    I have never paid for windows in the 30 years I’ve been building and using PCs. It just never felt worth it. I have however happily donated to the dev team of each linux distro I’ve used for as long as I used it. Right now that means a hundred bucks a year to Glorious Eggroll. I’ve already spent more on Nobara than a windows key would cost me and I don’t regret it one bit.

      I paid 3€ for a Windows7 licence from eBay once. Worked fine for years, until proton became good enough to finally move my gaming rig to Linux

      Thanks, greymarket OEM sellers
