Why did we love Windows 7?
We did we love playing with rubber duckies in the bath?That's your answer.
>>109183921Incoherent fan fiction from some updooter doesn't answer anything I'm afraid
it's when making a good working os for customers affected microsoft's revenue
>>109183913It was the last windows made a desktop friendly gui.Telemetry was only just getting started.It was the last windows before everything became a chrome webshitter thing.It was the last windows I used on a personal machine.
the same reason you should use windows 11 ltsc, it just works, clean UI, can disable all the telemetry if you desire, like what the fuck are you waiting for?
oh wow I just tested it, you can uninstall edge from windows 11 ltsc, yeah this is based, this is Windows 11 as it should be.
>>109183965look how you cannot hide the pinned category even though there's nothing pinned lol. fuck this fucking garbage os.
>>109183913It literally just worked.
>>109183977thats just how it looks OOTB, and classic shell exists if you want the old 7 start menu back, your complaints are meaningless.
>>109183977boy that was so hard, idk how I ever managed to make it look like this. man looks like I might need to switch to Linux with my mastery of Windows 11. fucking faggot ass bitch. why the fuck are you like this?
>>109184042>no trvaero, not even transparent, ugly icons
>>109184056I spend most time creating music or playing video games or day trading, I ain't looking at the icons. Linux can't keep up with Windows. I tried, Linux failed. The tool is not good enough.
Because it got out of my way and let me use my computer.
>>109184099okay yeah if those are your main tasks I tend to agree. You tried bitwig yet tho?
I never liked it but I liked 8.1, didn't like xp either I actually used linux for a while back when windows 7 was the latest
>>109184126its not the apps that were the biggest problem I had with Linux, it was how unstable it got after like the most basic use. Like within weeks it would just blow up requiring me to trouble shoot it. Fedora gave me the easiest time with Linux but, I need my computer to actually function.
>>109184136back when Ubuntu was actually worth using over XP and 7. back when Linux was stable for more than a week.
>>109183913>Why did we love Windows 7?I didn't. In fact no version of windows has ever been lovable. It was just the last decent version before it went off a cliff.Have been using Linux on everything I could get away with since 2016. Replaced my last windows 7 machine with linux in 2021.
>>109184136its funny I hated XP and 7, Went from Windows 2000 to Linux, then to a Mac for a while, now back to a high end gaming PC, and believe me I tried Linux on this and Linux is a fucking minefield of problems. then the other users>oh ho ho ho look at you neub *fat rolls jiggling*>learn to use Linux>works on my machine>phlrrrttthhhh uuuhhh immma wetawd and wetz not wewk togethew nooo that would be smawt no letz fight ova systemd kde guhnome cuz the g aint silent bcuz im a massive fag who cut hiz wewe offgod damn I hate what happened to Linux. But Windows 11 LTSC is great. Thank God.
>>109184173>using wired mouse in 2020+6Everything you said, and your opinions go straight to TRASH my duderino.
>>109184231I had one, but it died. I need to order another one.
>>109184266Buy one that uses AA/AAA battery.
>duderinoDo you fucking hear yourself? Blow it out your ass faggot.
>>109184293I threw it because I got pissed off at Linux for breaking for the 9th goddamn time in 6 weeks. Linux is nothing but a test of fucking patience.
>>109183913Who is we? People that cared about raw performance knew that 8.1 was superior.Windows 7 is just nostalgia bait because one of your first or second PCs had it and you gamed/spent most of the time on it, the OS is mid as fuck.
>>109183921could you be more esl and nonwhite
>>109184309Why are you using a meme distro?There's no excuse for running a linux system that breaks every other week.
>>109184309Only fedora linux just works, rest are garbage.
>>109184353it was fedora you dumbass tranny faggot, fucking hell bazzite was just as terrible, as was ubuntu and linux mint, like why the fuck are desktop icons so goddamn complicated? Why is it so hard to install apps outside the repos? And why do some distros use graphical front ends like Debian for updates but Arch forces you into the goddamn terminal? Linux is awful. It is just the worst. Anyone who finds their home there, just know I lose all respect for you, but I hope you do make it better than it is because the state that it's in, is like living in hell or a 3rd world country. You say you are free but you spend so much time babysitting the fucking thing hoping it don't blow up.
>>109184363The command prompt is like zoolatto cryptonite
>>109183913os for kids, as every windows isif you likes it you were just a kid that liked colorful things
>>109184377I left MS Dos back in 1994 where the fuck it belongs. I lived through the dark ages you pretend to love.
