I don't understand your point. You still need a fucking computer to run Linux. They don't grow on fucking trees, although perhaps in Manchester they get 'liberated' for nothing.
The point is: Linux is (largely) free, but you need a computer to run it (see above); Windows 10 will be free, although you need a computer to run it; OS X is also free, although you need a computer to run it. You may have to buy the computer first (or the parts and self-build in some cases); the PC/parts may cost money.
