so what is good about windows 7?turns out its not just only about using old computers but HDDs as wellyou can make a web browsing computer out of windows 7 parts and installing them on a HDDits hard to find a SATA SSD for all the computers you own but everyone has like dozens of 2.5" HDDs laying around at home with no useyou cant even put 2.5" in RAID systems because they are less than 1TB of size, so practically useless as storagehowever they can run Windows 7 and fucntion as an OS drive just fine>you cannot use Windows 10/11 with a HDD it will be too slow>you cannot use modern Linux with a HDD its equally slow>windows 7 is truly fastest on HDD (win xp was faster but its completely useless today)also note that you cant even install XP these days, you would need to fetch hardware from year 2012win 7 on the other hand does install in about year 2017 hardware altough not into more recent
>>109006084The only thing good about Windows 7 is nostalgia and all of the memories you made in video games with friends when Windows 7 was the main thing.It's a completely mid operating system, Windows 8.1 beats every version in raw power, and Vista looks better than 7.
>>109006084>>you cannot use modern Linux with a HDD its equally slowWhich distro did you test?
>>109006220He didn't test shit, his post is just a bunch of larping.
>>109006084>AI OP
>>109006226>>109006220Debian and ArchArch would be the most recent stuff ever, Debian uses older and stable, yet modern, software versions
>>109006084Do not install Windows 7 it has multiple zero days used by NSA/CIA/FBI/Palantir etc. and is SPYWARE. Image is aerothemeplasma, protect your privacy, install Linux and aerothemeplasma. DO NOT THROW AWAY YOUR PRIVACY holy shit.
>>109006293I dont want privacyAlso I dont care if someone hacks THIS computer or THIS internet device, I dont use them for anything except for anonymous internet postings.I also dont care if they somehow dig out my real identity because I never post anything illegal.
>>109006329Ok so prove it by posting everything your ISP and VPN provider (if you use one) have about you. So all full official names, address, payment information (remember to include all information needed to use your card or payment option), IP address and also include all fingerprintable information that you can get out of your full system and local network.
>>109006366lol, why would I do that?I am saying, if there is an worm in internet which attacks automatically and steals all my info, so be itIt would still be stupid to voluntarily post everything for everyone to see(I dont actually believe such a worm and such holes exist in Windows 7 but I am willing to find out)
>>109006210This honestly, by preserving Windows 7 and trying to make it work in current year, it's like people are preserving their youth.
i'm using ltsc 2021 on a 5400 RPM HDD and it's running fine
>>109006084Ironically Windows 8/8.1 runs the best on that type of hardware as they made a lot of core optimizations to the OS so it would run smoother on the shitty Atom/ARM tablets they were trying to push at the time. The optimizations also apply to mid-late 2000s Core 2 Duo systems and such.
Install Gentoo.
>>109006442Oh so you care about privacy. Holy fucking retard.
>>109006484I am sure Win 7 is a bit faster
>>109006560Windows 8.1 factually uses the least amount of resources and has the most raw power.A lot of people forget what Windows 8.1 was made for, they legitimately stripped like 40% of Windows out of it.
>>109006084>zero lag>best inferface>best defaults>least bloat>all the best programs were developed for it that only got bloated and broken afterwards, not improvedit's the best made operating system there ever was and everything is a step down from it, including systemd/linux which can hardly compete with even XP in terms of usability and function.
>>109006084you cannot be using windows 7 forever,bite the bullet and learn some linux os now.not the bloated ones, just go with arch or void.learn once = use forever>and yes they do run on old pieces of shit>a few years ago I was running a netbook for old games>linux can run from old pieces of shit to modern>for 32bit go with void or debian, they still offer it
>>1090060848 years ago there were threads about windows xp, now it’s about windows 7.
>>109006570>windows 8 is reduced windowsso you are saying windows 8:s 32-bit version did not run old 32-bit programs which still were running in windows 7 (old enough, they would be from around years 2003 to 2010)?32-bit programs past 2010 would anyway use .NET architecture at such levels which are already built in in Windows 8 (NET 4.5 was built in 8 and 4.0 was built in 7, and NET 1.0 came way back in 2002)
>>109006210I was still using windows 7 in 2019 thought, I’m not going to post shit like zoomer equivalent to "only 90's kids remember".
>>109006210Too bad 8.1 looks like absolute ass aesthetically. Maybe that’s why it ran better.
>>109006210t. dumb zoomer
>>109006584>learn once = use foreverSo true, when I went from 7 to Linux in early '24, at first I'm like wtf is this, but then you get used to Linux and they way things are done and begin to think "why in the fuck doesn't windows work like this?"
>>109006622Dead simple to install an Aero theme to make it look a lot nicer.
