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"
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.
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

"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."

"We hope you like config files"
"I heard you like files... Everything is a file."
Plan9 would have some opinions about that.
Own your Computer
"Own your computer" and "Free your computer"
The least annoying launcher for your web browser
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."
Batman runs Linux. Shouldn't you?
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.

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.
Rules
- Posts must be relevant to operating systems running the Linux kernel. GNU/Linux or otherwise.
- No misinformation
- No NSFW content
- No hate speech, bigotry, etc
