Windows does everything in it's power from bitlocker encryption, to hogging the entire hard drive. It makes you jump through hoop after hoop just to partition correctly, and then breaks shit in a fit every so often when you're running dual boot.

It still works just fine, unless maybe you fell for the meme of modern hardware. You have working web browsers like r3dfox or supermium. You have all the good proprietary software from its era that absolutely mogs modern troonix alternatives like gimp or krita. You can even run a lot of nuslopware with VxKex and have hacked drivers for USB 3.0 and NVME drives. Almost everything one might want to have.
> It’s full of unpatched RCEs
Again, doesn't matter if the attackers can't reach your computer. Perhabs you should learn the basics of computer networking first, troon.

That’s digital necromancy... Win$hit7 is missing mitigations like CFG, VBS, and kernel hardening that even Windoze10 had years ago. Bla bla.. nigger A NAT doesn’t save you from local or browser exploits, and pretending it does is cope. The xz-utils drama actually proved the open sauce shit works... the backdoor got caught. Meanwhile, you’re trusting a microshits black box system abandoned in 2020. Enjoy your zombie rig. Do yourself and your mommy a favor and never connect that piece of shit to your router.

And again, the resurrected corpse of Windows 7 still does better job for almost any use case than troonix. If you had the slightest idea about actual network security, you would know that you can use even Windows 3.11 just fine, provided that you can browse the internet from it. Are you guys really this retarded or just lying? I sometimes can't really tell.
>from local or browser exploits
Another meme, unless you are individually targeted by someone who can actually utilize them. Try harder.

Yes, this time, by a Microsoft engineer, because his autism told him that he must investigate half a second delay. Now ask yourself how many projects like this managed to get in to major distros because burned out, underpaid repo jannies couldn't care less.

No thanks. Windows 7 was good, sure, but it's overrated, it's not some amazing bulwark of digital perfection like people act like it is. People just have a fondness for it because it's the last Windows OS that does what it's supposed to do without all the spyware, bloat, adware, and forced AI cancer. But good luck trying to keep that 20 year old OS functioning into the 2030s

>>106965478
>And again, the resurrected corpse of Windows 7 still does better job for almost any use case than troonix.
Nah, it doesn't. You're just an old baby duck boomer who's used to Windows 7 therefore that makes it the best to you. Windows 7 can't run modern games, modern hardware drivers aren't being written for Windows 7. Windows 7 literally has worse compatibility issues than Troonix.
>If you had the slightest idea about actual network security, you would know that you can use even Windows 3.11 just fine, provided that you can browse the internet from it.
Is that really all you do with your computer? Just browse the internet? You can do that just fine with any operating system, you've failed to explain how Windows 7 is superior for this use case or any other
>>
>>106965532
Every Windows version from XP onwards is pretty much invincible, and even something as old as XP still mogs troonix for most use cases. Nowadays latest, most "just werks" linux distro is maybe on pair with something like Windows 98, MAYBE.

>Nah, it doesn't.

>You're just an old baby duck boomer

>Windows 7 can't run modern games,
Most modern games are trash + Even XP with One Core API was proven to be able to run games like GTA V.
>modern hardware drivers aren't being written for Windows 7
New hardware is objectively bad. Good CPUs should not rust shortly after you buy them. Good GPUs should not rely on generating fake frames. All the good hardware is supported by 7, officially or not.
>Windows 7 literally has worse compatibility issues than Troonix.
Hah, good one.
>Is that really all you do with your computer? Just browse the internet?
You mistook me for a linux user. I use photoshop regularly, decode various radio signals with windows-specific software, like PDW, and ocasionally play some older games.
>you've failed to explain how Windows 7 is superior for this use case or any other
I have already did that in this thread but you probably failed to comprehend it. Maybe if you took less HRT you would actually be able to do so.

Ok guy I mean "girl", keep using your antique OS with outdated browser with heaps of vulnerabilities on both. You're obviously sooooo smart that security doesn't matter to you. That's fine, you can also use WinXP if you really want. It's just not secure. It will forever be vulnerable since Microsoft abandoned it.

Honestly a techluddite Win7splaining how their retarded choice of OS due to baby duck syndrome in a Linux thread is to be expected but no less annoying. Knowing nothing about exploits and then claiming others are ignorant is midwit tier, but to be anticipated from someone running an OS with 5 years of accumulated 0-days (some more like 1000-days at this point).

You'd think a tech board would attract people who aren't afraid of minor changes to their OS and actually install security patches. But you'd be wrong, we get troons decrying upd000tsrs and fixated on a specific proprietary closed source OS release from 2009 because that was probably the first OS they used as a kid and they're afraid of change. You imprinted on aero glass and can't handle anything being slightly different, much less something significantly different like Linux.

You are literally worse than the troonix fags of 2015 who said shit like "it's okay that nothing works on Linux because everything other than browsing the web is objectively a dumb usage of the computer anyway, everything worth running runs on my ancient Thinkpad"

Now it's the opposite.

But more importantly I'm in the process of moving most of my things to self hosted services on my home server so that my desktop becomes more and more of a bare client machine where the OS matters less and I can easily nuke it and change OS without having to go through the process of backing up and restoring all my data, constantly stressing about whether I missed something important.
And that server is already on linux (proxmox/debian), of which the management is teaching me a lot, lowering the barrier to make the switch to linux as a desktop daily driver.
