I play TF2 on linux and I still don't get Tux the penguin

[toni500]

The first time I played tf2 was on Nvdia GeForce Now in 2020 because my pc was trash, then I tried to install it and was crashing like always (on windows) and I installed it again in 2021 on windows for then switching on Linux and install it there with many others games. I play on Linux Mint which is based on Ubuntu. I have discovered now that there was Tux in tf2 if you play on Linux but I don't have it.

This item was awarded to players who launched Team Fortress 2 using any Linux distribution between February 14th, 2013 and March 1st, 2013. The Tux was still obtainable in-game past the original stated date. It was not until mid to late-March that the Tux finally became unobtainable.

You're about 8 years to late.

Try getting a time machine, and go back 9 years to do it, or just realizing now that you're too late to get it?

^This. Also 9 years.

8 years, as they started playing on Linux in 2021, it took that into account.

Not that one year really matters. The account was created about 7.5 years after the Tux giveaway ended.