>>109184363Well what's your PC parts?I am using amd 5600x and radeon 6800xI am tripple booting hackintosh tahoefedoraand win 11everything runs smooth for me.why so angry?
>>109183913I tried Windows 7 on my desktop, and it was a great experience. My only issue was that I could never fully trust using such old Microsoft software. It was always in the back of my mind that it probably isn't a good idea in the long run.
>>109183993Lol I don't spend all day tinkering with shit on my OS. I don't want to overwrite my systems start menu. Last time I installed classic shell my system started to get blue screens down the line anyways, turns out modifying system files on an operating system not designed for it isn't good.Either the OS works by default, or I can build a correctly working system. I do not want to install a system, and then replace half of the shit. Let me build windows up from a CLI with my own shell, then we can talk. But injecting shit into and replacing the default shell? No way. That is sketchy as Fuck, and causes obvious system instability.The difference is windows 7 didn't need to be TINKERED WITH all day, maybe just clicking a button to change default apps. I never had to "debloat" my system, and I never had to REPLACE CORE SYSTEM FUNCTIONALITY. But windows 11? Its so good that they don't include an option for alternative GUIs, instead you have to install random software off the internet. I never had to "turn off the telemetry" or "disable ads" because it just fucking worked, unlike windows 11. I stopped using windows the second I installed 11 and realized I couldn't even move the fucking taskbar to the left side. Apparently they added that back in an update, but it's too late. I've had Linux installs working for multiple years now without all the bullshit, I just use them and they work exactly how I set up. Especially my servers, just untouched for multiple years with only security updates. I'm never worrying about new copilot features or trying to "turn off the telemetry".
>>109183913Posting from an ancient WIN7 terminal because I thought it'd be funny. It still runs fairly smoothly with web browsing on 4GB. >>109184231>using wired mouse in 2020+6not the OP, but I use a hybrid wired and wireless mouse. I have no idea why it isn't more common. Having to go to the store to buy more batteries just to use your mouse rather than just plugging it in and having it work is just baffling to me. With a hybrid, you can have the clean and free wireless mouse experience, then swap to a wired one while your recharging the exchangeable internal battery. If your trying to defend the classic wireless mouse that needs a subscription service to big battery to function: I'm genuinely curious, why?
>>109184389It was just called dos then zoolatto no need to pretend
>>109184142fair enough, fair enough...
>>109184426>Having to go to the store to buy more batteriesAre you mentally ill person?You buy rechargable nimh batteries Your mouse with properietary battery will be shit within one year, and your mouse will be E-WASTE.
>>109184407jesus christ it doesn't matterintel core i9 14900k, rtx 5090, 128gb DDR5 6000MT 8tb gen5 nvmeM5 Pro Max Macbook ProAnd Windows 11 LTSC and yes I purchased the licenseThe only OS to ever give me a headache this badly was current generation LinuxBecause poor people like you piss me the fuck off, not because you are poor, but because you focus on the wrong shit. I built an all AMD systemRyzen 5 5500x with a 7900GRE and 16GB DDR5 5400 and Linux was terrible on that so I built this thinking AMD was the problem, and it did help switching to intel and nvidia, it wasn't until I used it more than a goddamn week as my main and only OS, I seriously tried. Linux has no real time processing. TradingView does it's best but it can't keep up with the market so I over by 10ms and lost 140 grand you stupid piece of shit tranny, don't worry for someone like me that's piss money. I hate you goddamn weak willed simps so goddamn much, you would rather be less than a man and cut your goddamn dicks off thinking being a stupid ass woman is better... somehow, both giving up your blessing of a man and trading it for nothing, because you are still less than a woman, and now you are less than a man, always stuck in this middle section, god I would kill myself too. Fuck's sake, end your pathetic existence if this is the best you have to offer the world, because I witnessed your kind, sick in the head, just removed from your own humanity. Next time push just a little more fent to stop your heart.
>>109184456Just go full apple if you are richfag who cares.Linux was always tinker-troon option for the poor.
>>109183913UX was much better than vista and even XP. 8 was a disaster and a push for the modern UX and immense spyware. 7 was just the last OS that actually felt like you used a computer you owned (even though you actually didn't). But it felt like it. It didn't bother you with accounts or other online bullshit.
