Yeah, absolutely. Pretty much all of my devices are on some variant of Debian, but that’s not always feasable for some folks, so with that method, at least you’re not paying Microsoft through the nose for the privilege of harvesting your data.
I’m pretty sure for most people the OS choice isn’t about avoiding to pay, Linux simply is better. I also wouldn’t switch to Windows if I got paid 200€.
Get the laptop without an OS
Install a trial copy of windows
Go to massgrave.dev.
That’s really cool, but the Spyware and AI bloat is still an issue
