Microsoft might want to be making Windows 12 a subscription OS, suggests leak - SDF Chatter

I’d rather subscribe to windows than troubleshooting linux
You don’t need to troubleshoot Linux any more than Windows these days. Especially if you get your machine from a Linux-friendly supplier.
Who and where are these Linux-friendly suppliers? This is already more complicated than windows bud
debian ubuntu fedora…
ive heard fedora was bought by ibm or something now they go close source? ubuntu goes bad too with snaps? debian not for beginners i think and how old does it get? I want stability subscribing is way easier im not 15 anymore

Red Hat is owned by IBM but that’s more geared toward enterprise.

Fedora is open source.
