From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Anecdotes aren't data. It's not difficult to find comparative pricing information. I think you would generally find this is untrue, though it's worth considering regional pricing.
EULA violation. This one is cut and dry. You could have made a better point about the state of ROCm (narrow product and platform support, poor documentation, library gaps in HIP).
Look at the state of ANV for Arc dGPU on Linux.