>>109184363filtered by babbys first linux>>109184450this is why i refuse to get the usbc rechargable mice. the replaceable rechargable batteries absolutely destroy the proprietary ones that can't even be replaced. G305 my beloved.>>109184456>itoddler>upset about linux>brings up trannies for no reasonRENT FREE
>>109184475I like Mac OS for like the laptop, but even Mac has real time processing, like why the fuck is Linux this bad? How does it run real time servers? Guess what they run BSD! Actually BSD runs a LOT of what Linux used to. It is just such an incomplete OS for ANYTHING you would want to use it for. I actually got one of the BSD distros up running with xfce and that was really nice. I was able to get TV to run in real time on that machine, that is the all AMD machine. BSD runs great on that. I have it hooked to a 65" TV just showing me stuff so I can glance over and stop the bot I coded. It's not that I am not smart. I can figure shit out lightning fast, Linux is super terrible. When IT came in and they switched my servers to BSD, the solar plant runs SO much goddamn smoother. We couldn't calculate outputs properly, and the counting shit was always broken on my can counter machines for 5 cent deposites, yeah I tried to run those on Linux and they had SO much down time. I had to switch those to Windows 10 IOT and that cost me a LOT of money. Why is Linux so fucking bad at EVERYTHING?
>>109184450I have all of the parts and pieces to my mouse including the hot swap boards and "proprietary battery." A big bonus is if the battery fails, it just becomes a wired mouse, unlike yours if the dongle fails. It also sucks to have to install the mouse drivers, proprietary hardware and have an account for your mouse. See: Razor.
>>109184482Did you see they updated it to the superlight version?
>>109184533Is this true? Can I get a superlight with proper battery? This is the only reason I do not own a superlight.
>>109184482Dude I put out an AD looking for people with Linux IT experience, 27 out of the 40 applicants were trans, and 8 were gay and I am not sure what 1 was a cat I think? and the other 4 were 'normal'... All 4 of them suggested that I switch to BSD, and guess who I hired. Everything fucking works. Beautifully, real time tracking, the panels actually travel with the sun now, my output is WAY up. RHEL could never keep up with BSD if it tried. I burned that contract, fuck them, canceled next quarter's payment, keep the other 2 months of my money cuz I don't need it. I hope they use it to make Linux better, maybe funnel it to fedora. The Fedora rep was a female to male tranny, I know because she was wearing the trans pin. The meme is true.
>>109184543oh shit no, but it has a higher polling rate, so I might go with that, but the normal one is 30 bucks on sale. I don't game that much, I only have the 5090 to run a local LLM
>>109184511Wow, you spent 2 hours messing around just to swap out a battery? Congrats, faggot! I just pop open my mouse, grab a recharged battery from my stash, and swap it in. Easy peasy.Also your properiatery chink battery isn't as good as nimh panasonic eneloop.Razer makes mouse with AA/AAA slot .
>>109184543Razer orochi v2 is very light mouse (I am using it right now) also it's often on sale for cheap.
>>109184543Good looking out, added to my cart, thanks anon.
>>109184554I understand your pain, sorry for doubting you, but how did you know 8 of them were gay. I understand the trannies, you can see them from miles away just by name, but how did you know 8 were gay men from their job applications? Do employers know I suck dick from my job applications??? I just got a Linux related job, could the interviewer tell I was gay before I walked in the door??? I don't even have the gay voice.Thankfully I live far enough south so I don't get many trannies at my job.
I will say this about their core Windows developer team, they know how to make a good looking OS without all the bullshit they pile on top of home and pro. They let you turn all the extra bullshit off and even let me remove edge. Just like the tool I would want it to be. Everything organized and icons stay where you put them, and it remembers window placement with a few tweaks. God Linux could never keep up.
>>109184614oh it's a thing they put in their public profiles on indeed. It is good information to know prior to meeting them, staying professional and respectful. It's not that I didn't try working with them and Linux, it just couldn't keep up with the workflow. And they would spend SO many hours just holding it up. I can connect with anyone, it's part of the charm, just being connected to the higher flow. So it's nice to put that barrier up with some people, no wrong ideas. I really did try going with Linux. My suggestion for server management, learn some BSD and learn some Windows Server. The big money servers run Windows, some run Azure but those are small fry. The massive backbone for the new 10Gbe services being rolled out soon, I am currently on 1Gbe. All the fiber either run BSD or Windows. I know it sucks. Linux is just an incomplete OS, it's amazing that it works at all.
>>109184590>Loooser! I don't repair or upgrade my mouse, I just buy a new one.What happens when a button or scroll wheel fails bud? It's be nice to just swap a new one in right? I've used by battery for 3 years without having to change the battery. With my repair parts in stock, extra boards, batteries, wheels and buttons I'm set for the next decade. How often do you have to change and charge your AA's?
