I saw this post and wanted to ask the opposite. What are some items that really aren’t worth paying the expensive version for? Preferably more extreme or unexpected examples.

    Linux is not free. I already work full time job, and unlike maintaining and endlessly diagnosing countless issues that I don’t experience on Windows, my actual job gives me a paycheck every week.

      Issues like what? Did you ever try Linux recently or are you just repeating the same years-old info? Or do you just have an nvidia card lol

      “So Linux is free and doesn’t waste any more time than the alternative” at 8:13.

      Linux will install faster than Windows, installing applications will be faster than Windows (because of the builtin graphical app manager, which unlike the Microsoft Store has most everything you want), and most of those burn all your time common bugs are fixed now. I have a computer running Fedora Silverblue, which I’ve done less than an hour of configuration with, and it’s had no issues playing videogames, doing blender, web browsing, or any of the other normal things.
