Why are so many people going back to windows 7 and XP?
>>107619916They're not.
they're installing either cachyGNU or Pop!_GNU or GNU Mint
>>107619947But we are though
>>107619916Because you don't need moreEverything stopped improving since 2010 and either halted entirely or became worse, including operating systems
Hyperborean gen agarthians are injecting pure unfiltered soul directly into people's pineal gland
>>107619997frutiger aero is indian-coded
>>107619962Some 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.
They are vocal minority
The developer of some compatibility program for windows 7 said he's seen thousands more downloads in the last 3 months
>>107619916I want to fuck this creature, is that what you wanted? Did I take the bait?
>>107620071Most likely normies wanting to escape Windows 11, but still too afraid to install Linux.
>>107620036>Also, I haven't seenworld doesnt revolve around you bud
>>107620080I've been daily driving gentoo for 8 years and switched to windows 7 in october because I don't have the time to put up with trannies and their evergreen spergouts
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?
>>107620125I think a lot of people are waking up to the fact that things are seriously getting worse
>>107619916They're ragebaiters OP, they'll say stupid shit like how they have Windows 7 on a brand new computer.
>>107619916Because it's perfectWorks out of the boxThe UI is very consistent and looks pretty good although I prefer metro styleIt never ever crashesIt's much more faster especially on new hardware99% of software works perfectly fine and if you run into that 1% just use a compatibility api extension you install with 2 mouse clicksperfectly safe thanks to NAT and modern browsers0 telemetry
>>107619916They aren't, you're desperate to create this perception to get retards into your state-sponsored botnet. Retarded moskal subhuman.
>>107620191
A lot of people realized it's literally the same windows they know without the bad parts
>>107620214Who the fuck make reddit posts like this. Do they never leave their house? Fuck you. (Not you lovely, anon. The Reddit guy)
>>107619916Not providing a link to this avatar maker isn't polite, OP.
>>107620223>Who the fuck make reddit postsGood morning, sar.
>>107620097sure you did prakesh
>>107620251SAAR, please do not disrespect aryan person. Janitors must kindly do the needful and remove this post.
>>107620097Pretty similar to me, I've been on arch since 2016 but recently I went back to using windows 7 because I got tired of dealing with the broken packages all the time
>>107620191>NAFOtroon makes Windows 7 about Russia somehowmeds
>>107620109basedI switched from ubuntu+windows 11 to only windows 8.1I don't need more
>>107620318>demented moskal with AIDS tries to conceal his latest dumb as shit pysopYou're like a walking abortion, lmao.
>>107620109>>1076203308.1 bros... RISE
>>107620189Pretty much thisLeencucks will never be this comfy and w7 justwerks
Who the fuck uses a pc these days when you have smartphones?
>>107620036I got all my friends to switch to windows 7 and I even helped them out a bit
>>107619916it just works unlike windows 11
>>107619916MSglowies are trying to activate every pajeet sleeper agents in this board to defend them.
Everyone wants a peice of 7Chads
>>107619916Because Microsoft's tricks and marketing campaigns are failing and people realized they can just fuck off back to when their software actually did what it's supposed to do
>>107620097>>107620277I only left windows 7 once a few days ago for an hour when I installed linux mint to see if it's a good alternative yet but when I tried launching minecraft my audio just stopped working and I had to restart my system to get it to play sounds again LOL
>>107619962>μTorrentOnly reason this anon's using it is to larp>>107620080No, linux is still shit. I want to do more than emulate windows games
>>107619916Because they are complete spastics that don't care about the downstream issues they cause with their retardations.>>107620189>Because it's perfectBy 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 boxNo hardware ever requires additional drivering?>It never ever crashesYou'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 browsersExcept that no modern browsers accept win7 as a platform, and NAT slipstreaming regularly byspasses.>0 telemetryExplaining why the telemetry was backported whilst other editions of winhoes was still valid.>>107620386That's right. Rise.It makes the fall funnier.>>107620401>when you have smartphones?someone that wants to do something. "serious" software doesn't exist on 'tardphones.>>107620412>I even helped them out a bitYou 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.
>>107620401ppl who dont have little girl hands?
>>107620097I'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
>>107619962That wallpaper is from Mac Snow Leopard.https://512pixels.net/projects/default-mac-wallpapers-in-5k/
>>107620578>I want to do more than emulate windows gamesThen good news.They exist native.
>>107620586>completely incoherent, incomprehensible and utterly deranged ESL babbleMicrosoft isn't sending their best, are they?
>>107620651>completely incoherent, incomprehensible and utterly deranged ESL babbleTo 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.
>>107620680
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
>>107620687Yeah. 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.
>>107620697Based, I also enjoy converting PCs to windows 7
>>107620697Will 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?
>>107620716I installed windows 7 on 20 PCs this month already
>>107620611A lot of people are getting fed up with Linux with how garbage it's gotten in the last 2 yearsI think microsoft is executing the extinguish phase
>>107620785Why would they be making windows unusable if that was the case?
>>107620796Large 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
>>107620611Not 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 11I mean, this is just basic computer networking after all lmao
>>107620901it's just one indian spamming it because his XP era laptop can't handle windows 7you also have to remember that 99% of people with an internet connection are behind a cgnat these days
>>107619916What the fuck is the OP picture?
