    Imagine paying for Windows. What a waste of money.

        Oh no, the manufacturer of any computer with a windows license paid for it and passed that cost to you. You paid for it.

          No, you download it for free from Microsoft. No need to buy a pre built machine.

          I’m the manufacturer of all of my computers though? So there’s no cost? I don’t know what you’re getting at.

            Are you using Windows without a license? Is that still possible these days?

            edit ah, activator and debloater. Isn’t that somewhat close to pirating it, though?

            I’m more talking about laptops, you can use it without paying for it on a device you build yourself, albeit with some functionality restricted.

          Microsoft doesn’t serve you anything and doesn’t collect anything.

          I’m never touching Windows 11, but it’s… free. I’ve installed it on computers for folks upon request. You just use an activator and debloater.

        It literally isn’t.

        Even if you pirate it, you still pay with the immense amount of data they take, even if you opt out of a bunch of it (which you can only do temporarily anyway).

          They don’t take any data, that’s a myth.

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.
