Bloat free, safe and has the lickable fruitiger aero glass. This is the best version of windows and I will use it till I die!
>>107225997Too much effort. Linux and windows 10 for anti cheat game just works.
>>107225997>safeAfter you axe the telemetry and install a good third party firewall, maybe.
>lickableI don't think you're supposed to do that, anon..
>>107225997>can't use steamhmmm idk maybe cause i play games?
>>107226056I have temptations sometimes. it looks so lickable. There are sometimes moments I lick the screen. Windows 7 is the best.
>>107226076???I'm on WIn7 and using Steam.
>>107226076steam still works on 7, dumbdumb. the only issue is that some games need to be updated using the command line version of it, and that's easily doable.
>>107225997Because it's literally the worst of both worlds, a proprietary piece of shit system, and a system that isn't the best supported like Linux, but even worse because It's not being maintained and you can't put it on a new computer.
>>107225997It honestly takes less tinkering to get Linux to work these days than it does to get a comfortable Windows 7 setup going.
>>107227664This, My old Windows 7 routine would go like>Install 7>crack that mf with DAZ loader>install my motherboard and card drivers stored on usb>open IE which is horrible>get chrome>get VLC>get 7-zip, audacity, all that good foss shit to make Windows actually workNow I just>Install Mint>Furryfox already installed because Linux doesn't come with junk>open up software soft and get additional shit easily
>>107227756why not just have the chrome/vlc/other program installers also on the usb?
>>107227756Furryfox is pozz and spyslop.
>>107227756>not downloading the exes with the drivers, and putting them together on the same usb>not knowing about redfox
>>107227866>>107227756forgot to add>using DAZ loader, when MAS has TSforge
>>107227880It's been a while since I messed around with cracks so I've been out of it, but Windows is still junk looking back at it, I should've been using Linux even before 7 died, my life would've been easier.
>>107225997I prefer the classic theme.
>>107227855>spyslopIf you're worried about this at all then you shouldn't be using Windows to begin with. Especially not windows 7, which can't even run Tor browser, which is the only browser that allows you to browse the web privately without leaking a unique fingerprint/IP address to every site you visit
why the fuck would anyone want to go to old abandonware that's so behind that it's lapped by linux in every way?
>>107229756This, I was a diehard Windows 7 dude as long as it could run stuff without tweaking, but when Chrome 109 (countries) came out and that was the last one for 7 I was like "holy shit, motherfuckers with Ubuntu and whatever the fuck else Linux can run newer software than me" and it's not like I was getting brand new games or software support anyway, so might as well get Linux.
>>107225997I have arch linux on my pc but I’ve been having thoughts about switching to an older version of windows lately just to see how it compares.
>>107226056You never had a background you want to lick?
>>107225997It's made by the same people that made the other versions of this spyware. How can you be this retarded? Also it's a dead OS.
>>107225997>SafeLets not kid ourselvesAlso it's old. I probably couldn't get half the packages or tools I use for my work to run on it I'd imagine.
>>107229931>It's made by the same people that made the other versions of this spywareThis, Winfags don't understand that it's a philosophy issue that makes Windows the way it is, Microsoft isn't in the business of making software that is good, they are in the business of making sure their shit is on the most PCs possible, whereas Linux imperfect as it is, is made by people that are passionate and care about this stuff.
>>107229735I use XP + PaleMoon (zero pozz) + Anti-fingerprinting addons via Tor expert bundle + Proxifier. Literally not my problem.
>>107229971Windows is developed with the goal of continually profiting from the user even after the initial sale of the software. That means adding spyware, unwanted AI features, adware, etc. Not because the user wanted it, but because the corporation wanted it so that they could make more money off of you. >>107229983You're probably the only person in the world with that configuration which would make you more fingerprintable.
