what do we think about bespoke in-universe slang?

this post is more targeted at marketing linux to novice/intermediate computer users- not those who are comfortable building binaries -though i do absolutely recognise the freedom of being able to do so! :neocat_floof_happy:
that actually kind of addresses one of my favourite things about the linux/unix/bsd ecosystem- its flexibility!
whether you're a casual web browser, a gamer, a developer, [proud hannah montana enjoyer](https://archiveos.org/hannah-montana/), or just a hobbyist, there's bound to be a distribution for you! :neocat_thumbsup:

just had an interesting thought
what if we've (we as in everyone who's ever used it) been marketing linux to others wrong this whole time?
so, so often do i hear people say "if you're coming from windows, use this." "if you're coming from macOS, use that"
the last time i told someone the fediverse "is like twitter/tumblr but anyone can host their own", i genuinely got *laughter* as a response- frankly i don't blame them!
perhaps we should be marketing not from a point of comparison, but purely by the platform's merits: for fedi, i now tell people "it's social media where you can sign up with whichever the hell site you want and use whatever the hell app you want". and as a bonus for some; "there's lots of queer nerds nerding around queerly"
as an exercise, i'm curious! for your linux distro (or even just desktop environment) of choice, what do you love most about it? what's some part (or parts) of it you think others would really enjoy?

i'm running void + wayland on an nvidia gpu, so that's probably a big source of my issues rn :neocat_melt_3:

while windows flaws are certainly more infuriating because there's often nothing you can do about it (looking at you, audio crackle on discord screenshare :middleFingerCat:), on the linux side you often have *far more* issues than on windows.
you have far more agency to tackle linux issues, for sure! but thanks to lack of support from proprietary vendors and the fragmentation of the ecosystem (i love flatpaks but they're not a silver bullet) you're bound to run into a lengthy troubleshooting session on the regular
