From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I wonder how many would just do it for the extra discount and then use massgrave
Edit:
I went to watch their prices for the diy series
(Preinstalled, is +220 € for win 11 pro or free Ubuntu, can't get win home edition if preinstalled)
Even if you want Windows, it's still better to get that edition that works just the same but has most of the bloat cut off, that they made for small business computers.
If you don't join a domain, win11 pro will automatically install all the sponsored stuff exactly like win11 home at first login. There's no difference in the two editions except only the pro can join a domain. Exactly same level of bloat, even if it's more expensive
There are some other features only in pro, like Hyper-V for instance.
Ah right
