Linux has no problem supporting pretty much every PC hardware ever made, any filesystem, etc. So while it might reduce their costs, they are hedging customers every generation
Linux Foundation doesn’t “support” anything in the sense met above. They do not provide antivirus updates, or a help line, or consultation services. They are not responsible in any way if every device running linux gets hacked. It’s simply not their problem — but it is Microsoft’s.