>>107229971I would consider using it if it was fully open source and reputable people would strip everything from it and rewrite certain components for modern usage. That way you would have a decent OS. But then again, this task is completely impossible, maybe it will be possible in the next century when windows 7 is considered a completely useless pile of legacy code written for desktop calculators.
>>107230000>You're probably the only person in the world with that configuration which would make you more fingerprintable.Not really, but fingerprinting is completely irrelevant unless you're stupid enough to use the same browser with the exact same setup while accessing websites both with and without Tor on.
>>107229806>Nooo i can't use the official jewgleslop anymore and can't switch to supermium either since i'm retarded>This means windows 7 is somehoe untenable (it's not)You got filtered
>>107230785The Chromium support is kind of a big deal these days Anon, a lot of programs are basically browsers now like steam, and things move on.
>>107227219>steam still works on 7, dumbdumbNo it doesn't, updates don't work and every game gets updated regularly to make sure compatibility is broken.
use group policy on ltsc to 0 security, set services start to manual and put firewall on telemetry ones with winutil
>>107230875anon you gotta read the WHOLE post
>>107230893on what? windows 10? windows 11?
>>107230924windows 10 works best
>>107225997>safeLMAOLOLGood luck getting driver support on newer components like modern network adapters/card, GPU or CPU.
>>107227219>>107230905>using the command lineSounds alot like the penguin os lmao
>>107226040i ran win 7 for 15+ years uac off, admin only, kaspersky installed but quitted (off), barely any windows updates, smbv1 on, win def, firewall action etc all disabled, final destination and never got a virus.literally just a router is all you need, if that
>>107227219>using the command line version of itisn't this the same braindead argument of unfriendly usage of linux?
>>107227219no you can use vxkex (dotexe's version) to update and play the only issue is with games like goh that detect injection but you can just install an old steam version from web archive and disable updates and use it without vxkex solely for those games
>>107227756you can just slipstream/image your install so you dont have to do any of that shit
>>107225997cause i use enterprise g
>>107225997I'm already on it
>>107225997>thinking there's a best windows anything
Im debating returning to W7. Only switched to 10 cause Elden ring only work on W10. But now I dont play that shit game anymore so no need to stay on the os.
>>107231108This, once you have a Linux revelation, all versions of windows are fucking ass
>>107225997I'm not mentally ill enough
>>107231082>>107225997>you in the future
>>107231189Fail. That's XP and viruses no longer run on it.
>>107231189>not having backups>not using Common Sense™ Anti-VirusYou deserve to get cryptoed

>>107231249>Firewall DisabledYeah, your windows 11 will get infected immediately as well faggotYou can even take a step further and install Windows XP Firewall Control by Sphinx
I used it, long ago, then moved on because I'm not a senile old man that can't adapt to change
>>107231380I don't even think it's about being an old man at this point, I consider myself to be an old bastard at the ripe age of 30, but the people thinking they're gonna use windows 7 for everything forever are living in a false reality, they think of Windows 7 as some sort of good old car, but they need to understand that computers are not cars that can be driven as they were forever, computers and the software they run can go out of date, and if you can't run something, you're not going to, you may have old software that runs on 7, and while you aren't going to be less productive as time goes on, you certainly can't be more productive with new software, Windows 7 isn't getting drivers made for a new computers, it's not getting any newer packages, and there's nothing wrong with using Windows 7 and the software you love, but it's really relegated to a virtual machine within Linux, either that or you bite the bullet and get Windows 11, but you're going to have to do something.
