I saw this post and wanted to ask the opposite. What are some items that really aren't worth paying the expensive version for? Preferably more extreme or unexpected examples.

Not 100% compatible with everything i use. I understand that advice works for most though. Or Iโ€™ve been told that at least.

What isn't it compatible with? All these people making baseless complaints about Linux driving me crazy. Most people are just too lazy to Google an error code. I'm convinced there are hidden Windows shills in the fediverse like undercover Russian spys.

If I have to google an error code the OS already fucked up.

No, buying used chromebooks from sketchy Craigslist ads with the pickup location being a van down by the river is actually cheaper and easier.