>>109006642I remember years ago obsessing on making a default Windows 10 installation more lihtweight and ready, (yes LTSB/C)>disabling services>registry edits>group policy>deleting files from /windows to debloatthen most of what I was learning and applying would be null because the next update would instroduce new shit or change the names of the old shit so I would have to research all over again,then windows 11 came and I just got fed up with this shit.this isn't a steady OS, this is literally a metastatic cancer,changes all the time for the worse.Ditching windows forever was one of the most important things of my life, and I fucking grew up with this shit since my first computer was windows 98
>>109006220>>109006258It's not about the distro, it's about the DE. The most recent XFCE (Arch) will be faster than "stable" GNOME 3 (Debian). And you can always squeeze more performance out of old hardware with tiling WMs, or stacking ones like Openbox and IceWM.
>>109006701>It's not about the distro, it's about the DE.distros are about appstore repositories and DEs, the entire point it to get a premade solution that's already set up to work together rather than throw together totally different components with equally asinine defaults.
>>109006293Delete the "7" in your post and it will be more honest. Windows 7 is not worse than 10 or 11 when it comes to glowie backdoors and spyware.
>>109006329>Also I dont care if someone hacks THIS computer or THIS internet device, I dont use them for anything except for anonymous internet postingsSame but it does offend me that theyre bloating my network traffic. I only get 1.25TB a month, the NSA should pay me for my bandwidth theyre stealing.
>>109006210Replace "Windows 7" with "Windows 95" or "XP" then I would agree
>>109006084win7 is even faster with an ssd
>>109006695>Ditching windows forever was one of the most important things of my life,Same, I was having anxiety about the future of my computer for years when I was on 7 because support was eventually gonna go, and, anything past skylake and AMD FX straight up cannot run Windows 7 without a bunch of fuckery that isn't worth it, but it's all gone now and I'm happy to have something usable and supported, and I can get a new computer. which is a good thing, even though people act like it isn't.
>>109007113Actually Ryzen 1.gen (also 1. gen Threadripper with all those cores and threads) ran perfectly, incompatibility starts at 2nd gen (no chipset drivers)
>>109007113just embrace your software as-is instead of hoping that "support" benefits you instead of enshittifying what you already have and fucking you over
>>109006584>those iconsare you still living in 2001?
>>109007305Yeah Anon, support kinda does benefit you if you want a computer newer than what Windows 7 supports.
>>109007338usecase for a newer machine if all the extra specs will be eaten by bloated programs and memory leaks?
>>109007348Your specs don't get eaten, at least not on based Linux, they likely do on Windows 11 and that's why the Windows 7 users are allergic to stuff that can't run it, but that's a proprietary software problem, not the fault of newer hardware, which goes faster and uses less energy than ever, it's embarrassing when I'm clinging onto windows 7 like a loser, and people with 15W ultrabook processors are giving me a run for my money and I have a 125W processor overclocked that heats up the fucking room when you loaded it up and still isn't really blowing anyone away on benchmarks if they had RYZEN.
>>109007376>Your specs don't get eaten, at least not on based Linuxsystemd/linux or systemd+linux as i've come to call it, disagrees.> they likely do on Windows 11is bringing up failed jeetweare like win11 the only way to compare loonix in positive light?
>>109007396>like an irrelevant unsupported OSit's more relevant than the entire world of loonix desktop but i guess ad hominem attacks are the only thing you have left>where microsoft has been trendingthe whole argument started because you were angry about me embracing my software as-is instead of hoping that future updooting will help you, and suggesting that you should too.>Microsoft has always hated your guts, even during Windows 7regardless of how much you attribute human emotions to souless corporations they could produce a tool that's head and shoulders above anything linux can hope to offer not just now but in the future decades, without going into delusional activist dilation activities over whether redhat or canonical are as bad as microsoft from 20 years ago.
>>109007430>you were angry about me embracing my software as-isI don't care what you do with your OS Anon, in fact nobody cares because they're not supporting it, you and the very niche community of people are gonna have to help each other make it work, sort of like a Linux distro, but without the support you get from having a new kernel, because you're still on the same NT 6.1 kernel from 2009.
>>109007509>i'm quite satisfied with the functionality i currently have
>>109007316I posted an example of linux running on a piece of shit netbookI thought it was obvious from the specs and me saying > I was running a netbook for old gamesbut I guess it was too cryptic for massive retarded faggots like you to understand.
>>109007567 >>109007316nothing wrong with those icons, they are comfy AF
>>109006293very cool but >kde
>>109006084LTSB 2016 works great off an HDD. It's actually quite a decent OS, and there are drivers even for NVIDIA 7000 series. Its support ends this year, but you should be able to run more modern software. Also, you can disable svchost split on low-memory machines via registry.
>>109007543the only thing they're constantly breaking compatibility with is web browsing and so far there are two versions of completely up to date modern browsers that work on win7 but so far i'm posting from my older version of ungoogled chromium and it's worked flawlessly for all websites that i visited with few exceptions, i use supremium for anime websites, xtoys and used to watch youtube there because my tweaking caused youtube to shadowban me by making videos stop loading after 40s and i didn't bother fixing it until i switched to youtube-local which runs fine in my chromium again.all in all i'm more worried about the state of the internet as a whole breaking down and becoming unusable than i am about my system's ability to connect to it and if it ever happens i'd be fine with using my pc as a mostly offline machine.