>>107231430>but the people thinking they're gonna use windows 7 for everything forever are living in a false realityIve been using it since its inception. I've used W10 and W11 for work. There is no reason for me to upgrade to either based on my experience. W11 is a living nightmare.> they think of Windows 7 as some sort of good old car, but they need to understand that computers are not cars that can be driven as they were forever, computers and the software they run can go out of date, >car metaphorUnlike cars, OS go on forever as long as the company supports them. W7 got deprecated cause Microsoft forced a lot of the big companies to stop supporting it. And then there's the dx12 scam that didn't improve video games at all. Literally no reason to go to W10 or 11 if you arent a normie.>Windows 7 isn't getting drivers made for a new computers, it's not getting any newer packages, and there's nothing wrong with using Windows 7 and the software you loveMy current mini atx computer with all modern parts runs W7. Nothing burger.summary: pic related
>>107231506>OS go on forever as long as the company supports them.well windows 7 stopped receiving in 2023 leaving in unfixable zero-days waiting to be exploited
>>107231518False, last update was this month
>>107231549server 2008 updates don't count, also windows 7 is losing program support day by day
>>107231518Well beyond security issues, in order to keep using Windows 7 on actual hardware, you're forced to use whatever computers you can find with driver support, and they're getting older every year, I used to be butthurt that coffee lake wasn't officially Windows 7 supported, but switching to Linux allowed me to enjoy the benefits of it over my old FX-8350 rig, and if Intel or AMD drops some crazy 65w thing that blows me out of the water so bad it's just absurd, I can just get that and move my Linux drive and move into a new computer without a problem.Again, either that or switch to the cancerous Windows 11, but the sooner you make a decision the happier you'll be, and Windows 7 running in a VM on top of Linux isn't as cumbersome as it sounds, I edit Photoshop CS6 files and edit video in Vegas pro and it actually goes faster than my old computer.
>>107231518And why does that bother me? My OS is still running fine.
>>107231557>also windows 7 is losing program support day by dayNone of the programs I use have lost support.
>>107231562>in order to keep using Windows 7 on actual hardware, you're forced to use whatever computers you can find with driver supportI literally went to Micro Center and got all the latest hardware there.Fuck off, jeet faggot.
>>107231563>>107231566For now Anon, but you're not thinking about the far future, I used to think I was gonna run windows 7 forever too, but the writing was on the wall, can't put it in a new computer, can't get new software, it's an abandoned system
>>107231557>server 2008 updates don't countWhy not?Same kernel>windows 7 is losing program support day by dayExternal kernel patches allows those arbitrary software restrictions to run without issues
>>107231579>Patching his fucking kernel like some sort of Linux user while getting no benefits of a Linux system because it's an abandoned version of Windows

>>107231609Fuck mobile*Are you being paid to post here shill?
>>107231379No operating system should have services exposed to the Internet by default, whether you have a firewall or not.
>>107231600on my win7 desktop i have working current version of steam, vivaldi, vscodium, nodejs 22, firefox works too iirc but i dont want to reinstall that malware
>>107231609I don't need to be paid because my operating system has actual development going on for it and the future is bright, meanwhile 7schizos are having to fuck around to make basic things work

Will I have to move on from 7 at some point? Of course.Do I have to now? No. So why would I? It just werks.
>>107231683>Do I have to now?yes, you are putting yourself and others at rick by using an unsupported operating system
>>107231704Besides security he's cucking himself from getting a new computer, I remember one time I found an i5-8400 computer by a dumpster, and I ended up giving it to my sister because the thing couldn't run Windows 10 officially and I kept using old hardware, that's how dumb I was about the Windows 7 usage, and that was like 4 years ago, nowadays if I found some 12th gen intel by the dumpster, you're damn right i'm throwing Linux on that piece.
>>107231704>yourselfmy shit's backed up>and othersu wot m8
>>107231721anon, most people don't find mythical dumpster computers. your example isn't exactly widely applied.
>>107231723>backed upand how are those back ups accessed? i hope you have an updated device you use view them.
>>107231575>For now Anon,Tired.
>>107225997At this point I wouldn't be surprised to hear that Linux is more supported by new software than Windows 7.
>>107231600>needing new builds of any of thatIt just werks, updooter.
