Was das eigentlich passiert? Ich dachte, die kostenlose Download-Option ist schon vor 2015 abgelaufen.

No, I prefer Linux.
No, I prefer Mac.
No, I like Linux and dislike Mac.

The free version stopped working in 2018, but upgrading to Windows 10 with the image should fix it without requiring a license. I also upgraded two friends' laptops without a license and it functioned properly.

I don't really enjoy Windows 10, but I haven't discovered another operating system to swap it for yet. It's not MacOS, and it definitely isn't Linux. Most desktop users are using around 99.9% of their systems. The next best alternative that offers good linear mouse customization like Windows without needing command-line tricks will definitely catch my interest. Or maybe if a desktop OS could run smoothly on a touchscreen (keeping the keyboard but replacing the mouse), that could rekindle my curiosity.

That's a common question about Linux! Many distributions cater to a wide range of users, so it's likely that a significant portion of them are relevant to you.

False information. Windows 7 and 8 function adequately with modern hardware (many manufacturers still provide drivers), and Windows 7 gets security patches until 2020—still two years away. Windows 8 continues to receive updates until 2023. Even after updates cease for Windows 7, it operates smoothly on new systems.

Looking for Linux distros with a built-in mouse setting that lets you switch to linear mode and fine-tune speed without needing complex tweaks. I'm specifically after something straightforward like Windows' default when the "enhance pointer precision" option is off. The two controls in Ubuntu aren't labeled clearly, so I'm not sure what they are.

I prefer Windows and Ubuntu over ChromeOS. While I understand the appeal of ChromeOS, I truly enjoy Ubuntu—especially Kubuntu, Ubuntu MATE, and Ubuntu Unity.

Linux from start to finish. ChromeOS requires adjustments to resemble a true Linux system, which means unlocking the bootloader and installing a Linux distribution directly on it, even though it runs on Linux internally.

I run Ubuntu 18.04 on my gaming machine. After finishing Witcher 3, I completely removed Windows. Since other games work well with Linux, I made the switch easily. Now my PC runs smoothly without any spyware or Cortana.
