Comment on Microsoft ends free upgrade from Windows 7 to 11
phillaholic@lemm.ee 11 months agoI don’t see how that’s true. Windows is a more widely used Desktop OS, and Linux has way more variation in running software be it package managers, desktop experiences, etc. Even things like what version you started with may influence the version of a package you have. The odds of finding an identical setup is a lot lower.

I’m just speaking from experience - which of course is influenced by how much I am willing to pay for a solution, which is nothing. For the most part, people offering solutions for windows expect to be paid, while Linux gurus are more likely to do it for free

Software wise that’s absolutely true for MacOS, but Windows has plenty of free and open source software.
