I though of:
Your hardware deserves better.
Also you can give some more realistic ones like my friend:
It just (not) works
Have it your* way.
*your way may involve several hours of configuration
Make Mac style advert showing everything from a touchscreen experience with fully integrated apps to the most advanced computing one could image
‘all in your hands, have it your way’
Linux, when you want to tell the computer to shut the fuck up and just do it’s job.
you don’t even have to tell it 😎 Linux is the silent dangerous type standing in a shady corner
It’s yours.
“Better learn to use the command line, kid”
I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called Linux, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.
There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called Linux distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux!
Linux: “Freedom and innovation for all”
Your computer needs a dose of FREEEEEEDOM
This seems to imply that Linux makes your computer produce oil
Replace OS before they replace you. Linux - the last adventure.
Its my machine. I dont need to sign into Microsofts Terms and Conditions to be able to use my hardware.
Uh I guess we’d need to extend it to Linux + FOSS in general.
Power users: I think we should steal whatever the latest IKEA marketing team have come up with because the appeal is kinda the same as IKEA furniture where you feel more ownership over something having built it from the flat packed box your self.
Average users: does a degoogled chromeOS exist? You just need a video of someone playing with a tablet like interface, then choosing to postpone an update with no dark pattern om the textbox prompt.
One line slogan: Did you ever wish the people who made your software were more passionate about the product than their next promotion?
Your hardware Your choice Your style
more powerful than a speeding loco motive
Good one from back in the day (not mine): “In a world without walls and fences, who needs Windows and Gates?”
But it has a direct reference to it’s competitors which won’t be viable in 100 years when windows shuts down
Fun facts:
- The backend of Microsoft’s biggest money maker Azure runs on Linux: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/microsoft-showcases-the-azure-cloud-switch-acs/
- The most-used OS inside Azure is Linux: https://thenewstack.io/microsoft-linux-is-the-top-operating-system-on-azure-today/
- Microsoft is the second biggest contributor to open source software: https://opensourceindex.io/
- Microsoft has published their own Linux distro: https://github.com/microsoft/azurelinux
- Microsoft has published a support page on how to install Linux: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/linux/install
The OS wars are over, and Linux won.
In the server world, yes. The desktop is the place that needs to be won over.
WSL is sufficient for many Windows users and developers without privacy concerns motivating them to switch to a full Linux distro.
The desktop is dying.
I think the desktop is evolving, and may one day become effectively irrelevant, But there is still a long way to go before local compute goes away, which means a local OS is still needed.
Okay I will switch, please leave us in peace penguinlord
