Windows 10 will die in one week. How do you prepare /gee/?
I've been using Windows 11 Enterprise since less than a year after it released. Just run WPD and O&O like you did on Windows 10 and it just works.
>>106817824Windows 10 LTSC versions do not all have the same end-of-life date; the support duration depends on the specific LTSC release. For example, Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019 ended support on January 9, 2029, while Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021 ended on January 12, 2027, and Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2021 will continue to receive support until January 13, 2032

There is no reason to use Windows nowadays.>muhh modern gamesTHEY ARE ALL SHITJust install Linux already.

Does windows 11 require you to cut your cock off?
>>106817889Nvidia drivers are still pure diarrhea.
>>106817889seething lincuck
>>106817904One day you will learn that you don't even need a dedicated GPU nowadays.
>>106817889>you shouldn't want to do thatnever a valid argument
>>106817824prepare? more like dont care lmao
>>106817918I do though, for playing video games.
>>106817927yessss goyyy, consume moreeeee. PRAISE ISRAEL!The next Windows version will require a fucking camera turned on 24/7 and you faggots will think this is great.
>>106817946I will not install LinuxI will not buy an efficient showerheadI will not buy an electric carI will not eat the bugs
>>106817824Wow, that's like, today.
>>106817946We'll just debloat it and carry on with our lives. Only goycattle will use OEM isos
>>106817968Nobody asked, tubby.
>>106817824continues to work on my machine(tm)
>>106817824>die>no more annoying ass useless updates that I don't needWhat?
>>106817902Practically.
>>106817889>>muhh modern games>THEY ARE ALL SHITWell I mainly play Fortnite, League Of Legends and CSGO. Tried to switch to Linux and then found out I can't play any of my games. Shitty OS.
>>106817904I haven’t had a problem since the 555 release, so source?
>>106817850>you have to tinkertranny windows to make it behave as expected but still get spyware ads and copoilot reinstallsunbelievable how retarded baby ducks can be
>>106818121personal experience
>>106817968corporate shills took that "inspeak" line off mining the chans a little too seriously
>>106818143What drivers did you run?
>>106818118this is a problem of epic games and riot refusing to support linux because they want kernel level anticheat. not the problem of linuxalso cs:go plays fine on steam so you are probably just lying anyway
>>106817824by not using windows and getting comfy with linux
>>106817824I installed Linux Mint last night to dualboot with W10Pretty smooth so far, just need to get some stuff set up but pretty far everything seems to just work or only needs some slight tweaking. It's cool
>>106818157the official stable ones taken from arch linux reposi have a dual gpu laptop and used hyprland
>>106818190Lying nigger. Why do you come to this board to do this?
>>106817824>How do you prepare /gee/?I bought a macbook air m4.
>>106817824By switching to 11 like good cattle.I use Cuda and tensor too much to switch to Linux unfortunately
>>106818203what? im white (polish) and used artix before i switched to windows because i realized i enjoy playing video games more than tinkertrannying
>>106818174The classic happy-go-lucky attitude.Ping me in a week when you've finally had enough of things not working.In other news, I've been growing happy with my Fedora KDE install lately.Finally a system that "just-werks", and closely resembles a modern OS in terms of UI.
>>106818165still doesn't change the fact that you can't play any of those and companies will never change that also it's cs2 now ma'am
>>106818174I installed it for my sister like a month ago and I finally stopped hearing of her complaining about stuff not working
>>106818136>tinkertrannypressing one button once while you're still in the initial setup phase of your computer does not count as tinkertrannying. do not try to equate it to your desktop breaking monthly.
>>106818247it does change things actually, you smarmy little faggots blame linux when you are just wrongits riot and epic games' fault but you wont dare criticize big daddy goyslop factory.
>>106817824I will continue using an outdated version of windows 10, running outdated versions of my preferred software. Eventually my web browser will stop working because of deprecated security certificates, and I will be free.
>>106818458i constantly have to tardwrangle windows out of doing shit i dont tell it to do. saying "nu uh ur just doing it wrong" makes you a tinkertranny.
>>106817874Where do I get LTSC?
>>106818483massgrave.dev
>>106818478you haven't given an example because it would expose you as either a liar or a retard. windows is by far the most user friendly and intuitive OS that exists.
>>106818488Okay yeah I already knew that site. I already have a windows 10 ltsc 2021 english 64 bit iso, thanks.
say i dont give a fuck still use windows 10 base not LTSC am i going to get fucked by hackers?
>>106818226Things not working and figuring it out is the fun part
I'm using 11 since june 2021, shit the fuck up already.
>>106817824
>one weekNope
>>106818532windows can be preferable for work-related stufffor other things linux makes more sense in the long runI have windows installed on one system and linux on another
>>106818462i'm literally saying that there is no incentive for them to change things and telling people to not want to do things will never work :3
95% of people "aren't eligible" because they don't know the minimal technical knowledge to change 1 setting in their bios

