What are we doing /v/ros?
You keep using win11 like 99% of people while pretending you're using 10, the usual
Gonna take a shit
>>719616405Throw a party, no more microsoft nagging!
>>719616405You will install Win11 LTSC with 7, XP or classic theme hacks OR Linux.
Bazzite or CachyOS
>>719616565>LTSCXDDDD
>>719616405Get extended support.
>>719616405im waiting for windows 12
>>719616521Do you honestly believe any significant amount people do this
I will do nothing and remain on Windows 10.
>ten years later>an anon doesn't want to let go of his windows 11>makes /v/ threadthe cycle continues
Security updates are microsofts tactic of scaring old people into buying new hardware. Its a scam
>>719616405Extended support, it's next year problem now.
>>719616576What's so funny?
What retard hasn't installed Windows 11 and kept it up to date?
>LTSCJAJAJAJAJ XDDDD
>>719616405Is there any reason to care as long as Steam doesn't stop supporting Windows 10?>Inb4 hackers can hax your system with CVE-2029-RAPE3087!Hackers utilize exploits like those to fuck over Important people or iInfrastructure, and not random persons like me.
lol
>>719616405so? you don't need it "supported" to keep it working
>>719616405Don't upgrade until they release windows 12
I will use 11T. Xbox 360 converts
>>719616836troonix
>>719616603But hackers will hijack your bank account
Wasn't there a driver destroying update on 11?I would never switch to such an unsafe OS
Linux sisters, why the FUCK won't people take these threads seriously?! Why do they refuse to jump over to Linux?!
>>719616950meanwhile...
>>719616950cope
dont like nvdia, dont like spyware, hate bloatware, luv foss, luv owning things i buyyea im switching to linuxinstalled mint because it reminds me of le 4chan girl
>>719617092>>719617107not on my machine

>>719616405I keep using Windows 7 like I always have.
>>719616950literally rent free
>>719616994Good fucking luck, I'm behind eleven 2-factor authentications. You'd need to steal my bank's password, my face, my fingerprint, my authenticator, my phone, my email, the password to my authenticator, the password to my phone, my phone itself, my watch (which must remain in proximity to my phone to unlock my phone), and the password to my watch to get at it.
>>719616405Got Linux Mint on my gaming desktop.Free.No license needed.Easy installation.Works out of the box.No need for drivers.Tested some games and all works.
>>719616823The reality is that actual exploits nowadays require so much actual work that unless there's some really stupid vulnerability, you're going to have to combine about six CVEs just to execute codeThe majority of people who get "hacked" downloaded a .jpg.exe and double clicked it like morons.
>>719616405first of all, install windows update blocker, then i'll continue to use win7 unless i want to play masters of orion 2, in which case i'll boot up my win xp partition
>>719616405there is a current win11 update that bricks SSDs so stay with 10
Just upgrade?I just used that chris titties debloat thing to get rid of gaypilot and telemetry shit on Windows 11 + I'm running my own router with OS telemetry blocked alreadyHad to switch to Windows again after being on Arch for half a decade because of some software I needed to use on an almost daily basisObviously I'm now able to run every game out there since they're mostly targeted at Windows users anyway, but Microsoft's retarded changes to MS Paint annoys me so much, like I just want pictures with white backgrounds why do I have to deal with fag layers
>>719616591>I'm waiting for an OS even more whitewashed with fake javascript half written by indians and half written by LLMsGood luck with that
>>719617394>just cut your dick bro and become troonix like us :3
>>719617538just bring over the old paint exe then. I do it with solitaire and minesweeper
>>719617213windows 9 was better
I got Linux.
Google one of the scripts/services that spoof your ESU eligibility so you get a few more years of updates without having to switch to ltsc.
>>719617538>Had to switch to Windows again after being on Arch for half a decade because of some software I needed to use on an almost daily basiskektroonix is like that
>>719616405Nothing.
I am running Linux for 95% of the time anyway. For the Windows only stuff I can just use windows 10 for a while. Maybe get one of them LTSC versions.Even if I have to resort to Win11 - I will only use it for the odd game that refused to run on Linux, so I am fine, Spyware? All my Linux partitions are encrypted, heat your heart out M$.
>>719617732
>>719616405>He doesn't know.Just use the script to get 3 years extended updates lmao. If you are too afraid of that just sync your pc settings and ms will give you 1 years extended updates.
How is Linux gaming nowadays? Will I manage if I get Mint?
>>719617272Without Windows security updates the hackers will get all of those automatically, it's in the terms of service that Microsoft will just hand them out to anyone who asks, yes they will take your physical phone and hand it over the "Steve" from Calcutta
>>719617804>LTSC XDDDD
>>719617906linux sisters, are you okay? are you alright?
>>719617718Thankfully my linux needs are mostly solved by having another PC running as a server and WSL+Docker for everything elseI wish Windows had a scrolling WM like niri, that's something I'll miss to be honest
>>719616405If you play games with anti-cheat:> Windows 11 LTSCIf you do not play games with anti-cheat> Windows 11 LTSC> Windows 10 LTSC> LinuxI made the switch to Linux 11 years ago and I fully regret it.I wish i never knew or care.
>>719617405>The majority of people who get "hacked" downloaded a .jpg.exe and double clicked it like morons.i did this before to access somebody's computer to take their steam account and completely wipe their windows installhe was a asshole that deserved it btw
>>719617804Is there a reason you are using the 2021 version?The 2024 version is out and the upgrade process is painless
>>719618085why does the anticheat matter
>>719618162Games with the BattlEye anti-cheat can't sniff your kernel to detect cheats so they won't let you run their game.
>>719616405I was on 7 till 2021 and went to 11 with a new pcI don't really get all you w10 faggots w10 and w11 are the same shit
>>719616405
>>719618162Kernel based anti-cheats have started requiring Windows 11, Secureboot and TPM 2.0Games that require them do not work without them
>>719618397they are not worth playing
>>719617806I thought about getting ltsc but then read about this and it seems even easier. How do you know tho that its actually gonna give you ESU for 3 years? Seems like something that they would definitel try o prevent people from doing.
>>719618224It depends, there's many games using battleye that work. Up to developers.
>>719616764The ones who didn't fancy having their drives bricked
>>719618273In most ways it is, yeah, except for the fact that there is Copilot in Windows 11 which takes photos of your screen in the background. And there is a bunch more AIDs inside of the OS which makes your computer way slower.
>>719616565>with 7, XP or classic theme hackselaborate
>>719618482Why would you risk your drive being bricked by not installing Windows 11?
>>719617596already debunked >>719617092

