Why are you so obsessed with getting updates? Do you actually spend the entire day searching for them?Just stick with LTS or ESR software and never deal with that hassle again.
Because they run nuclear reactors which power the hospitals and the stock exchange. Very serious users these updooters are, anon, dealing with the most sensitive information that holds the nuclear launch codes.
They cannot miss an updoot or the hydroplants they operate could be compromised by the bad actors. I mean have seen the gorillion dollar savings they possess? Gotta protect all that fuck you money with updoots, if you know what I mean, anon.
I mean seriously, who would want to see an airplane accident involving a hacked system in charge of diverting air collision traffic? These updooters, anon, are dealing with some serious shit.
Updates 75% of the time just break things that work. And yes this was the case 30 years ago too.
>nooooooo i must use 30 year old software for my trans rights 486 pc
Why are you obsessed with people who install updates? You're replying to yourself over and over.
>>108682775>You mustLiterally the official policy of every corpo today
>>108682581securitardism
>>108682581>>108682877lol go to the graphene os discord and tell them you "figured out a way to turn off the annoying weekly automatic updates" and watch like 4 terminally on discord trannies screech at you
>>108682581I'm not. I use Windows 7. I also have a job making about $120k only saying this to preempt the NEET accusations.I can unironically do everything I need to do from my now 13 year old thinkpad and windows 7.
>>108682581I actually really fell for this image like two years ago and made not updating software a part of my personality. I thought I was so cool for staying on the "old version".The thing is, unless it's a project on GitHub like a game source port where the old version is easily and safely accessible (and the new version objectively worsens the experience, and the old version still works) there is no reason to update. Except, usually the old versions are only accessible through some ghetto ass downgrade software like with macOS OR the old version stops working and needs a ghetto ass patching software to run again. Perhaps after that you can use an activator script, too! Trust me bro massgraveDOTdev tootally legit. Just run as Admin.Obviously the new version is going be different. it isn't always bad. OP pic is expertly designed ragebait for autistic people who don't like change. It couldn't be any better. It's not directly addressing it, but making a character you "don't want to be" so then you really won't do it. Don't fall for it bros
>>108683261>I don't NEED a car, my bicycle is fine
LTS is supremely comfy until you actually do need something fairly recent, at which point it can quickly spiral into an autistic rabbit hole.
.
>>108682581>Do you actually spend the entire day searching for them?Searching? Searching for what?I just run a command once a day, do you think that is too much?
>>108683283that's bad analogybut you don't know enough about the history of computing to ever understand why
>>108683379Windows 11 has objectively greater capabilities than Windows 7, perfectly suitable analogy. I'm sure 7 is fine for a narrower set of functions.
>>108683283it's more like I don't NEED a 2026 car, my 2007 econobox is fine (and in fact preferable in the vast majority of cases).The autist community surrounding Win7 has gotten to the point where most software that isn't "supported" can still run. If not for this and open source stuff made for Windows 7, then I would indeed be having a much more difficult time. But the analogy you're making is very inaccurate.>>108683407I'm sure it does, but I have to use 11 for work and it's the worst OS I've ever used, worse even than 10 which I didn't think was possible. I know it has more features or whatever but frankly I cannot name anything that comes to mind as a new feature that's actually useful. Could you name some? I'm genuinely curious.The only differences I notice are practically all for the worse. >Inconsistent UI>clicking the time on the taskbar opens up some weird window filled with bullshit instead of showing the calendar>everything lags and is slower on my work laptop despite being literally 13 years newer and having 32GB of memory compared to my shitbox thinkpad>you now need to click "show more options" just to get to a normal context menu from a right click>and so on etc etc
>>108683435Snap layoutsVirtual desktopsBetter multi-monitor supportWhen I click the time on my taskbar it shows the calendar, and that calendar has a built-in timer
>>108682581I must update because I am waiting for improvements for the feature that I actually like using. Example: jellyfin install on a NAS system that requires a new driver so I update so the ffmpeg will work on the nas.
