      So you’re telling me that someone who builds a custom PC with the intention of installing Linux will go out and buy a Windows license?

          My fervent hope is that, someday in the future, people can build a gaming PC and just forego Windows to save $100.

          That’s what you said. And I’m not even sure what you mean by “I ment who build a custom PC. That’s reality bro.”

          The reality is that a good portion of gamers either build their own systems or buy “custom built” systems from a company that builds them. It’s mainly only OEM manufacturers that include a Windows license, like HP, Lenovo, MSI, and generally laptops.

          So ultimately there’s no scenario where your comment makes sense.

            Ok maybe we have some misunderstanding here. My friend had internship in one computer store, where you could order custom built computers. The most of them were sold with windows license.

            Maybe that changed, idk. But I see that many stores sell computers with Windows installed and they are custom builds.

            I keep fingers crossed, because in past 5 years I tried to use Linux many times and it always ended with issue with graphic card drvers
