      you’re right, and - to your point - Linux vs. Windows poses some potential challenges for some organizations who still cling to the hope that they’ll still hold onto control of anything an a year or two.

      on linux, you can access all microsoft office apps for free by using your browser (which is what will totally replace the shit you own in a few years anyway).

      so, please tell me why you pay for ads on your OS?

          hard to have a conversation with someone who just downvotes shit they don’t think they agree with, but whatever. everything’s a fucking popularity contest now.

            I downvoted you because of this:

            so, please tell me why you pay for ads on your OS?

            This is garbage. This isn’t true. It’s spreading BS. Perfect use of the downvote button.