>>109184614also also, a lot of internal programs that you can only purchase through millionaire circles ONLY run on BSD, BSD is the safe choice OS for digital safes.ccm software, no Linux, no Windows, no Mac. The developer refuses even to port it. I have computers I am locked out of, that lock things into the digital river, that I have to interface with with remote software that run on HP-UX, that server needs to get retired. Thankfully the DMXiS stuff exists on BSD now, itanium is dead. The Q2OS stuff only works right on BSD, all the legal stuff runs on Windows, like PC LAW etc that connects to Windows servers run in state capitals. If you want a job in tech and limited your knowledge to Linux, branch out. Even with AI techies will be needed.
It run anything i can imaging, and it run like heat generator too in passive cooling, but it is very slow, it is hardly usable slow. It is not a stream machine. We might ask for a new contender.
>>109183913better than vistadidn't actively hate the user like 8+
>>109184711Vista 64 was fine if you ran it on a core 2 quad with like 8gb of ddr2 ram. I had that setup and it was great. I got the free upgrade to 7 because I used the beta. God the 7 beta was so boring to the exciting ideas for Vista... Such a shame some of those visions never came to pass.
>>109184711I really liked Windows 8 and 8.1 a lot, they were faster than 7.
>>109183965Because I'm on Windows 10 LTSC.
>>109184729Maybe you're right.I had a vista laptop, honestly I barely interacted with 7 except at college.I pretty much jumped from xp and vista to 10 because of force, but I was already exploring linux stuff so I barely use 10 except when necessary.
>>109184767I run 10 LTSC IoT on my cans and bottles machines, its a solid choice.
>>109184171based. and same.
>>109183913>diddo, not "did"
>>109183913Speak for yourself, I didn't love it. I just tolerated it because it slightly improved on XP in ways I cared about.
>>109184729Vista ran like shit on HDDs back when everyone was still using HDDs.They really tried pushing the Hybrid Flash/HDD meme with Vista
and here come the edgy contrarian newfags, filing-in as per usual.
>>109184781Yeah I started with Dos 3.22, then toWindows 3.1 and MS Dos 6.22, to Windows 95 on a Pentium 60, then to Windows 98 SE on a Pentium 2, then Windows 2000 on a 1ghz Pentium 3, Got XP on a P4 and immediately downgraded it to 2000, skipped MOST of XP until well into SP2, then I was forced to upgrade. It reminded me of a baby stroller. Had that Vista machine, but also had a Mac, G5 powermac quad core on air, then a few Intel Mac Pros, now back to ONLY pc and the Macbook and iPhone, and I hate ios so goddamn much. Switching back to Android soon. It's a time thing. Getting out to the store. The Macbook is great but only because Mac OS is great from decades of development. But even then I hate arm and using it just feels wrong. Like a very high powered phone, not like a workhorse OS. I record using garage band, because I like the real time input better than bitwig or arduor. I put up with it because there isn't better on Windows.
>>109184813oh yeah I think I had a SSD, it was like 80GB. I never had any issues with Vista. My buddy ran 32 bit because "it was faster" but it crashed all the time on him.
>>109184684You understand japanese panasonic eneloop NIMH AA/AAA battery is 99% better than properietary cheap chink battery you get in your mouse?
>>109184843I got one of those new solid state salt batteries as a gift, they hold their charge like normal AA batteries, and output voltages like lithium batteries do, and charge in half the time. Japanese know electricity.
>>109184859OK no identifiable information showing. It’s a bit heavier than the li-ion but holds a charge like 8x more than the 5000mAh 18650. Just shrinking them to AA size? I asked him in a text. He said they mastered it. It’s coming to market very very soon. New salt batteries are going to change the future. Imagine 9 months on a single phone charge. Using molten salt trapping it in crystals they dig out of the earth.
>>109184902anyway sorry for nerding out over batteries lmao
We like it because seven ate nine, which is why there wasn't a Windows 9.
>>109184919no nein sig heil heil hitler!
>>109184902Japanese panasonic eneloops NIMH are best for day to day use, cycle life up to 3,000 charges, and very low self-discharge.Chinese sodium-ion cells are an emerging ones for EVs, because they are cheaper and don't need as much precious metals. (not good for day to day use outside of EV)
>>109184944The new salt batteries coming will make those look like ass.