>>107231737dude shut the fuck up
>>107231744i would be tired too with all the patching and hacking i would need to do to use deadshitos is 2025
>>107231733It is widely applied, as time goes on, newer and newer computers will find their way into your life, whether you buy them or someone hands it down to you, people aren't writing drivers for old ass computers, your options are either Linux or 11 is what I'm saying, Windows 7 on physical hardware isn't forever, but it can life forever via virtualization, I am all about preserving Windows 7 and my beloved Sony Vegas Pro 13, that's why I am a firm believer in people using newer computers with Linux on it and Windows 7 there with you, that that way it can be brought into the future while you have a good supported system with software that isn't wildly out of date.>>107231745It already is more out of date than Linux just on the fact that you're relegated to using old piece of shit computers that have drivers for it
>>107231653Those same guys also have XP forkhttps://eclipse.cx/projects/lun3r
>>107231749retard if you don't update your browser you are putting yourself at risk>>107231754lmao, 7igger can't handle the truth
>>107231762for now
>>107231745Kek Windows 7 can't even run the fucking Discord app or Zoom
>>107231762>go to site>see fag shitlmao
>>107231704flatten the curve!
>>107225997It doesn't run on my M5 Macbook Pro.
>>107231757>i would be tired too with all the patching and hacking i would need to doI havent had to do any of that shit for ten years, retard. Meanwhile, that's Linux's motto.
>>107231944Barely even, Linux is like a car, you can have stripped the fuck down distros you compile yourself that are basically racecars, but then you can use cars like Ubuntu or Linux Mint that kinda have it all, the thing might weigh a fuck ton but it's got it all.
>>107231944using old hardware is not a flex retard
i'd be back on 2k if i could
>>107231957>Barely even, Linux is like a car,
>>107232000Bullshit Anon, the Linux Mint car looks like this and you know it, it might be a little heavy but it's comfy and has everything.
>>107231737>and how are those back ups accessed? i hope you have an updated device you use view them.anon they're just normal files on redundant usb drives. it ain't that deep
>>107232000Ironically, most car computers run on a GNU operating system.
>>107231957>the thing might weigh a fuck ton but it's got it all.That's not even fair to say about Mint or Ubuntu because neither of them "weigh a ton", especially in comparison with other modern operating systems
>>107227219>just use the command line and do a bunch of tinkering to get shit to run on my non-standard OSYou're basically a Linuxfag, but even worse, because you don't do it because you like freedom and digital sovereignty. You do it because you're stubborn and hate change, and no other reason. There's zero virtue there. At least FOSSfags are trying to act towards some kind of higher cause or ideal by embracing free software which is going to give people more autonomy against tyrants. You're just doing this outdated windows shit for purely masturbatory reasons. And you're doing it only for yourselves. You're not making the world a better place developing and supporting free software like FOSSfags are. You just can't accept the fact that Microsoft told you to fuck off and left your favorite OS to wither and die because the people who made your OS are more concerned with making money than giving you a good user experience. Fuck that. You should swear off of using Windows for life out of principle for hating Microsoft. Fucking cuck ass bitch
>>107232109They really don't, but I use them as the "bloated" example because the hardcore bloatists will act like you need a ridiculous computer to run Mint, which is really a lightweight.
>>107232113yeah, i didn't read your post past the first line, so sorry you wasted your time typing itit wasn't "a bunch of tinkering", it takes like, 2 minutes, once, to set up. then you just do this >>107231354 whenever something needs updating. easy peasy
>>107232113>you don't do it because you like freedom and digital sovereignty. You do it because you're stubborn and hate change, and no other reasonThat's really the core issue with the baby ducks, they don't do what they do out of passion, or because they like using computers, they just don't want to change systems, people who understand technology know you're not gonna be able to use Windows 7 forever, and we don't say that as it being a bad system, but everything else around it has moved forward.
Windows Embedded 8.1 Industry Pro is snappier than 7 on the same hardware, has better memory management and is a bit more modern. Just install Open Shell.
Fuck. Take me home please ;_;
