I’ve been running Linux Mint for over four years and was happy with it until the recent drama, especially the AI security scan fiasco. It really shook my trust in the maintainers.

I started looking for alternatives, but after testing hundreds of distros, none of them met my expectations for stability and reliability. I began to accept that my system would just break from time to time until I found a thread recommending Windows Seven as a rock-solid alternative.

After researching, it turns out this version is still surprisingly usable. It’s stable, reliable, and with extended updates plus a good firewall, security isn’t a major issue.

Has anyone else tried this? How did it go for you? Personally, I haven’t run into a single problem so far.

I wish you would be as cute as picrel and running Linux. But sadly you mentioned W*n7 and this is a psyop. Such a shame, we could listen to richard stallmans speech on free software, while bro hugging in bed.

What expectations for stability and reliability did you not manage to meet with the same never upgrade anything approach as you get with abandonware / placebosecurity version 7?

>>107666338
I mean, I originally recommended ubuntu for being justwerkz
you're the one proposing autistic shit like caring about snap, like who the fuck cares, it works for the end-users
