“No OS” will not make it to the average internet user, which is 99% of the population. If they have to select, they will select windows. The remaining 1% will figure it out, but that 1% won’t make any impact. We need a model that would pave the way for Linux to the average internet user.
The issue is that 99% of people don’t want to install an OS, they just want to have a computer that they can use as is. I’m not saying my proposal would be ideal, but something needs to change in the current model otherwise in 10 years time we will still be whining about Microsoft’s 90% market share
Thanks for reviewing it, I will fix these tonight!
I tried to find the Windows equivalent of this to compare the prices, but they don’t make it easy…
Yeah that is good news, but as you say, it should be the standard. I’m wondering if they make any donations for Ubuntu. I know they don’t have to

The difference is that I realized that even before this hype I tended to purchase European. The only thing that I had to change is to drop Google, and now I’m in the process of dropping Windows as well. Apart from that, my household is full of things made in the EU.
Proton, for example, offers a free tier. Your storage is limited, but at least it forces you to keep your inbox tidy. Looking back at my Gmail account, hard to believe I was happy with that mess for such a long time
It a shame though that there is no good alternative that covers the entire Europe. There are some regional retailers like Alza, Allegro, but I don’t know of any tha managed to roll out in all EU countries
I get the FOMO about having their own AI, but in my books making Drive usable and having a Linux app for drive would be way higher on the priority list. Get the basics right first.
