All View All]'''</div>
