I though of:

Your hardware deserves better.

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

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

[-] mub@lemmy.ml 10 points 2 years 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 11 points 2 years ago

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

[-] BrianTheeBiscuiteer@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago

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."

[-] neidu3@sh.itjust.works 14 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

"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."

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

[-] bigbuckalex@lemmy.zip 9 points 2 years 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!

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.
