Just install IoT LTSC and don't worry about it. No game developer is making a Windows 11 exclusive game.

According to Steam's Hardware survey, Windows 10 is 33% of the market share. When Windows 7 support received the doomsday timer, it was at 3%. Windows 10 will be supported for another 3 years at least.

Microsoft suggests you subscribe to their cloud PC service so you can use all the AI-fueled features of Windows 11 while not actually owning your device at all!

I dont want windows 11 but I want my games to work. What do? Is the Steam OS actually a thing for desktop?

>>722649190
>Microsoft is ending support for the OS that I'll keep getting security updates on for the next 7 years
oh no
>>
>>722649982
>>722650074
Security updates are not the same thing as support. Just because your PC is getting up-to-date protection doesn't mean all your other software is going to keep working. There WILL be comparability issues, and once that happens it's as good as over because they'll never intentionally fix it.
>>
>>722650128

Oh, you mean the ones that happen when you get new hardware?
>>
>>722650128

I was on WinXP til 2014 Ill be ok
>>
>>722650128
OS compatibility is only ever dropped once the OS stops getting security updates, and most of that, and most OS compatibility issues that aren't microsoft paying people to drop older systems on purpose are from dependencies on chrome

>>722649259
This shit will not matter since popular vidya today requires DRM that will not work on old Windows versions. You're also forgetting that Windows still dominates enterprise work

None of the indies use DRM, we'll be fine.

I've given microshit 5+ years to add the simple feature of moving my taskbar to the right/left side of the screen so it doesn't take up 4,000 fucking pixels of wasted space.

They've whined it's too hard for something only 1% or less of their users used (which would still be literal fucking millions), after reworking their 20 year old taskbar to add a new one with less features.

Yes I could install a 3rd party software to do something that windows supported natively for almost 3 decades. No, I shouldn't fucking have to.
>>
>move to linux
>just install w11 iot ltsc and run debloat/privacy tool if u need to play your anticheat slop that blocks linux

done

Just hide the taskbar retard

nigga bill aint supported me with a good ass OS since Win2kPro. this changes absolutely nothing.
>>
>>722649679
Most people here are too dumb to install an OS. It's easy to do but they are too stupid to read a guide. They don't even know what a file extension is. Their choice of computer was decided by their parents or a salesman.
>>
I bought a top of the line computer 11 years ago, which means my compy can still play every game I want and do anything I want it to but can't update to windows 11

>Hide taskbar
>Get message that I have alerts turned on for
>Taskbar pops up over borderless window full screened game
>Covers up important part of screen/UI/escape route etc in game I'm playing leading me to do

It's just the absolute shittiest fucking placement for a taskbar. It made sense when 1920x1080p was standard, but high-end is supposed to be 4k, and ultrawides and the amount of wasted space.

Nothing is optimized enough in 2025 program wise for you to ever have enough programs open to fill out the taskbar on a 4k monitor. Just let me move it to the left and right for fuck sakes.

Hiding the task bar isn't the same as giving me the option of where it is.

And that's relevant to Linux how?
>>
>>722651264
I've had it happen. Point and click games with mobas are the worse but there's been other scenarios as well.

Either way it's fucking dogshit retarded they don't let you move the taskbar.30 year old feature they can't add now because of a bunch of bloat added to hock you ads/AI for the microshit cloud they have to upsell

Government will file an emergency lawsuit and Windows will announce continued support for W10 on Oct 15. Screencap this.
>>
If it's not broken - don't fix it. Gonna stick with 10 as long as everything works. But, again, I was in the same situation back with 7, and before that with XP. I guess, I'll have to update eventually. I used the online upgrade for 10, which worked out surprisingly well, I was afraid I'd have to reinstall OS from scratch, but it kept most things working. Not all of course. I wonder how I would go about "upgrading" to W11 now? If it's even possible. M$ seem to have dropped support for their customers in Russia, or at least for new products.

how is that legal? I understand they try this shit for new games but if you sold a game for a working platform and make it unplayable with an update you should get a refund

people would take that but here its ok?

I have a windows 10 laptop and for some reason it's impossible to install inux on it due to some faulty implementation of acpi and various other things, how do I make it so my laptop isn't alwaysworking at 100% even on idle? It's literally a new installation of windows 10.

There's a version that will keep getting updated until 2031. What a bunch of fucking retards gamers got turned into. Worst generation ever.
>>
>>722650128
Windows 10 has been getting only security updates for the past 3-4 years.
Windows 7 and 8.1 only got 5-6 years of feature updates and bug fixes before they went into security update only mode for another 5.
This is how Microsoft has done things for a long time.
If retard-run companies like Crapcom want to see that as the end of support, they should've dropped Windows 10 back in 2021.

well, I just have to play old games and mode them.

only 1-3 games a years worth playing, and 2 of them are FOTM 6/10. so I don't care.
I'll up date in 10+ years after I can de-Microsoft the win.

why are you not using win 11 ltsc?
>>
>>722654564
Uh, no? That's not what I said. It seems to be the attitude of a lot of posters in this thread, but not mine. I simply wanted to say, that some abstract "end of support" is not a reason to do so in itself. But if the issues arise, there's not much else you could do.
>>
>>722657653
>if the issues arise, there's not much else you could do.
It's not if. It's when. And you could switch to an actually useable operating system that lets you own your PC like Linux instead of being part of the microsoft botnet.
>>
>>722653493
I think the real problem is that your education has failed you and you can't help yourself

>>722659705
>operating system that lets you own your PC like Linux
Use my PC to do what? Look at spreadsheets? I already use Linux at work. It's good for that. But until the gaming industry (and the adjacent GPU industry) makes an effort to support Linux, for gaming - Windows is all we have. I'll gladly make the switch when Linux becomes as good a gaming platform as Windows or better. Sadly, it's just not the case, and people who deny this are delusional.

>>722649471

>not leaving it off on purpose to not have 11 stealth installed when you're away from your PC
>>
so what actual options do we have?
we can still get security updates till 2026 or 2032 with an oit ltsc but if games just stop working it's pointless
linux comes with a headache trying to get games to work and some wont even run
do we really have to "upgrade" to win 11?
>>
>>722649471
Get rid of your old pc :)
>>
>>722661750
>not leaving it off on purpose to not have 11 stealth installed when you're away from your PC
that only happens in countries with weak consumer rights or from your own incompetence
>>
JUL

Can't I just dual boot win10 and win11 and only use the latter for games that are required of me?
