@Elizafox @lispi314 part of the whole point of using Linux on the desktop is NOT having to pay for it

to put it in the FSF's words, that it's free as in both free beer and freedom

@Elizafox @lispi314 also, getting people to pay for linux is difficult when on most x86(-64) computers Windows comes already pre-installed, so it's effectively no extra cost to use Windows from the perspective of someone buying a computer

@Elizafox @lispi314 @lightning also many people don't know what an operating system even is, or why it would be better to use something else than Windows

@LunaDragofelis @lightning @lispi314 @Elizafox my experience also tells me that people.don't care and if I as #Sysadmin go full #BenevolentDictator and force them to use a #Linux distro like #Ubuntu that doesn't impact them.since all they want it #Firefox, #Thunderbird and #LibreOffice to work.