>>109007726>i'd be fine with using my pc as a mostly offline machine.That's easier said than done, Anon.
>>109007348>memory leaksDid you learn about this term yesterday?
>>109006725how exactly are you getting a premade solution with Arch, one of the original examples? if you can't be assed to install a lightweight DE then use a distro that's meant to be lightweight like [X/L]ubuntu, MX, antiX or whatever else
>>109007772Using your PC offline is literally the easiest and default choice, just dont pay for an ISP. You already did extra work to have internet.
>>109007624>you can disable svchost splituse case for making windows less multithreaded?
>>109006084>you cannot use Windows 10/11 with a HDD; it will be too slow>you cannot use modern Linux with a HDD; it's equally slow>>109006463>a 5400 RPM HDD>>109007624>LTSB 2016 works great off a HDDDo you recall which drive(s)?
>>109006210fpbp and /thread
>>109006642>when I went from 7 to Linuxwhy a GNUnixoid is never able to explain the details? its always some fancy personal fairy tale nobody cares about, like those positive reviews bots do. what are you selling here? why? do you get paid for it?
>>109010150It's at best a "misery loves company" thing - at worst a "drug addict trying to get you hooked too so he doesn't feel like so much of a piece of shit" thing.It's why they're always trying to sneak Linux onto their parents' machines etc.
>please of runnings deprecated OS so can add computer to botnets thanksNice try, Olga.
>>109010207I'll sneak Linux on your machine, Anon.
>>109007430microsoft is like that autistic guy that is a genius but his own autism makes him totally useless
>>109006084>>you cannot use modern Linux with a HDD its equally slowYa this pisses me off. I went to put Linux on some of machine of mine with a HDD and it ran like shit. Linux is a total lie that it runs well on old hardware. It's hard to find a use-case for Linux these days.
>>109010207GNUnixoids cosplay resistance to corporations while their behaviour is perfectly aligned with updooot policy.alternative cannot be purely ideological, otherwise it would be a fake alternative, statements must be supported by implementation. GNUnix follows mainstream windows, so they are perfectly aligned
>>109010352What did the schizo mean by this
>>109007624The issue with using old versions of Windows 10 is that a lot of software identify "Windows 10" as just one whole operating system and don't differentiate between 1507-22H2, even though they are all basically their own separate versions of Windows. They just assume you're using 22H2 and are developed as such, which causes some conflicts with some software and drivers.
>>109010352I thought I was clearly implying that they're brainless NPCs without any self-control and literally no lives, happy to be led about by the nose.If I failed to: they're brainless NPCs without any self-control and literally no lives, happy to be led about by the nose.
>>109011400the resistance and opposition is real though, those public photos doesnt assume there is a conspiracy between them.
Isn't 7 a security nightmare these days since it's been abandoned for so long?
>>109011484Yep. However, being behind a NAT affords you some protection.Once you have connected a socket to somewhere else though, all bets are off when you have a Swiss-cheese network stack/ancient web browser/low IQ zoomer who thinks that unconditional love for a cartoon mascot is a substitute for security.This is the thing the baby ducks can't understand.
>>109011475**dont prove a conspiracy**, ye

>>109011484I'm still using it.Zero problems. My biggest problem was when I disabled sandboxie and accidentally nuked my browser settings. oopsie poopsie.
Whats the ebst web browser to use with Win7? Ive been using Waterfox, but something somewhere updated and now its fucking with all my shit. Maybe websites themselves updated to a newer version of something, and now Im getting problems logging into things and uploading files.
>>109009538Some laptop Seagate 5400RPM drive from 2008.
>>109011484I wouldn't say so at all. >>109012187I'm using the latest version of Firefox ESR 115. It works for most sites. Supermium works for every site and I use it for the ones that give me problems. R3dfox is also good.

Saars do not redeem windows 7, please update sirs you have 0days russia bitcoin miner trojan.
>>109012291R3dfox and Supermium both work for almost every siteThere are zero sites that wont open with Supermium, R3dfox has a problem with one obscure Finnish mongol-basket weaving forumFirefox doesnt open that mongol forum either.4chan works with stuff that is 6 years old, I literally used 6 year old Opera version and was able to send a post here

>>109018399>Windows 7>Unc7 is Zoomer as hell, I'm right on the edge of an Unc and a Zoomer and I was only 14 when Windows 7 came out, and I had already used Vista and XP in rapid sucesison, but Windows 7 just lived so goddamn unusually long, that you might have kids born on the late 90s early 2000s that have really only used Windows 7 in their entire life, it was a huge part of my life, still a waste of time to be trying to cling onto the motherfucker but it stuck around long enough for people to become attached to it and think it's the only OS that exists.
>>109018451If you consider 7 zoomer, 10 is orders of magnitudes more grim and shitty. Damn, that says a lot about how bad 10 is.And for my next trick, you will respond referencing LTSC!
