I think this tax on tech illiterate people is getting too high. Should I start selling USB drives for $5? I don't wanna encourage Windows. But I feel bad for the normies. $211 is insane. MS literally allows massgrav on GitHub. They have for years. They do not give a fuck. Paying for windows at this point is a normie tax. And it's gotten too damn high! permalink fedilink source parent [–] TabbsTheBat@pawb.social 8 points 2 years ago When I was getting my PC they tried to upsell me for a 250€ windows license even if I insisted I didn't need one x3 permalink fedilink source parent [–] thingAmaBob@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago It’s even more wild because a few years ago, buying the OS on its own was half that price. permalink fedilink source parent [–] tostiman@sh.itjust.works 25 points 2 years ago (1 child) It's 60€ in my region. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] red_bull_of_juarez@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 2 years ago The German store doesn't offer Fedora, but also gives 60 Euro off if you order no OS. I tried X1 Gen 10 and 13. permalink fedilink source parent [–] limerod@reddthat.com 10 points 2 years ago Wait, I had to do a double take. I thought they were charging $200 extra for Fedora and Ubuntu. They could consider sending some money to those distros for development which would still be cheaper than buying windows. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Ulrich@feddit.org 7 points 2 years ago I hope more OEMs start showing the price like this during configuration. People would probably think A LOT harder about using Windows if they were offered a $200 discount for trying something else... permalink fedilink source parent [–] Bat@programming.dev 5 points 2 years ago (1 child) "By Grabthar's hammer... what a savings" permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] dethedrus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 years ago He fit so much disgust and defeat into the delivery of that line.
