Would you pay for a consumer grade supported Linux distro at a price of 4.99$???

With support.

>>51778279

no

but for $5 my mom will pay for an app that reminds her to change her drapes every other week
>>
>>51778279
>with support
Yes, $5 would already be worth it.

>consumer grade supported Linux distro
Does this mean most 3rd party applications that currently only work on Windows and OSX would work on it? I'd pay much, much more than $5 in that case.

No because I'm not mentally retarded.
>>
>with support

Yes, that way I don't have to browse forums full of smelly retarded Linux users, I can actually talk to a professional.
>>
>>51778279
>paying for consumer support
No because I know how to use a computer.

Red hat was eighty fucking dollars back in the 90s. How much is it now?
>>
I've already spent more than that donating to Linux Mint and Debian. The difference, though, is that I spent that money after several years of using Linux as my laptop OS and a full year of using it as my desktop OS.

So, no, I wouldn't pay $4.99 for some shit I haven't tried yet.

>>51778372

Money back guarauntee? lol

What the fuck do you need support for.
Inb4 man pages

My only beef with most Linux distros is driver problems. I suppose I would pay $5 for a Linux distro without driver problems, that isn't Ubuntu.

Write your own drivers?

>>51778383

Not that support. Support in like when some shit does not work to get it working.

>>51778279
no but I might buy a $50 CD after enjoying the OS for several years
>>
>>51778279
Isn't that the thought of ubuntu? you can pay canonical for support I think
>>
>>51778279
i don't need support, but i'd probably pay for a desktop that works as well as windows does out of the box
>>
>>51778581

Thats the spirit. Thats what im aiming at.
>>
>>51778325
Such this.
>>
>>51778279
no.

i already know how to fix my shit using search engines.
>>
>>51778279
No. I already have a consumer-grade, supported distro for $0.

But I would probably for what >>51778312 or >>51778403 describe.

>>51778581
That would be a step down from what I currently enjoy.
