What advertising slogan would you give for Linux?

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

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

more seriously maybe "Software it your own way"

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.

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

It is in fact GNU/Linux.

"It's terminal"

Its not windows

Join a Movement, not a Marketplace

Hurts So Good

It's a headache but it's your headache.

Free as in beer

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

"Own your computer" and "Free your computer"

The least annoying launcher for your web browser

"We hope you like config files"

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

Have it your* way.

*your way may involve several hours of configuration

Own your Computer

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."

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

Batman runs Linux. Shouldn't you?

Buy it, own it.

Sovereign Computing

Live, Laugh, Linux

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

It’s yours.

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!

Wobbly Windows in a Windows-less World

Do it yourself

"Better learn to use the command line, kid"

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.

Forget the hardware

YOU deserve better

Because it's your computer

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.

Think Different Freely.

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

Arch, btw.

Build a Legacy, not a Lock-In

Linux: "Freedom and innovation for all"

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

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

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

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

You can fix it, really. :)

Be Your Own Tech Support

Tailored for You, By You

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

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

Your computer needs a dose of FREEEEEEDOM

Take your digital freedom back!

RTFW

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?

"Linux...

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

"No overlords"

"What spying?"

"Infinitely extendable"

Which one do you like best?

Linux/GNU: We put GNU where it belongs.

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

At least it's not Windows?

Your hardware Your choice Your style

The penguin is merciful.

Linux: it ain't Windows.

Can’t believe it’s not Windows.

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

The ultimate protection for your truck

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

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

From Hobby to Hero: Linux Powers the Curious

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

Linux: We never would have given you Klippy.

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.

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

Virtue by default, Linux.

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

more powerful than a speeding loco motive

improvements over the competition are black and white... and a little yellow.

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

"Be free"

For the Mavericks and Makers

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

Linux: The home for Windows and MacOS refugees.

Choose your starting level!

Leave us alone, we don't need more users

Switch to linux and your kids is call

"Good luck with those drivers, bud!"

Lie to your (insert relative here) that Linux is faster and you install SSD to their computer with a penguin on it.
