what’s your thoughts on Linux and Windows…

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Though it is also true that Linux is gratis and Windows is not.
Not really:
RHEL is paid if you need more devices than the free license provides
SEL and Ubuntu Pro don't have any free licenses as far as I remember
you can mostly use windows without paying anything
It seems kind of disingenuous to compare enterprise support contracts for Linux to personal Windows licenses. Especially while also ignoring that you do pay for Windows, it's just hidden in the cost of the device.
