Comment on What’s even the appeal of Linux?

Yes. When you buy your computer, the cost of Windows is added onto the computer’s cost. Just for context, a Dell XPS 13 Laptop with Ubuntu preinstalled is £1,149.01, with Windows it’s £1,199.00. When you get the chance to have Linux preinstalled or even just have no OS pre installed, you find it’s cheaper than having Windows Preinstalled.

That’s for laptops, not desktops

It’s the same for desktops. There’s no difference between Operating systems for laptops or desktops. Your can use the same install media for both with little to no difference.

Windows does not come with a desktop, unless you’re buying pre built, in which case you don’t mind spending extra money for the same product

How many basic users do you think build their own desktops and not just buy a pre built?
This was about how many normal people buy Windows, not how many of a very small percentage/niche buy Windows. Please don’t move the goal post mid-game.