>>108683507>Snap layouts>Virtual desktops>Better multi-monitor supportI had a feeling these might be brought up. Not trying to be smug, but I already have the first two. I have them even on my Windows XP computers. It's true that now they're incorporated into the OS, but I don't really see any functional difference/advantage in doing that versus having 3rd party software to do the same thing.In case anyone is interested:For snapping and tiling windows, I use AquaSnap. It works well but some features aren't there if you don't get the "Pro" version, which I don't have. I find the free functionality about on par with newer windows.For multiple desktops, I use Dexpot. Works great.I will admit that I often have multiple monitor headaches on my computer especially when I leave home and come back to plug it back into its dock, so you do have a point there. But on the whole, as you can see, many of the newer features added in windows just add the functionality of existing 3rd party applications, many of which work very well.
>>108683435>windows babby>thinks all software gets worseI pity you, enjoy your exploits
>>108683614>I had a feeling these might be brought up. Not trying to be smug, but I already have the first two. I have them even on my Windows XP computers. It's true that now they're incorporated into the OS, but I don't really see any functional difference/advantage in doing that versus having 3rd party software to do the same thing.Why are you being gaslit by a retard anyway? The only thing Vista+ is lacking proportional window scaling and multi-monitor taskbars. It'd be one thing if they were talking about xp, but we're talking about aero snap, here's a gorillan different multi-output projection modes, here's a multi-seat desktop server os era of windows. The only thing you needed to point out was, something something, "multi-desktop support has always been an officially supported thing requiring third party software """and a server license""""
>>108683675we're not talking about Linux though. My home server runs linux. Why would I use linux on my home daily PC when I have the best home OS ever made already on it and also I'm a contrarian faggot lolalso even if we were talking about linux updates the updooter mindset is still annoying.
>>108683706>Hurr why would I need security updates for software? My great grandpa's shovel from 1923 works fine!Total zoomzoom who never installed XP back in the day just to instantly get 0 click malware. Imprinted on Windows 7 like a baby duck. Lmao.
>>108683704>Why are you being gaslit by a retard anyway?I'm traveling for work and now it's my weekend but I don't get to go home because I'm on call so I literally have nothing better to do right now. I'm already suffering and doomed to just sit here and do nothing so I don't really care about engaging right now here. Not like anyone was ever gonna convince me to use 11, lol. When I have to use it for work I want to kill myself
>>108683300Did a 12 year old make this? Holy fuck
>>108682581If the Linux desktop continues to improve, then I want those improvements now rather than later. Windows is a different story, as it has long since passed its zenith.
>>108683885it's a 'jak so, yes, probably
>>108683897What’s there to improve? XFCE works perfectly well.>gaylandDon't care.
>>108682581I don't update anything unless it breaks. Most often that means when a website starts giving me errors because YOUR LE BROWSER IS LE OUT OF DOOOOT!Everything else just doesn't get updatedwindows 7 btw
>>108683162Weekly updates are a sure way to destroy your flash memory.
i warned updooters that they were going to have malware or vulnerabilities installed via updooting and they didn't listen
>>1086825811 i get new features2 keep everything up to date seems to fix things more often than breaking themAversion to updating stuff is caused by shitty proprietary software like windows, there is a reason why most linux powerusers will gravitate towards rolling release distros like arch
>>108683716>"i saw a youtube video once"better a baby duck than a zoomer fudtard with low standards
>>108684669yeah, rolling release distros are famous for stability
>>108684682The distros themselves are stableIf your apps break on every update then get better apps.
>>108684675I'm a Millenial. I installed XP when it was new. I got malware instantly without clicking on anything You are a retard who doesn't understand computers and can't imagine people born before the year 2000 post here.
>>108682581>keep everything updated>still getting hacked
>>108684777no, you are a retard
>>108684936Yes, my memory is false. I didn't live through 9/11. The world began 17 years ago when you were born and since you imprinted on Windows 7 cannot fathom using anything different. You are right. My bad.
>>108684953hey i'm not the one who doesn't use a firewall
>>108685036You do realize XP didn't have a firewall built in? No, you don't, because you started on Windows 7. Zoom zoom.
>>108685044i'm not talking about windows firewall
>run windows 7 from 2013 with updates disabled>use LTSC 2021 in 2023 with updates disabled>never had a virus or been hacked>password is literally hunter2 and pokemon9 for everything>friends are fully up to date on the latest versions, secure boot, TPM, password manager, two factor etc.>they still get hackedUser error 99% of the time.
>>108685115You just got lucky, okay? You NEED those security updates if you don't want to get superhacked through a 0day any day now.
