What advertising slogan would you give for Linux?

more powerful than a speeding loco motive

Have it your* way.

*your way may involve several hours of configuration

"Better learn to use the command line, kid"

Your computer needs a dose of FREEEEEEDOM

Linux, when you want to tell the computer to shut the fuck up and just do it's job.

Your hardware Your choice Your style

Replace OS before they replace you. Linux - the last adventure.

It’s yours.

Linux: "Freedom and innovation for all"

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?

Its my machine. I dont need to sign into Microsofts Terms and Conditions to be able to use my hardware.

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!

valve's success is the rebranding of flatpak wine fsync and dxvk as steam runtime and proton. people fucking hate Linux and will only use it by accident

Because it's your computer

"Own your computer" and "Free your computer"

Forget the hardware

YOU deserve better

Linux. The Power of the Community.

I didn't come up with it and the picture is not mine. I just found it on the internet earlier.

Linux: you've been using it for years and don't even know it

Good one from back in the day (not mine): "In a world without walls and fences, who needs Windows and Gates?"

Buy it, own it.

Linux: it ain't Windows.

Join a Movement, not a Marketplace

"Your Computer".

"Linux...

"Because you don't have to be the product"

"No overlords"

"What spying?"

"Infinitely extendable"

Which one do you like best?

"Maybe she was born with it. Maybe it's Linux, G"

"For slogan, please refer to the according man page"

more seriously maybe "Software it your own way"

Yours to make, yours to break.

Batman runs Linux. Shouldn't you?

“If you knew what it was, you’d be using it already.”

"It does exactly what you tell it to do."

Its not windows

"I didn't want to play that game anyway."

"It's terminal"

Build a Legacy, not a Lock-In

RTFW

It is in fact GNU/Linux.

Hurts So Good

Two out of 10 Linux users agree that insert name here is the best distro

Free as in beer

Think ~~Different~~ Freely.

With a bit of a double-entendre, "It powers the world", since it's the most common server platform.

More funny: "It's not an OS. It's a hobby."

"It just works"

..because that is the state of a mainstream modern distro, and it's not true of Windows anymore.

Alternatively "No nagging, no forced online account."

You can fix it, really. :)

Linux/GNU: We put GNU where it belongs.

Arch, btw.

Do it yourself

Wobbly Windows in a Windows-less World

Jokingly: "Linux is free if your time is worthless"

Though this tongue-in-cheek tagline takes the "free as in free beer" misinterpretation of the term "free software", I've always found it a fun way to describe the time investment you'll need to make if you've spent your whole life using Windows before making the switch.

lol I was going to suggest "it just works"

I would not have suggested that before this year but it's definitely true now, or at least truer than for Windows/Apple.

“Capitalism kills”

It's pretty difficult to have a slogan when the price tag is reason enough to download it

If you don't read the man pages, we're going to ban you from the chat.

From Hobby to Hero: Linux Powers the Curious

Probably thing valve does where all the other players in the market are so shit, you doing very little garners huge public support.

WHEEL OF LINUX!!! (I'll take Arch, by the way, Pat!)

Linux: We never would have given you Klippy.

I'd copy you and drop the hardware. Just: you deserve better

Virtue by default, Linux.

Take your digital freedom back!

Can’t believe it’s not Windows.

Its (windows)10'oclock. Do you recall where your screenshots are?

The penguin is merciful.

"Get judged by more advanced Linux users until you get good enough to do the judging"

When I started my own design for Tux I came up with "it's all about U" written on the repo where I've developed it (upstream isn't updated)

In hindsight it involuntarily highlights the difference between the open source and the free software movement pretty well, I'm definitely for the latter, but it is accurate to the product and its creator

For the Mavericks and Makers

Linux: Where all your personal data already exists in the cloud.

The only operating with so many names, but always the same experience... Linux!

Linux: Our Code of Conduct says we have to let you join us.

Linux: The home for Windows and MacOS refugees.

Linux: The Vi delivery system you've been waiting for! /s

At least it's not Windows?

Leave us alone, we don't need more users

From one of my memes (which compares the common 3 OS types): https://beehaw.org/pictrs/image/3ad94e0f-c145-4b1b-9a41-16f3ebcfee1b.webp

It will hurt the whole way down. Please don't climb.

Also implies that you can actually climb it (metaphorical for "learning") and has the option to stay above or climb down. Based on the image, its an art project that just stays there for you to explore.