>>719617459Didn't brick mine.
>>719616405i'll try out some linux distro and if that doesn't work i'll just get the LT-something version
>>719619176Those tools are slowly gonna go away or get paywalled anyway. Microsoft can hardly contain it's nose anymore these days.
Remember when Windows 10 was supposed to be the last version of Windows?
>>719618775The last time Windows was a "premium experience" was XP media center edition.
>>719619397Microsoft is all Indians using shitty AI code and claiming it's an upgrade to look like they're doing an indispensable job. I'm convinced this is a bubble that will burst at some point.
>>719619619Letting low IQ pajeets into the tech industry has always been insane to me.
>>719616602I believe a significant amount of people shitpost for replies and attention rather than sharing their (potentially inflammatory) earnest opinions, yes.
>>719616405Linux and PS4, my backlog still stucks in the PS4 area. And Factorio.
>>719616631Thats because 7 was perfect and every version since then has been a horrific downgrade, I despise being forced to use 10 and the thought of 11 let alone a 12 is giving me existential dread
>>719619650Its affected the quality so fucking much. Back with Windows 7 I had no complaints at all, but today Microsoft are a fucking joke but everyone is too scared to point this all out and be called a racist for it.

>>719619832Why did you enter a thread mainly about windows then?
>>719616405Instead of falling for the obvious trick to make users adopt w11, I will wait until support inevitably comes back after 1 month.
How much money does Microsoft save hiring indians instead of white people?
>>719618775Elaborate. I am forced to use Windows at work and it's so much worse than my Linux desktop. Shit breaks all the time, Office is a mess, slow and generally bad UI. But enough about my Arch.

Funny how every windows got only 10 year support but XP had 15.
use ltsc you dumb niggers
>replying to every ltsc postmind broken
>>719620095They realised at some point that they could squeeze more money out of customers by making a mediocre shitty product every decade that they are forced to buy rather than putting all their eggs in one basket and constantly improving their only good existing product.

