    Oh no, the manufacturer of any computer with a windows license paid for it and passed that cost to you. You paid for it.

      No, you download it for free from Microsoft. No need to buy a pre built machine.

      I’m the manufacturer of all of my computers though? So there’s no cost? I don’t know what you’re getting at.

        Are you using Windows without a license? Is that still possible these days?

        edit ah, activator and debloater. Isn’t that somewhat close to pirating it, though?

        I’m more talking about laptops, you can use it without paying for it on a device you build yourself, albeit with some functionality restricted.

          There’s no restrictions, though!

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
