Does anybody know if when using Windows on a computer but not paying for anything windows related: is windows/ Bill Gates profiting from it? Is it worth installing linux as a protest?

True. It came pre installed on my PC I bought 4 years ago. But yeah, you're correct. This is the reason to why I was questioning the decision to install Linux. But I think I will install Linux anyway.
