I though of:

Your hardware deserves better.

Also you can give some more realistic ones like my friend:

Fun facts:

The OS wars are over, and Linux won.

[-] mub@lemmy.ml 9 points 3 months ago

In the server world, yes. The desktop is the place that needs to be won over.

And when you tell your OS to poweroff it... powers off. Wow.

[-] superkret@feddit.org 12 points 3 months ago

And when you tell it to suspend or hibernate, it also powers off.

"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."

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."

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.

Wobbly Windows in a Windows-less World

[-] bigbuckalex@lemmy.zip 9 points 2 months ago

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!

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

[-] Corgana@startrek.website 7 points 3 months ago

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.

[-] RogueBanana@lemmy.zip 7 points 3 months ago

Forget the hardware

YOU deserve better

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

Linux

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
