I though of:
Your hardware deserves better.
Also you can give some more realistic ones like my friend:
It just (not) works
threaded - newest
“We hope you like config files”
“I heard you like files… Everything is a file.”
Plan9 would have some opinions about that.
If you don’t read the man pages, we’re going to ban you from the chat.
It is in fact GNU/Linux.
What if I use Alpine?
Dont
Then its Busybox/Linux
Free as in beer
Or
Free as in puppy
Like some kind of prostitute lover.
That is more like a general FOSS than Linux
Hurts So Good
*Hurds
It’s pretty difficult to have a slogan when the price tag is reason enough to download it
Yeah but I’m thinking of some slogan like brand. For example once KDE had that Microsoft later copied
I’d copy you and drop the hardware. Just: you deserve better
“For slogan, please refer to the according man page”
more seriously maybe “Software it your own way”
I recently passed Linux Foundation System Admin and they had a weird Debian that just slapped me with
man not foundor something like thisI like it, but I think proprietary can tell it too.
which manSo, RTFM?
Yes but more polite
PRTFM
“Capitalism kills”
Its not windows
And when you tell your OS to poweroff it… powers off. Wow.
it’s like magic or somethin’.
Amazing!
And when you tell it to suspend or hibernate, it also powers off.
Or it is still turned on cause it failed.
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.
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
"I didn't want to play that game anyway."
More like use Adobe or Microsoft as I’m proud gamer since 2 years on Linux bazzite.gg
.
For me that game was Rust and it was more ‘Maybe for the best if I don’t touch that game again’
What happened? Rust used to have a native Linux client a few years back (i.e. last time I tried it).
Somehow missed your reply until now.
They dropped support on the Linux version forever ago and moved to Easy Anticheat which DOES support being used through Proton but the devs won’t enable it.
Help this is real
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.
This hurts in my first Gentoo installation. Sharp, precise, and accurate pain.
From one of my memes (which compares the common 3 OS types): beehaw.org/…/3ad94e0f-c145-4b1b-9a41-16f3ebcfee1b…
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.
“It’s terminal”
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
“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.”
Everything I encountered that haven’t worked:
And good news, Nvidia seems to have more or less fixed the second one a few months ago.
ftfy
Plural.
Can’t be arsed fixing that for you.

That’s Arch Linux specific slogan I am afraid.

improvements over the competition are black and white… and a little yellow.
Does Linux have competition? But I get your idea.
Choose your starting level!
Linux RPG?
Two out of 10 Linux users agree that
insert name hereis the best distroThat’s optimistic
At least one.
Windows
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.”
Take your digital freedom back!
Leave us alone, we don’t need more users
Depends on what users.
The kind for whom stupid software with ads is made. The kind who give 0 stars to open source software on google play for dumb reasons. The ones who are offended by a program being named “GIMP” or “daemon”.
At least it's not Windows?
Switch to linux and your kids is call

Fun facts:
The OS wars are over, and Linux won.
In the server world, yes. The desktop is the place that needs to be won over.
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.
WSL is sufficient for many Windows users and developers without privacy concerns motivating them to switch to a full Linux distro.
Okay I will switch, please leave us in peace penguinlord
It’s a headache but it’s your headache.
I could apply it to Windows too though.
When you install Windows, you don’t really control your computer. Microsoft does.
Windows Is a headache but it is my headache
same for legacy code lol

Truck? Ask me if…
Yours to
make, yours to break.Good one!
Its (windows)10’oclock. Do you recall where your screenshots are?
Can’t believe it’s not Windows.
Lie to your (insert relative here) that Linux is faster and you install SSD to their computer with a penguin on it.
“Your Computer”.
I think that depends on the hardware but yes.
“It does exactly what you tell it to do.”
Live, Laugh, Linux
Fiddle, Tweak, Reinstall.
“Good luck with those drivers, bud!”
“Get judged by more advanced Linux users until you get good enough to do the judging”

😂
With the most open CVEs, bugs and ports, anyway.
That would be the slogan.
You can fix it, really. :)
Linux. The Power of the Community.

Forget the hardware
YOU deserve better
"Linux…
“Because you don’t have to be the product”
“No overlords”
“What spying?”
“Infinitely extendable”
Which one do you like best?
Because it’s your computer
Linux: you’ve been using it for years and don’t even know it
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
That’s far too long. They could try and turn it into a ditty for an advert, but it wouldn’t look great on their merch.
Linux: it ain’t Windows.
“Maybe she was born with it. Maybe it’s Linux, G”
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”
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?
It’s yours.
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
Your hardware Your choice Your style
Replace OS before they replace you. Linux - the last adventure.
Your computer needs a dose of FREEEEEEDOM
This seems to imply that Linux makes your computer produce oil
