      Some time ago i checked some polish stores to compare W11 vs Linux / no OS prices and i found out that the difference isn’t flat and it’s actually about ~10% of product price (so the more expensive the notebook is - the higher the price of W11 is)

      When https://massgrave.dev/ exists it’s even worse.

      I think this tax on tech illiterate people is getting too high.

      Should I start selling USB drives for $5? I don’t wanna encourage Windows. But I feel bad for the normies. $211 is insane.

      MS literally allows massgrav on GitHub. They have for years. They do not give a fuck.

      Paying for windows at this point is a normie tax. And it’s gotten too damn high!