>>107619916According 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
>>107620929statcounter states on their website that the real stats are likely much higher because they can't capture everythingpersonally i know over 20 people who also use windows 7
This is a not so thinly veiled pajeetosoft paid shill thread because satya nutella would rather users keep babyducking old versions of windows than to leave the plantation. You can tell because people are making up bullshit like "I ran gentoo" (nobody runs gentoo lmao) and "all the Lunix packages have been breaking in the past few months". Just made up FUD targeted at people who are thinking of switching away from Windows due to how badly they've fucked up with 11
Gen alpha was born after the peak of Frutiger Aero. Flatshit was their childhood.
Going from ubuntu to win 7 I can safely say I never looked back
>>107620949Yes, exactly. I do consulting, and it's astonishing the number of old machines I see around. Non tech savvy people don't really care about upgrades. If they bought a machine back in 2010 and it's still working, they see no reason to upgrade it to a newer version, especially if it disrupts their user experience.
>>107620911there's the obvious indian who's already shit up this thread and a bunch of fags who get angry at people who challenge the status quo
>>107620901>Why wouldn't I switch to windows 7?Because you should switch to XP instead
>>107620611I also went from Linux except to windows xp and it was a very smooth experience so far, I can run all my programs just fine and the whole OS is just raw unfiltered white man sovl. no bloat, no telemetry, runs as fast as possible, looks beautiful, extremely customizableI think I'll put it on my travel laptop as well when I get home
>>107620968I did run gentoo years ago and it is true that linux packages have been breaking in the last few months (they're always breaking, but especially in the last few months). Now I use Windows 7. You're literally just coping, seething and dilating like a typical Linuxtroon.
A bunch of indians told me I can't use a 5090 with windows 7 so I got a 4090 instead but when I went over to my friend's house he was running it perfectly fine
>>107620566Yeah Linux is awful but the mint distribution is especially bad because it's ran by 50 year old demented retards
>>107620611>vibecoded slopa LOT of new configuration files and package definitions that are obviously AI generated have been popping up everywhere, and with that a lot of shit breaking
>>107621113Torvalds recently allowed AI to be used in the kernel, along with rust as well. It's looking very grim for LinuxThis guy might be onto something >>107620785
>>107620901>The only argument made against is that it's easy to exploitPretty strong argument, tho.>but when you have an up to date web browser and either close default servicesEvidence suggests strongly this isn't the real world deployment senario.>use a firewallMost don't have a seperate firewall. >or are behind a cgnat Proven ineffective as a security measure, and is a prime delivery method of malware.>as safe as windows 11Only if you accept win11 to be unsafe...>I mean, this is just basic computer networking after all lmaoYes. But no.If you can't keep it secure, you really shouldn't take it online. You deserve what will happen next.Unfortunately, everyone downstream that actually has to deal with the mess you make, doesn't.
I'm glad my ISP put me behind a CGNAT because I can run windows 7 just fine without getting raped by some russian botnet
>>107619916It's safer than windows 11 because it has less bugs and also it's much easier to use, this is why i installed it on my parents computers
>>107619916>going backI never leftYet to get hacked btw
>>107621091You can literally just search rtx 5090 windows 7 and countless reddit threads show up saying it works just fine, same for new processors
>>107621227Yeah I was kind of worried that my cpu would be too modern for it but it literally just worksI'm glad I switched because It's so much faster than windows 10My girlfriend asked me to put it on her pc as well lmao
Games on Linux have been crashing quite a bit latelyAny tips for windows 7?
>>107621303look up "windows 7 platinum", first link and download, put it on a usb, and install like any other OS
>>107619916Because they're better than 10/11 in every regard
>>107619916Because they're peak, only disliked by crybaby vibe coder developers who brainlessly use some library like a pajeet and they are too unskilled to make it work with a good Windows version
>>107621316>first link and downloadLets pretend they isn't likely to be using a 'personalised' service that's algorythmically filtering results...>>107621392>Because they're better than 10/11 in every regardIunno. Botnet sizes for 10 are starting to catch up. Tho in fairness it looks like 7 about to upsize...
>>107621316Thanks, It's copying to ventoy right now
>>107619916>Why are so many people running away from windows 11?A mystery...
>>107621303For real though, CS2 and minecraft crash like 5 minutes after launching on arch linux now. WTF happened lmao
>>107621316based windows 7 platinum user
>>107621459It's because package maintainers have been using chatgpt to generate new packages lmao look it up
>>107621459Yeah I also experienced similar problems on fedora and I just switched to windows 7
>>1076201098.1 is a decent middle ground between 7 and 10, though unless you have some weird hardware that doesn't work out of the box you should just install 7
>>107621113You don't have to worry about AI on w7 my friend
it feels really good knowing that no indian, chatgpt, or transvestite freak ever touched or will touch my OS
>>107620080
>>107619916Poorfags mostly.
do first worlders really?
still waiting for that hackerino who magically bypasses my cgnat and firewall>1611 days uptime
>XP>everything works>fastest usable OS in existence>safe thanks to a firewall>beautiful>absolute 0 bloat>100% immune to microsoft>can run on literally any dumpster hardware or a $10,000 workstation without issueswhat's stopping you?
I realized Linux will never be as secure because hackers can not only read it's source code but even ADD their own code to it LOLI thought the code was kept safe by some bigshot security company but actually it's just like a few autistic dudes who use AI to scan it for malware hahaha
>>1076203308.1GOD here coming from windows 11
