Linux

Sovereign Computing

Live, Laugh, Linux

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

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

Because it's your computer

Think ~~Different~~ Freely.

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

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.

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.

Arch, btw.

Forget the hardware

YOU deserve better

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

Tailored for You, By You

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

Be Your Own Tech Support

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

You can fix it, really. :)

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

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.

Linux/GNU: We put GNU where it belongs.

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?
