Does anybody know if when using Windows on a computer but not paying for anything windows related: is windows/ Bill Gates profiting from it? Is it worth installing linux as a protest?

    i just installed mint on my laptop and it runs way better than it ever ran with windows 11 plus it’s super user friendly :)

        Good thing is that mint is based on Ubuntu so you should already be familiar too :)

        I wouldn’t advise on Ubuntu, in the later years it has become more and more closed source and the company rep is in shambles. Go with LMDE -> Linux Mint Debian edition
