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.

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.
Because it's your computer
If you don't read the man pages, we're going to ban you from the chat.
Forget the hardware
YOU deserve better
"Better learn to use the command line, kid"
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.
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: "Freedom and innovation for all"
It's pretty difficult to have a slogan when the price tag is reason enough to download it
“Capitalism kills”
Build a Legacy, not a Lock-In
Linux: you've been using it for years and don't even know it
Tailored for You, By You
You can fix it, really. :)
Be Your Own Tech Support
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.
I'd copy you and drop the hardware. Just: you deserve better
Think ~~Different~~ Freely.
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.
Take your digital freedom back!
Probably thing valve does where all the other players in the market are so shit, you doing very little garners huge public support.
Its (windows)10'oclock. Do you recall where your screenshots are?
The penguin is merciful.