I'm an LTSChad so I don't care.
>>719616405which linux distro has the cutest anime girl mascot?
>>719620493LTSC makes linuxcucks absolutely SEETHE because it completely defeats the point of Linux. People don't want to use autismOS that makes everything ten times more tedious, they just want to use their PC without being bothered by Microsoft, ideally while still using Windows. LTSC gives them that, so if LTSC was well known and widespread, Linux desktop would go from that 1.8% it has on Steam straight down to 0.0018%.
>>719620694ltsc has the same privacy as normal windows

Did you know? Due to India being 1.5bn (likely more) people, it's quite likely that over 50% of ALL Linux users are Indian.
im still on win 10. i cant afford to upgrade right now so i'll just keep using 10 until then.

>>719621259>cant affordMy 10 year old craptop got the notification to upgrade to W11, I thought they were just offering it to everyone on W10.
Windows just gets worse with every itteration.
>>719621304i dont mean install win 11. theres a cpu cut off list, most older cpus dont make the list for win11. i would have to buy a whole newer machine to be able to install win 11. theres ways to force install it but it creates a lot of maintenance problems later if you circumvent the install requirements.
>>719620816yes
>>719616405I'm not "upgrading" to Windows 9/11.I'll get extended Windows 10 support if I have to.
>>719619559What? Your fried dipshit brain is unable to write anything of substance?
>>719621498That's what you faggots say about everything
>>719618484You can disable the features that slow shit down and the thing that periodically screencaps is opt in and only stored locally. Basically you have to be a retard incapable of entering a BIOS to actually be effected.
>>719622038Am i wrong though?
>>719621778how
>>719617123you're so daring and low-profile and have such integrity!
>>719616405nothing
I'll keep on using LTSC
>>719616405it keeps sperging out that my system doesn't meet requirements for whatever absurd reason. I'm not going to upgrade anything in PC this new. I won't bother investigating why it is sperging out either. Most importantly majority of people won't either. They will be forced to extend support to 10 and/or fix windows 11 requirements or people will simply not move
>>719618140How's W11 LTSC? Does it come with the webshit start menu or is it the normal one? LTSC is usually decently debloated by MS themselves but you never know.

>>719616405I'm already one foot into Linux.Thank goodness for the Steam Deck popularizing not-Windows software.It's also a good thing that Paradox games have native support too.Ubuntu is actually really good, don't know why people look down on it.
>oh no, microsoft will stop shitting out broken "updates" that risks bricking your computer, whatever shall I do!
>>719616405i stay on 10 till i cant play what i want then suck it up and move or skip the game
>>719622759>It's also a good thing that Paradox games have native support too.Native versions are horrible, Total War for example you have to use the Proton windows version.
>>719616405Microsofts support for Win10 may end soon, but my support for Win11 has yet to even began.
>>719619397Only one guy said that
>>719620095Because no one liked Vista
>>719616405I installed 11 on my new PC and holy shit, Microsaar somehow added yet more bloat to fucking everything. Linux worked straight out of the box but 11 needed me to manually install the fucking wi-fi drivers.

I'm only using this partition for work and spaghetti coded jap hgames from now on, fuck Microjeet.
>>719616405nothing, when ltsc supports ends it will be time to move to linux
>>719624245Yes, surely that will be the year that troonix can run video games.

Reminder that Loonix is a chud OS, chuds are using it to talk to their chuddie friends using encrypted messengers and to forgo surveillance, this is why every decent human being should run Windows. If you have nothing to fear, you have nothing to hide.
Is linux it's own thing? Does a person need to format his drive? Does it come with it's own defender, like windows defender?

>>719625451Very cool anon. Now where are the pride flags?
why can't a version of linux just run .exes and other windows features natively, instead of requiring third-party programs for compatibility layers? is it just literally impossible? i'm genuinely asking, i don't know jack shit
How many compatibility issues does 11 have with old games?Lot of them already worked on 10 with patches
>>719625976>implying its hard to install archlol, cachyos does way more things than the average meme distro.
>>719622097not forced into logging in ms account is one
>>719626097Because the underlying system calls are not the same. Windows system call for file read is not the same as the Linux system call for file read.

>>719626097Different system entirely. Not much to say. Linux at a code level is more similar to apple than windows.

