Only if you compare computers that come preinstalled with Windows, operated by users that are already familiar with Windows.
A non-technical user is completely out of their element trying to install Windows, and a computer that comes preinstalled with Linux is easier to use than a Windows PC (no driver installation necessary, no hunting for software on the internet among spam links and ads, preinstalled software for most every-day tasks).
The short answer is: Yes, they can still monetize what you posted, and there’s nothing you can do about it.
(And no, the GDPR doesn’t apply, they can just strip away the associated username and IP address)
It’s not gay if you keep the SOCKS on.
Can I restart my life at 6 with $10 million in Google stocks?
Lot’s of people saying that missing fonts can be an issue if you don’t specifically embed them into the PDF.
Judging by the other answers here, it doesn’t seem that straightforward.
I just make sure I don’t have any important data.
Why not USB?
For special use cases like that, dd isn’t the right tool.
There’s a reason why premium fast food has spread so much.
By the time you’ve paid your business rent, your staff and your own rent, you can’t keep prices cheap and still make money.
And at a price point that covers your expenses, people won’t buy your “cheap and simple” food.

A Clone of an OS install is not needed anymore, for a jillion reasons.
If my SSD decides to suddenly quit, I can get back all my personal files and configs, plus all the software I had installed with all configurations, configured repositories, user rights and group memberships, GUI customizations, system-wide fonts, .desktop-files, root .bashrc, self-compiled software, etc. etc. by popping in a new SSD and dding my full disk image backup to it with one terminal command.
I fail to see how that is not a nice thing to have even today, or how I would get back to the previous state just as fast without it.
Most “highly advanced” usage of Excel would be better done with a proper database software.
Neither an immutable distro nor a NAS is a replacement for backups.
Some people are lucky enough to never learn that backups are vital. Good luck to you in the future!
But not the one we need right now.
Cause it’s brown.
Imagine an image like Tank Man, or the running Vietnamese girl with napalm burns on her skin, but AI generated at the right moment.
It could change the course of nations.
You need to donate money if you expect it to do something?
I fail to see how (again, I’m talking about people new to computers, not people already used to Windows).
You have office, a browser, a mail program, music player, etc. preinstalled, automatic updates, and an app store (usually named “software”) with a search function and a friendly “install” button to look for more software.
Printers are installed automatically when you’re in the same network or connect them via USB.
If you plug in your phone or an USB stick, it shows up in the file manager.
