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.

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?
