I have to disagree, Windows is never free, they sell all your data even when you buy it. Use Linux.
Linux isn't free because it uses your electricity
Well... Unless you hook it up to your neighbors outlet...
That doesn't make it free. Somebody else is paying.
Oh, like online piracy. Got it! 🤣
Nope. If the product is finished and you make a copy, nobody else is paying.
If you go to the store (90s style) and steal a copy, that's a whole different thing.
Go to rental place in the 90's/2000's
Rent things
Copy things
Return original - No harm | Return copy - ???
Netflix DVD service is missed.
Uhmm its free for you... This is a piracy sub. Someone is always paying for something.
True, Linux isn't free because it uses electricity. It's free because it's licensed under the GNU General Public License which is designed to defend the freedom of its users.
What? You don't say.
Those sneaky bastards.
Technically.... it's the hardware on your PC using all the electricity.
Yeah but it's the software that told it to do it.
Not initially, it's an on off switch... technically.
At some point it was a twinkle in Charles Babbage's eyes 👀:-D.
Except you can simply debloat and disable everything with a single script. Linuxbros are the biggest misinformation spreaders around windows.