>>108682581Why is your agency so hellbent on getting people not to update? Do you have some good malware coming up?You should be more concerned with getting conscripted and used as a condom by chechens.
i have never seen anyone samefag this hard. it's impressive in a way. and seething over such an inane topic, op must truly be autistic.
>>108685044>You do realize XP didn't have a firewall built in? Do you realise people took steps to plug the holes before connecting to the internet? Why do you assume that everyone must have been a retard? Everyone had their own MUST HAVE essential software, browser add-ons, codecs, plug-ins and so on after a fresh install.
>tfw debian 13 will be the last distro you use for the rest of your lifethanks trannies
>>108685161>Why is your agency so hellbent on getting people not to update?Why is your agency so hellbent on getting people to install worthless slop?>Do you have some good malware coming up?Forced telemetry and advertisment elements within windows isn't going to make windows users pay for a Copilot subscription.>You should be more concerned with getting conscripted and used as a condom by chechens.Stay mad.
>>108682581i update kicad because they actually add new, useful features with each update. i can't think of any other piece of software that i use where updating has improved my experience -- it either stays the same or, more commonly, gets worse.
>>108682581because updooting gives me a sense of purpose since i'm a neet, same with distro hopping.
>>108685115OH NOOO YOUR PASSWORD WAS LEAKED!!!!! TO THE 4CHAN HACKER DATABASE, CHANGE IT NOOOOOWWWWW!!!!! *RED FLASHING BACKGROUND*
>>108682581I always only update 5 months later of release, but it depends sometimes, if my current shit is broken and requires a fix in said update, or if there is a really good feature that I need.
I type yay -Syu --noconfirm multiple times a day
>>108684669pretty much this
>>108685115>they still get hackedno they don't
>>108684682maybe you should stop using memes as your source of information
>>108682775I actually like the idea of reviving some old machines. Finding that old software and getting it to function well, like when it was the new hotness.Did that with 7, vista and xp a few years ago. Maybe will try 2000 next. But I'm not very familiar, I knew that all kinds of fancy software existed for XP, but no idea what people used in the 90's.Only thing I'm worry about is how stable would it be. Pretty sure odl software was far less stable, oder of magnitude probably. Otherwise than that old software is great.
>>108685865>NO USo, they actually pay you for this? How embarrassing.
>>108686648coming from the updooter
>>108688855Oh no I install security and feature updates which improve my experience. The Windows babby cannot fathom this because every update makes things worse. Not a problem for Linux chads.
>>108688878i've had both arch and debian testing systems commit suicide from updates
>>108688887>archYou do it to yourself, you do, and that's why it really hurts>Debian testingIt's called testing for a reason
>>108688887Those systems really must have hated you, anon.
>>108688901let us hear of these stable rolling-release systems
>>108688907wake up, honey, it's time for your daily lennartware patch
>>108688908"Stable" and "rolling release" are antonyms. You can't have a stable release if you are constantly "rolling"— it may not crash, it may be "reliable" but it isn't stable in the sense of "Debian stable".For a rolling release that actually tests stuff you can check out openSUSE Tumbleweed but again, not "stable"... they have Leap for that.
>>108688957so you agree, but you were pretending to argue, as is the fashion on this shit imageboard these daysstupid nigger
>>108686684>but no idea what people used in the 90's.Windows 95 was the most fun era for software imo, when cd-rom was new and exciting and publishers were experimenting with the new possibilities. Install Plus and Encarta to start with.
>>108688779>Be microcuck @jeetmond>Make retarded decisions that backfire>The core userbase complains, seeks for remedies and alternatives >Block all attempts of users trying to downgrade>Cut the security updoots to the old yet popular OS because that is easier than admitting that they failed >Want le updoots? - updoot to the new normal OS, goy!>Oh it runs like shit? It must your shitbox, goy. >Just updoot to the latest and greatest TPM and AI-Recall enabled hardware, goy.>No? What are you poor? >Hackers get involved>XP/Win7 on Modem Hardware community is born>Microcuck marketing kikes are in the panic (and damage control) >They know the investors are sharpening their axes already >Some delusional anon joins the chat>No uU wish.
>>108682581I’ve had the opposite experience, actually. I tried installing XP on an old laptop and then some old software with zero connection to internet and everything works great. It’s really cool.
