I was fed up with the recent laggy and bloated windows release so I checked out Mint but it was pretty janky and not a great experience overall, a lot of my programs didn't work on it as wellBut then I got recommended a youtube tutorial on installing an older windows version and it made me wonder if that would be a viable alternative so I read some guides and turns out you can actually still use that version just fine if you install a modern web browser and a firewallI was expecting to have to tinker a bit to get new programs working on it but turns out they just work out of the boxI wish Mint was as pleasant of an experience because I enjoy customizing things and it's kind of known for that, but it really falls flat in comparisonAnyone else here switched to older windows?
>>107642240I'm curious, what windows version are we talking about OP?
>>107642270NTA but most likely Windows 7 with Windows Server security updates
>>107642270Haha I totally forgot to mention that!Of course I'm using windows 7 now :3
Didn't steam just drop support for windows 7?
I switched to the loli windows out of pure love for cunny
>>107642318only on paperpractically it works flawlessly same for all gamesi was playing battlefield 6 yesterday
>>107642270NTA but I like Windows 8.1. it was pretty good
>>107642339I'm also on 8.1 right now though I use 7 on my gaming desktop because it's so comfy
Why is windows 7 like this?
>>107642240OP is a faggot who posted the exact same thing yesterday around this time Your samefagging isn’t going to convince anyone but complete newfags that they should use a 20 year old OS decades behind on security updates so please an hero already
>>107642240Sage goes in all fields
ATTENTION NEWFAGSAfter someone made a youtube video about windows 7 being a better alternative than linux, a mentally ill pedophile linux tranny started hosting bots that go into windows 7 thread and slander it in any way possibleDO NOT INTERACT WITH HIS BOTSDON'T FEED THE BUTTHURT TRANNY
>>107642240I switched to win 7 a year ago
>>107642240You’re doing the lords work, anon. Can’t wait to try out some of these metasploit modules. https://www.cvedetails.com/product/17153/Microsoft-Windows-7.html
>>107642240>install a modern web browser and a firewallYou don't even need to do that when you're behind a CGNAT
>>107642240too long, didn't read, let's just have sex
>>107642240I also tried linux mint but it kept crashing when launching steam so I went with windows 7
>>107642240mmhhhhmm my windows 7 femboythe only good freetard-baiting poster

>>107642240What issues have you been having with mint exactly?
>>107642381>>107642495Missed the part where OP said he'd install a firewallIt's completely fine if you're not stupid
>>107643254NTA but the audio has been randomly disconnecting and making broken sounds since septemberThe devs said they're looking into it but radio silence and no progress sinceI've been on mint for years but this is REALLY annoying me to the point where I'm seriously considering switching to windows 7 myself
>>107643357windows 7 is pretty much linux mint without all the warts of linux so I'd give it a shoti have encountered the audio issue you're describing myself only once or twice so it's not a big deal. if i were to guess it's probably due to that oldhead developer getting kicked out not long ago
>>107642240Why would you waste time tinkering with an old windows version when you could just install Linux and get all the benefits?
>>107642240>>107642294tempted to swap to windows 7 on my gaming pc, really unsure as to what I should be doing when swapping, I've changed OS's a bunch this year going from windows, to mint, arch, cachy and then back to windows cause I bought a meta headset and all the third party fixes just didn't work.How good does Win7 work nowadays and what would I have to do? Really miss it
