Only if you compare computers that come preinstalled with Windows, operated by users that are already familiar with Windows.
A non-technical user is completely out of their element trying to install Windows, and a computer that comes preinstalled with Linux is easier to use than a Windows PC (no driver installation necessary, no hunting for software on the internet among spam links and ads, preinstalled software for most every-day tasks).
The short answer is: Yes, they can still monetize what you posted, and there’s nothing you can do about it.
(And no, the GDPR doesn’t apply, they can just strip away the associated username and IP address)
It’s not gay if you keep the SOCKS on.
Wait, I thought all countries followed US laws???
Why not USB?
Most “highly advanced” usage of Excel would be better done with a proper database software.
But not the one we need right now.
Cause it’s brown.

SoftMaker Office is the best alternative, but most people don’t consider it, because the full version costs money.

If you had to pay all of the cost associated with car travel, you’d still like it more, but you wouldn’t think it is worth that amount of money.
Truth is, cars are heavily subsidized.
We should also put all of the societal cost of car ownership and usage on car owners, then. No more subsidizing cars.
But at that point, car ownership becomes so expensive that only the rich can afford it. Which means they get to zoom around on largely uncongested roads while everyone else can’t.
And that doesn’t sit well with me, therefore I’m for a blanket ban.
Privately owned cars should be banned.
Why should I take over the world?
I’d bring ripped jeans and a Nirvana t-shirt with an unbuttoned flannel shirt on top and chill for a couple years until everything turns to shit again.
If your provider keeps changing your ipv6 prefix, then you still need dyndns.
With a static prefix, you don’t.
I fail to see how (again, I’m talking about people new to computers, not people already used to Windows).
You have office, a browser, a mail program, music player, etc. preinstalled, automatic updates, and an app store (usually named “software”) with a search function and a friendly “install” button to look for more software.
Printers are installed automatically when you’re in the same network or connect them via USB.
If you plug in your phone or an USB stick, it shows up in the file manager.
