whats with all the negative sentiment on older windows versions?
>don't use xp, look at this video, the minute he connects to the Internet he's already got a virus!!!!!!!
that isn't even remotely true and in that video he clearly states that he turned off the firewall and purposefully opened up a backdoor to his computer
ive literally been using Windows 7 since its launch and my computer still works perfectly fine

For me it's just how Windows behaves in general. Once I moved to Debian in 2009, I never looked back and I was right to do so.

because alpine linux lxqt is faster than windows 7 on my computer

Why would someone use a bloated, shitty os with no modern driver support, whose appearance can easily be emulated by most DEs?

There is no linshit DE that replicates Windows 7. Even if you somehow manage to get the theme pixel perfect (which you won't), as soon as you open the start menu you'll see the lack of MSPaint, lack of Notepad, lack of Snipping Tool and Calculator, lack of Windows Explorer, lack of Control Panel, etc.

90% of those negative comments come from linux trannies who want to bully you into installing their inferior operating system, or at least make you update to feed their ego and pretend that they have any power over people on the internet, because thats the only sort of power they can get in their life.
>>107850182
Those reskins are like trannies, no matter how hard they pretend to be something they are not, they will never actually be that thing and you will always be able to tell the difference. Windows 7 runs almost all software and hardware thats actually worth one's time, and still does it much better than linux.

baby ducks don't like to discuss how the webification of windows began with the integration of internet explorer in 1998
http://toastytech.com/guis/win98.html
>When Windows 98 starts, it launches the "enhanced" Windows Explorer, which is integrated with Microsoft's Internet Explorer product. This is done for the "benefit of the consumer". What it really does is add unnecessary clutter to the display and slows down the system. It also provides an excuse for Microsoft to continue bundling IE with Windows.
http://toastytech.com/guis/wxp.html
>The main control panel has been changed to a web page although most of the control panel applets are still tabbed dialog boxes. Some of the applets such as the user management control panel have been changed to a webby interface.
http://toastytech.com/guis/win72.html
>Like XP and Vista, the control panel is still a mess of web pages.
my lxqt desktop feels like windows 2000 without internet explorer

The only true part of your statement, to which lincucks will come up with a trillion copes, as usual, but they're all bandaid solutions that go against their "shared resources" model and it remains a fundamental problem in linux.

explorer is ok if you disable the detail pane, enable the menu bar, status bar and remove the folderband by patching shellstyle with resourcehacker. might as well just use linux lol
i don't like windows 7 ms paint
i don't care for notepad, snipping tool, calculator, the webby control panel

>Most good windows software still doesn't work on linux.
The funny thing is that more Windows software runs on Linux than on Windows itself, not to mention that most good Linux software doesn't work on Windows either
>Linux still has very mid hardware compatibility and requires manual tinkering to make stuff work.
Every single hardware I ever used just worked out of the box on Linux without any configuration. Windows neither recognized my USB microphone nor my printer without hours of tinkering.
>Linux still has no decent, working way of installing software.
You literally open the software center and click install. Also every software offers installation packages for Linux now that you can just download and double click to install in case it isn't in the repos.
>Linux still needs a fuck ton of trickery to make it work in air-gapped environment. Linux still is made by communists, trannies and pedophiles for communists, trannies and pedophiles (no pun intended).
Whatever that means wincuck.

How much HRT you had to take in order to make such statements?
>Every single hardware I ever used just worked out
Can you linux trannies use any other argument that "skill issue" or "works on my machine" ? Being able to boot on a smart toaster is one thing, but getting all your peripherals to work is something completely different.
>You literally open the software center and click install
Those are glorified wrappers around debs, rpms, flatpaks, snaps or any other faggotry maintainers come up with, because you just can't make a decent equivalent of exe or msi installer.
>Whatever that means wincuck
It means that very pushy, obsessed and self-righteous people who have no responsibilities (because they do it for free) offer you very shitty, inferior operating system and have the audacity to tell you what you can do on it at the same time.