>>106818483https://github.com/massgravel/Microsoft-Activation-Scripts
i would switch to linux mint but im playing battlefield 6
>>106818590I'll use 10 LTSC Iot until games stop working on it
>>106817933Get a praystation
you make this same thread every day
>>106819005yeah i found it got a key etc going to install it once i back all my shit up on my external hard drives and unplug them during install because im retarded dont want to wipe them by accident
>>106817824"Journey" what kind of bullshit wording is that? It's a computer not a god damn quest to bring the ring to Mordor for fuck sakes
>>106819014Loonix retards fall for it every time
>>106817824By migrating away from windows years ago.
>>106817824Windows is still a thing?
>>106817824>Windows 10 will die in one week. How do you prepare /gee/?not giving a single fuck and carry on doing my shit on 7 and 10
>>106818973I tried it with my applications, but it just simply did not work. Why spend 4 hours trying to duct tape garbage when I can spend 5 second loading and then start using it?
its not dead until steam stops supporting it
>>106818618You have the wrong version, bud. You need to change it to IoT. Simply run the MAS script in Powershell and change it that way. Takes 20 seconds.https://github.com/massgravel/Microsoft-Activation-Scripts
>>106818590Would like an answer to this as well
>>106818590>>106820262Nah not really. As long as your AV and browser keep getting updated then you're 95% fine. Windows Defender and Edge are going to keep being updated for a long long time even on windows 10.
As a gamer, which Linux distro should I get that's free of tranny drama and faggotry? Linux + wine + proton I'm guessing is my best option? Dual boot and keep win 10 for gaming?And no gay GNOME shit either.
>>106817824Literally never going to update. And when they make it impossible to use my computer with modern hardware, I'll literally switch to SteamOS. But I'll accept the Digital Bill of Rights version of Windows 11 that treats me like a person and not a data scrape source.
>>106817889I value my time.
>>106817824Buy a m4 Mac mini
>tfw even on /g/ bitches don't know about ESUKek
Installed Arch, installed steam, download proton-ge, play games that don't have pants on head retard nigger anti-cheat
>>106820394It doesn't help that all the helpful posters on /fwt/ were intentionally driven out and all useful links replaced with eceleb slop.
>>106818210>polish
>>106820340>which distroMint. It's the perfect starter one.Fedora KDE is another good one but you might one to start with Mint.Zorin is a guilty pleasure for me. Many anons don't like it but I've found it to be really good idk why. Your call between Mint and Zorin.>tranny drama and faggotryyou don't have to engage with any drama. Just use the software for what you need it and be done with it.>linux wine protonyeah, start with Steam's proton to play your catalog and see what runs well and what doesn't.>dual boot or keep w10 for gamingI'd restrain from dual booting on the same drive.What I do is this: I have a drive exclusively for Linux which I use for general stuff like browsing, writting docs, most of my work can be done on Linux. This is my main and default boot drive.Then I have another drive with W10 IoT LTSC that I use only for gaming, VR, and the odd program I'd need that can't run on Linux.This way I don't have to sacrifice usability and utility.

Win 10 Home here, how do I get ESU (extended updates for 1/3 years)?was trying to change some registry keys but I still don't see any buttons for itis there a way to do it with massgrave?
I will do nothing
>>106821820Old icons look so much better. Lots of color and sovl
>>106821835Yeah, they're nicer to look at. There are some older ones in system32 in a shell32.dll file. I've also just downloaded icon packs from windows 2000, 98, XP, etc. and swap those in as I please.

>>106817824I'm prepared, I've already had linux on all my computers since 2005. Never even used windows 10.
>>106818590probably not. you can upgrade in-place to LTSC and keep all your data so you might as well
>>106817824I’ll do nothing. At least for a few more years.>windows vista: shit>windows 7: good>windows 8: shit>windows 10: good>windows 11: shitI’ll wait for windows 12.
>>106818118one of these three actually is on Linux and it’s csgo (or cs2 or whatever I can’t tell since you guys use cs2 and csgo interchangeably for some reason even though they are two completely different games both of which are on linux)
>>106821943If an anime girl tells you to jump off the cliff, will you do it?
either use linux or use 10 ltsc, for some time was on the ltsc till I chose the penguin

>>106818136TPBP.You shouldn't need to "tinker" to tell Windows to stop doing shit, yet somehow all these third party tools/applications to open up MS's bullshit to tell it that is somehow a GOOD thing to babyducks.
>>106819004I'm in the same spot of being extremely sad that I can't play BF6 on Linux. I just dual boot ATP for VR games and some normie slop. Sort of fitting that windows is my dedicated normie game machine.

>>106817824Apparently they're giving it another year of updates, in the EU at least, so I don't need to do much.>>106817889Nah some games are cool. I also tried Linux and annoyances like not being able to control my audio interface properly still persist and probably will not be fixed.
>>106824584a random tranny could do literally anything on your computer at any time via an update. at the very least there may be a damper over the inevitable meltdown from the likes of microsoft. on the other hand they unironically believe preemptive self defense is justified in the "foss community". they cannot be trusted.

