Yeah and? Debian is free, you can just upgrade to the newer version without paying a thing.

And upgrades tend to be pretty stable. You can still use whatever UX you were used to before, since packages tend to stick around quite a bit.

The issue with Win 11 is that it drastically changes hardware requirements and UX. That's not an issue for Debian.

And because linux is 99% just the programs you install on it when you do upgrade to a new version you aren't being forced into a new system. This is why distro wars are pointless.

You can also upgrade from Windows 10 to 11 for free.

No, actually, extra ads begging me to subscribe to my own computer are a cost.

would you like to explain to me how i install a tpm 2.0 module into my hardware for free exactly?

I cannot use my win11 laptop because they removed the language bar and switching keyboard layout is impossible. Unfortunately it's something that I do on the regular since programming in my native layout is really difficult hunting down alt+some numbers for the {} and I need letters with accents like žšć when I write something
