“I think that something has to be cheaper or have a different business model” doesn’t give me rights to steal it.

Sure, but that doesn’t give you rights to pirate their music, does it? There is also the problem who gets paid what when you buy their merch.
You realize that bands have by their choice a contract with a label which in turn provides services to them (bands without a label don’t count since they would sell their music themselves)? If the band sells their music directly is one thing, but what you’re suggesting is simply wrong. Also donations are not meant as a mean of purchasing stuff. 🤷♂️
Pirate and pay creators directly.
How does that even work?
My bad, used the wrong word there. I meant that Windows is very compatible with older versions and different flavors.
I think I’m cautious enough to not have the experience, luckily. But why does that matter? I’m still waiting from you for rationale why is Linux experiencing less infections. And you keep asking unimportant questions…

Servers are a different story. I’m both Windows and Linux user, meaning more towards the later recently. I’m still wondering why do you think Linux is more resistant to malware - besides the incompatibility (mentioned in other reply here). Your experience doesn’t tell much about why and I wrote my theory.
Ha, yes, incompatibility is the secret defense of linux 🫣. But even without root access, malware can create a lot of damage.
You sure though? Windows has more viruses because it’s more popular (desktop) and monolithic, not because Linux is much better in that regard. IOW Linux is not magically virus resistant. If you run an infected file, it will infect both without much trouble. Also removing infection would be similar. At least that’s my understanding.

And that arms embargo, Slovenia doesn’t even know what transits through. We also don’t want anything with lawsuits against genocide. Yes, it’s a step or two in the right direction but far away from something big.

Call it whatever you want, you don’t have rights to get it unless its through a legal way.
