Does anybody know if when using Windows on a computer but not paying for anything windows related: is windows/ Bill Gates profiting from it? Is it worth installing linux as a protest?

A virtual machine running Windows will act exactly like a bare metal machine, with all the telemetry and advertising and such.
In any case, it at least won’t touch anything outside the vm.
That would depend on how directory and clipboard sharing are configured. There are some potential problems if the user is looking to share files between the VM and the host.
