You have to be kidding me.  This is what dumbasses running Win11 are
paying good money to obtain?  And Linux is *free*?  How is that
reality, where the free product is the only one worth using?  What era
is this, FFS?  Fuck M$ and Apple too, their hardware is overpriced but
required to use their OS.  Linux is the only option, for someone with
sanity.

  No, I did the correct thing, this article and my commentary was
relevant to Windows 11 and to Linux advocacy, you can take your wise-
ass attitude out the door.
 

You did not do the right thing. I use linux myself. There is no need to denigrate those who use other operating systems. Your response was childish and conceited.
