It's sad to see, that Win11 LTSC is on par with Win10 Home in terms of privacy. Just keep your 10 LTSC and dual boot with Linux, it's not that hard.
>>106961441Because I don't need Linux. Windows 10 is enough.
>>106961441>troonixI would rather "downgrade" to Windows 7.

Baby ducks can't handle change but as their games become unsupported they will go to windows 11 like good little slaves instead of just going to Linux and having a throw away windows install for the obscure thing if they can't run a bare metal vm.

I wiped my windows drive before 10 ran out of updates...felt good. Had to quit a game I played, but it was garbage anyway.
Fixing GRUB after it gets broken by a Windows update is always a good learning experience.
Why would I install Windows again?
>>106961441why do i need multiple boots?
>>106961441>It's not that hardWindows 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.

>>106961746Security updates don't matter if you are not retarded. Your computer is firewalled with your ISPs router and can't be exploited from the internet. The rest is just the matter of not downloading malicious executables, so its the same as on nuwindows. Rope yourself, lying tranny.
>>106964189What kind of nigger mentality is that? Windows 7’s been a digital corpse since 2020. It’s full of unpatched RCEs and kernel exploits that don’t care how “careful” you are. A router firewall won’t save you when the Winshit7 itself is swiss cheese. Loonix gets security fixes weekly, your ancient Win7 install is basically malware cosplay atp. “Just don’t download viruses” yep, brown cybersec.

>>106964809>Windows 7’s been a digital corpse since 2020It still works just fine, unless maybe you fell for the meme of modern hardware. You have working web browsers like r3dfox or supermium.

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?

>>106965532Every 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.

>>106969388With every comment you make, you show that you know less about computers, so much for tech-literacy of freetroons then. Where did you even get this idea?

>>106961441You can literally install Linux in windows. Why bother with dual boot when you can run Linux cli straight from windows?

>>106969544Ok 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. Stuck in your ways like a boomer, but probably a zoomer who doesn't understand computers.
>>106969687I need windows 100% of the tile and Linux 0% of the time.

You also will forever have dozens of publicly known exploits and zero days on your system which any script kiddie (who knows you're running Windows 7 like an autist) will be able to target and exploit you with. >But that's okay because you need to just live in the past! Never run new software, never play new games, never upgrade your PC, never get a faster processor or a better GPU, never do anything with local LLMs or AI, never have a secure up-to-date OS!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. Linux has caught up in compatibility, Windows has enshittified to the point of being objectively worse yet retards like you are arguing that we should just fossilize our computers in the year 2009 to cope with how shitty Windows has gotten. "Windows XP will always be the best as long as I can still run WinAmp nothing else matters" lmao

You're using an objectively worse operating system that abuses you. Continuing to use it and defending it makes you a cuck that will lose digital sovereignty and gain dependence on Microsoft who cares nothing more to exploit you for your data for profit
>>106969835Not him, but the software that I actually need (because few want to take the time to build anything for linux) is on Windows. No amount of kvetching about muh freedoms or cries about "abuse" is going to change that.
>>106962560And that's a good thing. Look what happened to Windows when devs pampered to room temp iq retards
>>106969850Then at least have a separate computer running Windows for applications you absolutely need and cannot live without and have your main computer run Linux. Hell, a virtual machine may be good enough for work. It's understandable if you need certain applications for work, but you don't need to put all of your eggs in one basket and live your life entirely on Windows. Don't be a cuck full of excuses just because you're afraid of being called a tranny on the internet by some random anon on an imageboard
>>106969850What software is that specifically? I wanna know what I'm missing out on
>>106962560So this is why my mum and dad can use linux at 70+
>>106969803I'm an engineer not a software engineer. My work requires software only available on windows. Linux is literally a toy os.
>>106961441I've just nuked a broken old kubuntu partition to reformat it with btrfs and install fedora on it.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.
>>106969875You don't want to know. You just want something you can google, so that you can reply with>Use Y instead.>You don't NEED X>Just run X in a VM! >>106969874I've forgotten more about linux than you'll ever know. The problem is that it's shit on the desktop, even after 30 years, so there is just no reason for me to waste my time tinkering with it. Windows runs everything I need, and provides a linux environment if I ever need it.
>>106969789Video games is a luxury. Not a necessity. Save up for a separate Windows PC for gaming or a gaming console if you really want that. If you disagree, you are a manchild
>>106969909you're in a toy profession dude
>>106969945Why are you stuck on linux? Baby duck? Explore new horizons. Buy more computers if you're too scared to experiment. I want to see you running several BSDs, OpenIndiana, HaikuOS and let's through in HP-UX too, preferably on an Itantium processor. I mean it's ok if you can't do all of that, it's just that I thought you were a serious computer hobbyist.
>>106969940No I want to know because I want you to prove you're not LARPing and that you actually know which programs of yours don't run on Linux instead of just parroting what other people have said about Linux compatibility issues
>>106969548I don't think you know what Linux is. Stop talking now, zoomer.
>>106970013Everyone knows what linux is, it's that OS popular with unskilled midwits who want to feel like they're participating in tech by being "slightly" different, while never missing a chance to tell you they run it.

>>106961441use case? you can just use wsl when you need linux
Don’t dual boot, most everything you need, besides maybe some DAWs and anti cheat video games, will have some equivalent on Linux. EAC on windows was more of a hassle to set up than Whipper.
>>106971375>some equivalent on LinuxLies from a mendacious troon.
>>106971332>you can just use wslFair and thats good for a lot of stuff, but I had so many problems with ROCm on WSL, fucking kernel modules that I couldn't install, because WSL uses a virtualized Loonix kernel. I think AMD fixed that for most of their GPUs with the latest driver and ROCm 7. Also, running my homeserver on windoze using docker containers on a loonix vm kernel doesn't sound like a good idea.>I just woke and the other nigger still baiting other people to talk about winshit7As I said: I dual boot with Win10 LTSC, I'm not saying that Loonix is perfect, but I use it 95% of the time, I just boot into Windoze, when I want to play Kernel Malware Games with my friends. I switched to Loonix for the most part, because of privacy and I don't like the direction microshaft is going. And I feel much more secure on Loonix when I get my games or media from 3rd party sources via qbittorrent... I actually think 10 LTSC is decent...
>>106970006LARPer couldn't answer, typical.

>>106972321Top 10 things that never happend, especially if you have seperate ESPs.
>>106972428it's too easy to end up with shared ESPs, even when you're installing into separate drives, if you don't think to unplug it beforehand.these days i store my Linux bootloaders on USB keys, which is how i avoid messing with boot entries and boot order, as well as ESP issues.
>>106971375Whipper doesn’t create EAC compatible log checksums, the guy who made the eac log plugin for whipper doesn’t want to add it and it’s been 8 years.EAC in wine is still the superior choice for private tracker compatibility.
