What’s up with all the anti Windows 7 posts lately?

I switched from Gentoo to Windows 7 Platinum a few weeks ago, and I haven’t had a single issue so far.

It’s noticeably faster than any DE or WM I’ve tried, which honestly surprised me, especially considering I’m running an RTX 5090.

At first, I was worried about security and getting hacked. But it turns out I can install a fully up to date browser and a modern firewall, so that’s no longer a concern.

It’s also much easier to use overall. The UI is consistent, clear, and easy to read. Because of that, I installed it on my girlfriend’s laptop and my parents’ PC as well and they’re really happy with it.

I genuinely don’t understand why some people are so strongly opposed to it, especially considering the massive influx of AI generated packages Linux distros have seen in recent months.

It kinda is, I mean aero is beautiful, and 7 is a lightweight compared to newer versions, you really do see how many system resources it takes to draw all this bullshit, maybe that's me getting older but that's how it goes, I should've just rocked the classic theme in my teens through 20s, I lived and learned.
>>
>>107640393
aero plays an important role in the readibility of the user interface, it's design to naturally guide you and be clear and quick to parse
the flat 90's UI might be more utilitarian but there is a balance to be struck between form and function, and if you want to appeal to as many people as possible, this balance is critical

I want to recreate 2004 with AI and bots.
Full on FF XI Chains of Promathia private server that I can drop into any time with thousands of autonomous bots that have memories and goals, inviting me for dunes parties and chatting shit to me in my linkshell.
All of them would use era appropriate memes and we'd shitpost about dubya.

Yeah, we're talking about an expansion of stuff like the WoW SPP or mangosbots projects. Don't even fucking try to tell me this is a bad idea or that I need to get on board with the latest horizon / spicyryan / pserv drama. Fuck that. I want what I want and it sound cool as fuck. I would literally build out a server in my home to run this. It would be just for me and maybe a friend or two.
If you don't think that idea is cool then you're probably gay or have brain problems.

2000's gaming can be made rad again with AI. We can recapture the magic, but no. The bots won't do the farming for me. I want to feel that drop rate.

intel can benefit from the additional bandwidth, in some cases

From my own personal usage, Gemini 3 Fast is the best model in terms of speed, usage, and capability. Gemini 3 Fast > Gemini 3 Pro > Claude > Open AI 5 > Grok 4.1

Ofc this changes once each company releases new models. I only use their main web chat ui. However Claude's artifact and multiple revisions seems to also get job done. So if had claude's artifact revision system for other tools, I think other tools would be much better.

Flash is distilled Gemini 3 to fit a size. It's not bad but for coding, Opus 4.5 still takes the cake in capability. The main issue as always is cost to use and even if Opus 4.5 and later models starting next year could replace engineers, I don't think over the long term it is sustainable because training runs are just costing more and more to do. Even Google's pricing now is out of control even though they control costs the best with custom software and hardware. Compare pic related and https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/gemini-3 for Flash usage prices. They literally 10x and you can't use the older models anymore.
>>
>>107640490
>is distilled
Nope. Fast is RL trained and is not a distilled model. Dev specifically said it on X in response to the claim that their Fast model is better than Pro model. They had trained Gemini 3 Pro earlier so it wasn't trained with newer RL methods and their Fast version trained with RL.

The only thing a gamer really needs to upgrade every few years these days is the GPU. Starting in the DX9 era games scaled better, not requiring the latest GPU every year, as long as you stay at 1080p.

2001 - GF3 Ti200

ITT we share helpful firefox user_prefs that make it better. I'll start.

user_pref("full-screen-api.transition-duration.enter", "0 0");
user_pref("full-screen-api.transition-duration.leave", "0 0");
user_pref("full-screen-api.warning.timeout", 0);

This removes the annoying banner saying press ESC to exit fullscreen every time you fullscreen a yt video.

user_pref("media.videocontrols.picture-in-picture.video-toggle.has-used", true);
user_pref("browser.engagement.downloads-button.has-used", true);

With this in your user.js before you open the browser it won't popup instructions on obvious features. I have a pretty big user.js based on betterfox that disables telemetry and toggles all the settings the way I like them so it's completely configured on install without doing anything, and then I've added a bunch of minor quality of life conveniences like these. Share yours anons.

Kega Fusion works as far back as Windows 98.

Any version of Windows since 1995 has been more polished, production-ready and user-friendly than any Linux distro ever made. That's obvious to anybody who has installed both of them on the same machine.

Are Linux users just lying about their distros being a better experience than a Windows installation?
