Some random spergs on /g/ posting their Windows 7 desktops is not the same a "many people" going back to these OSes. Also, I haven't seen any XP screenshots as of yet.

8.1 chad here, I ditched linux mint because the audio kept breaking every update and also the devs are retarded and don't know how to fix it
>>
If you've been using Windows 10 for years, why would you go back to 7 just because 11 exists?

>>107620125
I think a lot of people are waking up to the fact that things are seriously getting worse

They're ragebaiters OP, they'll say stupid shit like how they have Windows 7 on a brand new computer.

Because it's perfect
Works out of the box
The UI is very consistent and looks pretty good although I prefer metro style
It never ever crashes
It's much more faster especially on new hardware
99% of software works perfectly fine and if you run into that 1% just use a compatibility api extension you install with 2 mouse clicks
perfectly safe thanks to NAT and modern browsers
0 telemetry

Because they are complete spastics that don't care about the downstream issues they cause with their retardations.

>>107620189
>Because it's perfect
By which you mean hideosly flawed, and unable to run for long periods of time without severe modification, including purging explorer.exe?

>Works out of the box
No hardware ever requires additional drivering?

>It never ever crashes
You'll need some pretty strong evidence there. It can't even remain in an uncrashed state when being unused.

>perfectly safe thanks to NAT and modern browsers
Except that no modern browsers accept win7 as a platform, and NAT slipstreaming regularly byspasses.

>0 telemetry
Explaining why the telemetry was backported whilst other editions of winhoes was still valid.

>>107620386
That's right. Rise.

someone that wants to do something. "serious" software doesn't exist on 'tardphones.

You really didn't. All you helped them do is generate lines in someone's log when they lose control over the hardware and join the botnet.

I've been on gentoo only 4 years but linux has really been going to shit the last few months. Broken packages, libraries getting abandoned, vibecoded slop being slipped into configs, projects dying because tranny takeovers, etc...
I already installed windows 7 on my laptop and I'll be installing it on my desktop soon, I just need to back up my files first

To you. Because you lack education.

>Microsoft isn't sending their best, are they?
M$ couldn't afford me.
What makes you think I work for microsoft? The way I constantly highlight how shitty their products and practices are?
Or could it be that's what you wanted to find before you started, so that's all you can possibly see now? Like everything else in your existence.
And it is an existence, describing what you have as a life would be a little strong.

I switched to windows 7 thanks to some tutorial on youtube and I also did it for my mom and sister and they like it more now
>>
>>107620687
Yeah. You got nuttin'. Again.
Your "best" ammo is to 'insult' my ethnicity - which as you've got it so laughably wrong only actually serves to highlight your lack of education, and re-enforce my previous posit that you can only see that which you had previously decided to be true with zero supporting evidence in a desperate attempt to tell yourself that it's not your world-view that's fucked up, it's just everything else you encounter all day, every day.

Based, I also enjoy converting PCs to windows 7

Will they also thank you for the infections that are assured to occur?
What about when they machine takes a swing at something that matters, and they're left trying to prove it wasn't them. They gonna thank you for that?

>>107620716
I installed windows 7 on 20 PCs this month already
>>
>>107620611
A lot of people are getting fed up with Linux with how garbage it's gotten in the last 2 years
I think microsoft is executing the extinguish phase
>>
>>107620785
Why would they be making windows unusable if that was the case?
>>
>>107620796
Large corporations aren't exactly known for being very well organized. The employees responsible for killing OSS are most likely more detached or clandestine than the rest so that's also a large factor
>>
>>107620611
Not just gentoo, this has been happening across all distros
>>
Why wouldn't I switch to windows 7?
The only argument made against is that it's easy to exploit but when you have an up to date web browser and either close default services, use a firewall or are behind a cgnat it's 1:1 as safe as windows 11
I mean, this is just basic computer networking after all lmao
>>
>>107620901
it's just one indian spamming it because his XP era laptop can't handle windows 7
you also have to remember that 99% of people with an internet connection are behind a cgnat these days

>>
>>107619916
According to statcounter, Linux has 3.05% of market share while Windows 7 has 2.94%. This means that an obsolete and vulnerable operating system that is 16 years old has nearly the same usage has Linux. Reallly embarrassing for Linux. lmao
