Well, you actually own it for one, given Linux is an open platform, you’re generally not at some corporation’s will unlike with closed platforms like Windows or even macOS, you’re also not arbitrarily locked out of running it on hardware made before a certain date unlike with Win11; as long as the kernel supports it, it should run on your hardware, where Windows arbitrarily locks out anything older than Zen+ or Kaby Lake without a modded install medium starting with Win11, and it generally uses less resources than Windows nowadays although that varies based on configuration.
