The best one I’ve ever heard is they like the Microsoft wallpapers. Yes i told them you can use them on linux too. But they argued with me that they wouldn’t be compatible.

    My friend said they didnt want to try linux on their laptop because they wanted to buy a new laptop.

    I wish I had that problem, I’d jump at the chance to save $2000 and preserve my current device by switching to a free operating system.

      Is there some agency out there that I am not aware of that stops you from buying new hardware if you are a Linux user?

      One of my favourite things about Linux is that it runs so well on old hardware. I have some pretty old kit that still serves me well.

      Bit it runs even better on more powerful hardware. No reason not to upgrade if you have the means.
