fdisk is definitely not leaving anything to the imagination.
I hope more hardware manufactures offer to ship without a windows license. It is cheaper for everyone and people have less hassle installing an OS of their choice on the device.
If the operating system is FOSS, I’d be willing to pay 50% the cost of a Windows license but to the FOSS maintainers and the upstream distros they rely on. Gotta close the causal loop.
I saved around 100€ on my laptop by requesting the FreeDOS model, the option still exists
What laptop?
That’s super-interesting! Could you share some details?
Some retailers give the option to have no OS installed and with a Windows key, I bought the device when I started switching to Linux and installed a windows partition without activation key. Eventually, I deleted the windows partition as I didn’t use it
I’m pretty sure that Microsoft pays OEMs for having Windows pre installed just like any other adware.
oh, how times have changed, I remember nearly every budget to mid-range laptop being offered with DOS as a cost-saving measure
Why did you choose to depict Win as a cute green brick?
It’s a normal image macro meme that op just added text to.
You can’t use macro meme for micro soft products!
I think it fits. It’s about as agile as a brick, and Microsoft tries really hard to make it look friendly and approachable.
I do think it would be more difficult ting if it was a sinister tetrahedron, the most evil of shapes.
tetrahedron
Pathetic. Octahedron is somewhat disturbing, ok, agree. But tetrahedron? Pffft…
Well played. You win. This round.
Global Tetrahedron was born of the shadows, and it is committed to control in all its forms.
Committed to the conquest of mortality since its foundation in 1634.
Providing strategic counsel for top human-trafficking enterprises, large-scale embezzlement services, and covert assassination requests.
We are pragmatic, focused, bloodthirsty, and fanatical.
I can think of no better company to ensure the factual and unbiased news reporting of America’s finest news source.
But that’s a dodecahedron…
