Is there ever a situation where you might actually want to pay for Free
Software?
 
Yes, there is. Remember, Free Software is about the freedom do do things
your own way. That includes spending your money the way you choose, not
the way somebody else forces you to do.

Good article.

I have a monthly recurring donation set up for Linux Mint.  I _really_ want
them to keep it going.

ObWindows:  I use a libvirt qemu virtual machine on Mint to run
Windows Pro 11 for Workstations.

To set up a virtual machine, run virt-manager and have at it. :)
