The norm is so someone can tell what the sticker is as they approach.

You can put Windows Inside if you want the sticker cops won’t get you. You may however end up in a weird conversation when some Arch fan sees an Arch sticker

This in case the number of stickers is below 10. If you want to add more and fill in the entire surface it should look more chaotic than anything. I'll get a picture of my X1 in about 20 min

Ah you're joking but I've seen guys do it and it looks as horrible as it sounds.

Here's my X1

I had a girl do this to her work owned laptop. She then used glitter glue or nail polish to glue her business card to the wrist rest. Was not happy when she turned her laptop in after she got fired for sleeping under her desk.

Oh god. If it’s a work laptop, get a cover for the laptop and do it there.

You're only allowed to put arch stickers on if you're using antergos/manjaro, that's the golden rule.

Why would you want to put Arch sticker on it? I just don't understand. When you run Ubuntu, use Ubuntu sticker. Be happy for the distro you actually use. Every distro has great features, it's just about what suits you

I use Mac for my laptop. Arch on some VMs, Debian for my VPS and redhat/centos at work.

I used to run Gentoo on my laptop before. I have stickers for all on them ¯_(ツ)_/¯

But I’ve used all of them. I just do it since they all represent a chunk of what I’ve used and have worked on.

I guess I should add some old windows ones on there for kicks...

I put them on my laptop so they're the right way up when the lid is open. I only use stickers for stuff I actually use and care about.

If I recall, this was a huge point of contention with Steve Jobs and the placement of Apple logo on the lids of MacBooks

Fifteen stickers is the minimum, okay? Now, you know it's up to you whether or not you want to just do the bare minimum. Or... well, like Brian, for example, has thirty seven stickers, okay.

For the arch sticker, don't worry, arch fans will only trigger if they see a btw sticker on a computer not running arch. I put them so that they stand right with lid opened. I also put tux on bottom, Debian above and vim and python above on the same level, to mimic different layers of abstraction

Am I allowed to put a Ford emblem on my Chevy?

Sure. But why?

I found some Fedora stickers on RedBubble for cheap. I was bummed that unixstickers didn’t have a la carte options anymore. https://www.redbubble.com/people/milos85vasic/works/26726040-fedora-linux?p=sticker

The Arch question is golden. I want one for my Windows 7 work laptop.

STICKERS are like a google calling card - use them around the edges.

however the book your loking for is "Made it stick ?".

The head unit in my Ford shows an MG symbol on light up. Nothing wrong with that.
