Is Linux perfect? Absolutely not and I have never made that claim.
My point was merely that Windows users are bombarded with popups from the start and Microsoft are only going to get more aggressive with their monetisation practices.
Im annoyed about stuff all the time on Linux but rarely do I feel the seething rage I get when Windows tries to push ads on me. On an OS I fucking paid for.
The performers time is not infinitely reproducible so your argument is apples to oranges.