>>109184843>japanese panasonic eneloop NIMHDidn't answer the question. When's the least time you changed them?I've used my battery for 3 years without having to do that "2-hour's" of messing around. Let's do some quick math:The battery your provided has 2100 mAh, a wireless mouse typically contains a battery with a capacity between 300 mAh and 1,000 mAh.Lets assume you have the best of the best:A device draining current at 300 mAh will take 7 hours to use 2100 mAh of power.Lets say your fast and can take the old batteries out, put the new ones in and charge your old batteries in 5 seconds. There are 8760 hours in a year: 8760/7 = you replace your battery approximately 1251.42 times a year. 1251.42 x 5 = 6257.1 seconds or 1.73 hours simply putting your batteries into and out of your mouse a year. Note if I wanted to change by battery out on year 3 just because I wanted to and took 2 hours to do so, you would have spent 1.73 x 3 = 5.19 hours doing the same thing over and over putting wear on your battery connectors and shell.Have you considered this?

It was more stable than any other Windows version before and after it, and seemed snappier than Vista. It just werked. I've been on Linux ever since 7 reached end of life in 2015 or whatever and things have been fine. I had to come back to Windows on work computers with 10 and 11 and it's a flaming pile of dog shit. If you've been using Windows this entire time from 7 to now, the changes were probably so small over time that you didn't really feel them, like that weird analogy about boiling frogs alive, but to suddenly return to the OS like I did, it was extremely obvious how far the quality has degraded. I wish my workplace would switch over to Fedora or something, but I doubt the IT team we have who breaks more things than they fix could manage even the simplest things outside of Windows. Their Windows permissions are so half-assed, they might as well not exist because I've found a loophole for literally every restriction they've implemented, so they're just annoyances more than security measures at that point. Literally all they have that I don't are usernames and passwords for some services we use, that they break, then ignore for days until the managers have to yell at them to fix so we can get fucking accounting and other important daily shit done. Then I have to sit down for hours and go through the backlog of everything that piled up while these faggots were jerking off or whatever instead of taking literally 5 minutes to change a setting. Anyway, so yeah, I really liked 7 as far as Windows goes.

They are not better than NIMH in terms of quality.
>>109185235>comparing batteries with different voltages by mahlol midwit
>>109183913If you'd used Windows since the 9x days you were accosted to registry rot, dll hell, bsods and having to reinstall the entire OS every few months because it was the easiest way to deal with it. People say that 2000 and XP were good but really things only improved significantly after XP SP2/2000 SP4. In hindsight Vista was a much needed overhaul but at the time everyone (including myself) hated it for various reasons (much more demanding hardware requirements, UAC prompts). By the time Windows 7 came out Microsoft had ironed out all the teething issues with Vista and hardware had caught up to the point where any computer could run it easily. It was the first time Windows just worked without issues.
>>109185260You are the contrarian tranny in this situation.The truth is that Panasonic Eneloops are superior to whatever low-quality chink battery your proprietary mouse relies on.
>>109183913Because it was the most solid OS from Microsoft, it just works.The second best OS was Windows 8

>>109185386Windows 7 does actually look that nasty. It's one of the 2 Windows versions I used that are ugly enough that I needed to customize the shell.
>>109185483I guess it just looks ass on high DPI
>>109185495No, it's just ugly. I'm sure there are people who like that sort of thing, but I ain't one. That said, I'm not gonna go out there and claim I had good taste when I was a degen ricer, but that fucking start button has to go no matter what. It's way too big.

>>109183965> clean UIIs clean a synonym for hideous?I think I would rather never use a computer again than suffer such an abomination.
>>109184171Windows 7 not the last decent version, its the last barely tolerable version. Also, windows 2000 is lovable and the greatest operating system ever created.
>>109188377"clean" means no scrollbars, no titlebars, huge paddings for fatfingering a touchscreen, god forbid any 3d bevels or separators, buttons indistinguishable from links and from regular text, and minimum text labels (we don't want to spend money on localizing all that)

>>109190926He's based for that.
I was using Windows 7 as late as 2022, and only switched to 10 because I couldn't get 7 to detect a new SSD I had. I love Aero.
>>109191010>I love Aero
>>109183913When it was released it was an "improvement" over Windows Vista (i.e. by Win7's release people had fast enough computers for the fancy UI). Nowadays it's because it's the last major Windows version with some semblance of backwards compatibility of super old software, and without all the mobile-first and increasingly entrenched telemetry and AI cancer that infested later Windows versions.