Me using Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC which lasts until January 13 2032It just werks lel.
>>106823627I don't care
>>106825269But I want to use wayland albeithough
>>106825305Yes. I fix our family car with my father every now and then, it's fun.You do have a father, right?
>>106823594There are minor drawbacks because the installation is barebones. The features differences between Enterprise IoT and Enterprise are minimal (the Meet Now icon on the taskbar being one, but that's something you can remove easily with privay.sexy). Otherwise, neither of these come with Microsoft Store, which means a bunch of stock programmes like the default photo viewer are not installed. But, again, reinstalling Microsoft Store and getting all those apps back is a piece of cake.Remove Meet Now:Install Privay.sexy, Go to REMOVE BLOATWARE > Remove "Meet Now" icon from taskbar.Reinstall Microsoft Store:simply type "wsreset -i" into CMD
Why would I need to do that? Mint is all I need. I've been using it for years. I built a new PC recently and reinstalled it.It just werks.
>>106826034Also I should add, opening chrome is FASTER in XFCE linux than windows 10 and searching as well. The browser is much snappier. The desktop is faster, the file manager is faster and almost instantaneous loading/switching folders, the ram usage is lower.I'm using 1.1GB on boot and thats with all the bloat mint packs in. 3gb on average with steam, chromium with multiple tabs and corectrl running at the same time and 1-5% of my CPU. Compare that to windows with 3GB on boot, 5GB for the same programs and 10-15% CPU usage just running chromium and steam.
>>106822407Nah windows 10 was shit, it was far less shit than windows 8 though. If it wasn't for compatibility issues, I would have stuck with windows 7. It's like modern software is planned to deliberately be out of service even if it works just so they can sell you the new goyslop.I made the switch to linux at this point out of spite for jeetsoft.

>>106817824I held out for as long as possible but my SSD croaked. I tried installing windows 11 but it didn't work because I didn't have some safe mode setting or some shit like that so instead I thought "fuck it" and I switched to Ubuntu, and I got a say... I like Ubuntu

>>106817824I'll installed Windows 11.
>>106817824I just grabbed the 25H2 iso from microsoft and spinned it up on my usb stick with rufus on Oct 1st, and did a clean install of Pro with a local account. I can't complain, it's pretty snappy on my 165hz monitor despite running a 10th gen cpu, it's pretty enough with the mica transparency/shading effect, and the core applications work for my use case very well and are auto-updooted like calculator, notepad, paint, photos, clock, gamebar, snipping tool etc. Much better than stuff pre-installed on Fedora 42. Feels very satisfying to be back on chromium based browsers and windows too because of superior text rendering, all eye strain gone, and games actually feel like they're built for the OS and just install with absolutely zero issues be it from GOG, or Steam, or Epic, or pirated, grabbing all the dependancies automatically and running perfect, gamebar is surprisingly simple and nice for taking pictures, videos, and benchmarking too. I'm enjoying it, helps that every niche mod for vidya works super easy too. I left W10 because of how ugly it was but W11 feels like W7 v2, home sweet home. It's a bit enshittified because of MS being desperate to get you into their ecosystem, but beyond the bing search in start menu search I don't have any other annoyances after simply uninstalling apps I don't need with a single click in the start menu like OneDrive, Copilot, News, Weather, 365, Teams etc.
>>106828312So going from 10 to 11 isn't as bad as it seems?
>>106817824 >>106817896 After reading a confusing amount of forum threads and "solutions", I still lack understanding of how to choose the correct path if I want to keep my Win10. So let me get this straight: >Windows 10 will end in a few days >the official way is a one time payment of $30 to receive security updates for another year >or you can download some magic, intransparent script from a random dude who made it some time ago >the script apparently changes something on the deepest levels of your registry >this should magically change your Windows to some version that will receive updates for much longer and you don't need to create a Microsoft account >it is unclear if you have to enter a license key, but if you need one here's a generic key that should work >it is also unclear if you actually will receive updates after October 15th when using this unofficial method >the best confirmation is people who just write "it worked for me" without providing any proof >all of this completely for free and done in minutes >somehow Microsoft, the largest software maker in the world, is still oblivious of this one simple trick

>>106832084Yeah. not like you can turn it off or anything.
LOL NO
>>106828670There are much more things going on with Windows 10 than you can comprehend.Microsoft would probably like to keep giving updates to consumer versions of windows but OEM pressure is as such they are being forced to notDo you honestly think for a second Microsoft who otherwise gave anyone and everyone who had windows 7 and 8 free keys for 10 are going to be the main beneficiaries of windows 10 being EoL? No, the main beneficiaries are the OEMs who get to sell new hardware.Microsoft couldn't give a dick about licensing, that's why they host the script for you to pirate windows on github WHICH THEY FUCKING OWN.OEMs however internally are probably looking to not stock as many windows machines because they really don't want to support hardware for literally 15 years as every Windows 7 machine is also a Windows 10 machineOEMs have to make sure their systems can still work with the massive amounts of different versions of Windows 10 that has came out.Windows 11 allows there to be a cuttoff so OEMs can stop supporting this hardware.MS however is giving people an out with being able to install other versions of Windows 10 that are going to be supported for longer for those willing to get into the weeds. The IoT versions have always had extremely long support times, way longer than consumer.
lol
