I though of:
Your hardware deserves better.
Also you can give some more realistic ones like my friend:
It just (not) works
Linux: “Freedom and innovation for all”
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.
“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:
- Not supported hardware by manufacturer
- Nvidia Drivers with Wayland
And good news, Nvidia seems to have more or less fixed the second one a few months ago.
It just works (on my machine)
ftfy
Plural.
Can’t be arsed fixing that for you.
Linux: you’ve been using it for years and don’t even know it
“We hope you like config files”
“I heard you like files… Everything is a file.”
Free as in beer
That is more like a general FOSS than Linux
Or
Free as in work after hours
Free as in puppy
Like some kind of prostitute lover.
Okay I will switch, please leave us in peace penguinlord
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
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.
At least it’s not Windows?
If you don’t read the man pages, we’re going to ban you from the chat.
“Good luck with those drivers, bud!”
improvements over the competition are black and white… and a little yellow.
Does Linux have competition? But I get your idea.
Its (windows)10’oclock. Do you recall where your screenshots are?
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
“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.
So, RTFM?
Yes but more polite
PRTFM