>>719620694why is the labyrinth in your pic so easy thats just like having a longer lock not a more complex one
>>719625976>literally an attempt to make Linux more accessible to retardsIt's a catch 22 reallyYou want Linux to have a bigger install base because it means more support from groups who now see an interest + more users reporting issues that can then be solved whereas before they'd have gone unnoticed or unreported.But that also means a bigger install base of normalfags and retards that'll eventually ask for measures, or at the least tolerate measures, that will ruin Linux as a whole.

i was planning to save my linux switch for my new hardware next gen but win10 has driven me fucking insane with the last update and it forces me to replug my dongles to use my mouse and keyboardi guess i'll just populate the second nvme slot and install bazzite on it and keep the sata windows ssd just in case
>>719626459Is a codecord* Fixed your meme, Rajesh
>>719626665can you really ruin linux when everything is opt in?windows was ruined by microsoft, they literally dropped support while 7 was in its prime and nobody actually wanted this
>>719626787You most definitely can. Look at the state of Ubuntu or the fact systemd has been so widely adopted despite it, it many ways, going against the spirt of the thing.
Nothing.I only use Windows at work. My home computer is a macbook and I play games on a ps4.Couldn't care less about microsoft.

>>719627728Then why are you here?The simple truth is that systemd makes Linux easier. I would much rather learn systemd timers rather than whatever the fuck the cron syntax is.
>>719616405I'm already on Bazzite with SteamOS
>>719616405Finally they stop ruining the operating system with "updates".
>>719628236those things are mutually exclusive
>>719627034those still use XP, their Celeron CPUs from 2000's can't even run 7
Linux lost, Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2021 won.
>>719616521i made the move to 11 and for multimonitor and vr support it's better out of the box than 10 - also more stable - otherwise it's almost the same experience. i dislike the taskbar changes for multimonitor though and not having as much control but the pros outweigh the cons
>>719628576windows 10 will be as extinct as 7 in a matter of years
>>719616405Stay on Win10 LTSC which has longer support life
>>719628610How's HDR support in 11? Sucks ass in 10.
What's even stopping me from using win 10 without updates for at least like 2-3 more years? What, my PC is gonna explode? Please
>>719628842you'll possibly have to start doing finicky shit to play new games like i had to when it happened to 7
>>719628884>new gamesSo we are talking minimum 5 more years on win10 for me?
>>719628703It's supported until 2032, over six years of support still. By that time I might not even be playing vidya anymore, internet might no longer exist, desktops might be completely abandoned for new technology, or I could internally self combust out of thin air. Not really a problem to discuss now, it's something to worry about in 4-5 years. As of now though, rationally W10 IoT Ent LTSC 2021 solves all the issues I have with Windows 11, without any of the massive annoyances and drawbacks that alternative solutions like ChromeOS Flex, Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, openSUSE, Arch, Gentoo etc offer. I just want a system that just werks and that lets me play GOG games and mod them without hassles, while avoiding any AI, ads, nagging from MS. Best thing is that MS has to support so many boomer companies so NT kernel has to be hyper compatible between W10/W11 causing everything to work still despite W10 coming out in 2015 and W11 24H2 being reworked in rust
>>719627376No they fucking dont. Its always a pain to to run games with the endless tinkering.
>>719629276>endlessyou just add games to steam and enable proton
My win8 laptop from 2013 finally can't play any games anymore (graphics card is shitting the bed, and steam somehow kept updating until it stopped working even though the client won't load). It's not worth it to keep dragging it along, so I'm upgrading to a tower. It comes with win11, but I'd definitely prefer to use Linux if I could.I've had Debian on a dual boot for a long time, but I'm not super picky on distro. Do people actually use steamOS? I see a lot of mentions of Mint here too, which I liked when I tried it maybe fifteen years ago. Any others I should look into?
>>719629467steamos isn't meant for actual pcs, just handhelds for nowi'd stick with bazzite for now, it has all the gamer shit preinstalled and then maybe hop to steamos once valve actually releases it
>>719616565I wonder what video game Brian is reading about?
>>719629276It's gotten better, it's just not there yet, I imagine During 2040-2050 Linux should be usable for at least singleplayer games from mainstream stores like Steam/GOG/Epic without much trouble. As of now, Lutris from Flathub can get all the dependancies and optimizations you need for vidya, and be a pretty just werksy experience at least for GOG games from my trying it out, it's not close to usable yet because of all video/audio artifacting issues, and most importantly case insensitive vs case sensitive trouble bricking many mods and amateur shit. But I'd say most of GOG and Steam games are nowadays playable on Linux. Just needs to cook for a few more decades, from my testing Cyberpunk werks great with RT disabled, VTMB werks great if enhanced audio thing from UP is disabled, KotOR works great beyond main menu being glitched.
>>719628780i don't use HDR so i can't comment on that
>>719629276that was the case in the early hours of proton, but now most games just work.
>>719616405Just gonna buy another prebuilt PC with window 11 once games stop working on 10.
>>719629536Nice, thanks, I'll check it out! Hope I can get a tiling WM in there without causing issues with the games. I'm guessing I might have to keep the Windows partition for Skyrim with all the mods, but we'll see.It's been dizzying getting reacquainted with everything after being out of the loop for over ten years. I had to ask some friends about stuff like OLED monitors, because the technology didn't even exist last time I bought one, and I couldn't for the life of me tell what was actually important vs just gamer hype.I feel old.
>>719630207Just be careful with dualbooting, microsoft gets confused sometimes and might break your motherboard and wipe all your drives in confusion
>>719616521>99%
>>719619292>>719626390I literally said the picture isn't mine and that you guys suppose to read the classic Windows forum. But since no one can read ITT: https://github.com/SandTechStuff/Aero11
>>719616405Staying on Windows 7.
>>719629467Debian is not a gamer distro. Its packages are way too often outdated.
>>719631530>I literally said the picture isn't mineThat you did. My bad there.
>>719616405what WILL actually happen if I keep using 10? will windows defender stop working? i dont care about hackers unless they are able to brick my pc
>>719630318They really do make it worse every time they touch something, don't they?>>719631712I figured as much. It's generally on a slower pace that prioritizes stability. I usually wouldn't mind, but I'll want things to be more up to date in this context.
>>719616405Is it ok to update to Windows 11 or will my PC shit the bed? Do I need to do a fresh install?
Nothing. Windows is over and done.It has been kill for approximately 10 years.Who hasn't switched his primary OS by now?
>>719632028They will steal your bank account
>>719616405Nothing
>>719632028>will windows defender stop working?It's only as good as the definitions and those are updated through the update, so...
>>719632028If you use virustotal and an up-to-date browser with sane settings and don't just randomly download random shit without any care put into it, you honestly don't really need security updates that much. But overall it's better for most people to just run LTSC
>>719616405Built a new system with windows 11 but ran a debloat script to wipe all the bad bits away, but I did seriously consider Bazzite. Maybe when steamOS gets a desktop release I'll switch to that but as of now I'm not really experiencing any major problems.
>>719632028It doesn't really stop 'working' it just stops getting updates for it data base detection, you would still catch old viruses and miss anything new.Not like that's super relevant if you don't download shady shit.
>>719625820Never heard of Eswatini, but apparently that's where ourniggers live.
So the update won't go through for me. It keeps giving me this error code, 0x800f0805. I checked and my PC can run windows 11. But it still keeps giving me error message. Is it because I technically pirated windows 10? I used HWID2 to get a permanent license.
>>719616405We stay on win10 obviously. Why do anything?
>>71961640510 LTSC IoT 2021 until 2032. Linux after.
>>719616405>oh no, no more shitty updates oh noooI will continue using it for probably another 5 years, until games actually force me to update. Same song and dance we've been doing with Microsoft for many years now.
>>719616521>we now have win11 paid shills on /v/fucking kill me pete
>>719632247People who like to play games instead of spending 5 hours looking for workarounds and shady forks of old/niche software that runs on linux.Just because YOU only play modern slop doesn't mean we all do.
>>719622238pretty much my reaction. iv'e read about too many big companies using XP.

