TFA is talking about the insane savings but... Really the one thing that sets Linux apart from Windows is how usable a PC becomes once you remove that piece-o-shit that Windows is and put Linux on it instead.

I had one laptop with Windows here (which I bought from a friend as part of package of used things he wasn't using anymore, including a NUC, that laptop, etc.). I hadn't bothered to install Linux on it.

Oh the pain. It's not a powerful laptop and it was barely usable: endless updates and many things were really slow, like simply trying to turn it off. Everytime I'd shut it down, Windows would slow everything to a crawl.

I'd surf the web and the thing would start swapping like mad: making it barely usable.

As everything in the house is either Linux (countless Pi, servers, desktop PCs for the wife, the kid and me, etc.) or Mac (iOS for the iPad, OS X for an older Mac and MacOS for a M4 Mini), I could compare with that one Windows.

Windows is a piece of turd.

After way too long, my patience ran out. I dd'ed a Linux .iso to a USB stick and wiped out Windows and installed Linux instead.

The multifunction Brother printer+scanner required some Linux package from Brother to work, which was the only non-automated part.

Everything else just worked immediately.

And, surprise, it's actually a usable laptop (a little Lenovo laptop).

People complaining about "high DPI" support or "scanner support" etc. being "too complicated" under Linux and preferring to hence stay victims to Microsoft's mediocre products really don't know what they are missing.

I'm using Linux since the early Slackware days. Since then Linux only ever got easier to use while Windows, which was already a piece of turd (and, yes, I've used both XP and 2000 etc., the supposedly "good" Windows), only got lamer and lamer.

As TFA (well "TFV": the effin' vid) posted by Bender says:

You need to stop using Windows
