I though of:
Your hardware deserves better.
Also you can give some more realistic ones like my friend:
It just (not) works
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
Fun facts:
- The backend of Microsoft’s biggest money maker Azure runs on Linux: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/microsoft-showcases-the-azure-cloud-switch-acs/
- The most-used OS inside Azure is Linux: https://thenewstack.io/microsoft-linux-is-the-top-operating-system-on-azure-today/
- Microsoft is the second biggest contributor to open source software: https://opensourceindex.io/
- Microsoft has published their own Linux distro: https://github.com/microsoft/azurelinux
- Microsoft has published a support page on how to install Linux: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/linux/install
The OS wars are over, and Linux won.
In the server world, yes. The desktop is the place that needs to be won over.
- ‘You can keep your old hardware, we won’t force you to upgrade.’
- ‘Your old GPU, yes, even your R9 Fury, still has a home here, don’t worry, we won’t leave you out in the cold unlike our competition.’
…Among other jabs at Windows in the spirit of the old Mac vs. PC ads, or to be more apt, in the spirit of Sega’s old ads picking on Nintendo in the '90s.
Also…
- ‘Linux does! What Windon’t.’
more powerful than a speeding loco motive
Have it your* way.
*your way may involve several hours of configuration
Your hardware Your choice Your style
Replace OS before they replace you. Linux - the last adventure.
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!
Batman runs Linux. Shouldn’t you?
“Better learn to use the command line, kid”
Your computer needs a dose of FREEEEEEDOM
Join a Movement, not a Marketplace
“Own your computer” and “Free your computer”
Linux, when you want to tell the computer to shut the fuck up and just do it’s job.