>>719618397anon can you name 3 games that do this? do you think overwatch will do this? i play it with my toaster on win 10
>>719634616There's an entire PR team posting this image.
>>719618420True, when apex, valorant, and lol announced they would no longer work for linux there was just a big shrug from linux users, nobody gave a shit.
>>719616782Is LTSC a funny acronym in south America?
>>719635007Apex was fun while it lasted, but I got my fill of it. Not going to miss it if the developers don't care about me. Plus they ruined my favorite map with that faggy skybox.
>>719631131>60%That's a lot, anon, and the upgrade messages haven't gotten scary for normalfags yet
>>719620467I actually had a similar issue where I couldn't install Windows 11 upgrade even though it was theoretically supported. It turns out you need to download this special microsoft application that checks on your system for compatibility, and then it allows you to upgrade. I have no idea why they needed to make it so complicated but they did.I guess they really don't want you using Windows 11 on a computer that didn't already come with the latest version.
>>719617092>it takes no compromise to give people their rightsWhat a lie. Rights aren't free.>>719625451>private gun ownership is all about being in the militia, ready to go to war at a moment's noticeBit unhinged.Then again he is claiming his religion, consent (for women only), transvestites, and that dicks/vaginas are something you can change are all integral parts of his personality, so it's probably expected he would say something weird.
