What the hell do I game on now?
>>723226778update to windows 11, i don't see what the big deal is
Eh? Why would you feel obliged to change OS just because of this?
>>723226778Windows 10
>>723226778Not my problem
>>723226778Windows 11 like a normal fucking person.
>>723226778Just update to Win11Who cares about all the bugs and occasional blue screens.
>>723226778Come home, white man.
Microsoft should be hit with an antitrust monopoly or keep the gov on shutdown forever for all that matters.
>>723226778I click one button and got extended security updates for free
>>723226778Don't careI will maybe update to 11 when a game I want to play comes out and you can't play it on 10
install windows 11ltsc, linux? what the fuck are you on about weirdo
>>723227318Mine hasn't shown up yet
>>723226778I think I'll just stay on windows 10
>>723226778why are /v/ zoomies treating this like it's y2k
>>723227490There's a enroll button by update settings
>>723227764It's not there
>>723227802It was at top in plain text for me
>>723227318>>723227490>>723227764>>723227802>>723227896Your install has to be linked to a Microsoft account. You can't be on a local account. Also it's only 1 yearMAS can give you 3 years without having to use a Microsoft account on any editionAlso you can switch to IoT LTSC 2021 for W10 security updates until 2032
>>723227764>requires microsoft accountno
>>72322677810, learn about security and realize MS updating their buggy shit was never going to save you from 0 day exploits. Anyone using always online buggy beta of a latest OS is a retard.
>>723227160only reason why I'm not switching is because I play a game that requires anticheat and does not work without it...
Just switch to linux. Windows 7 lives on.
>>723227160
>>723227974I think you can sign out once you're enrolled and still get the updates.
>>723228031Or just don't be a retarded good goy and get 3 years of ESU with MAS instead
>>723227239ausbros...
why are zoomers so obsessed with updates and think their machine is unusable or they will instantly get hacked the day something loses support? I haven't updated windows 10 since I installed it
>>723228249Retards who don't practise common sense and download every "FREE GTAV!!!!!!!!!!!" link they see.
Still not using linux lmao
>>723227972Can I use MAS to switch to LTSC or have I got to redo windows?
>>723227568They've never had to change OS before.
>>723227538didnt you hear, windows 10 is shutting down
i've been using w11 since 2023 and it's oki dunno why you cling to 10, it's the same soulless software slopand unless you have some weird laptop which does not accept anything but its oem os i see no reason not to update
>>723228373>Can I use MAS to switch to LTSCYes and no, it's a bit more complicatedYou're not using MAS to switch to IoT LTSC 2021, but you use it activate Windows with HWID after switchingMassgrave (the team behind MAS) explains how to switch to IoT LTSC 2021 without losing your files or programs here (pic related):https://massgrave.dev/windows10_eolThe method is a bit weird because LTSC is supposed to be installed clean but apparently it works perfectly. If you have more questions about this and Windows in general, the Windows thread on /g/ can be pretty helpful: >>>/g/106855834
>>723226778My pc cant even update to W11Fucking faggots
>>723228754get a job, poorfag
>>723226838i see two big deals
>>723226778>Don't want to learn a new OS>Don't want to go to consoleGuess it's time for a new hobby.
>>723226778>posting LTTdie in a fire
My system with a Zen 1 (O N E) CPU and low-end ITX motherboard could upgrade to Windows 11 no issue, so that means that people with issues are truly the poorest of the poor.
>>723228754I'm in the same boat not really sure what to do, not really sure I care that much either
>>723229303I have a skylake i5 which is apparently not good enough for win11
>>723228249i imagine if you were raised without a father or brother figure, big corporations become your only family
https://massgrave.dev/#how-to-activate-windows--office--extended-updates-esu
>>723229403You can still manually install or upgrade to 11 (should you so wish) via an ISO, provided you have TPM 2.0.
i have windows 11. visually it's better than 10. i hope they don't follow in apple's stead and release a liquid shit aesthetic for windows 12.
>>723229670liquid glass has been praised by every influential streamer and content creator and it proved so popular that apple is adding more liquid glass effects with 26.1
>>723229731absolutely grim
5 years down the line you gonna complain how they force you on windows 12 or whatever from the based, best windows 11
>>723227239linux troons have no response to this
>>723226778Nothing, you can't game anymore, your hobby is dead, get outside and exact your revenge on normies by forcing them to exist near yougo for them champ, i believe in you, make them pay
>>723228249Unironically, 30yo growing up with computers is the last generation who know anything about PCs and tech. Phones and social platforms absolutely fucked everyone elses brains. Big tech gonna be raping everyone without consequences in the next decades.

>>723228249I don't even know how I'd get a virus these days, I don't use porn sites or pirate sites which is where like 99.9% of the risk can be found.
Anons...My neighbours PC exploded and it killed him, his wife and his wife's bvll... I think he didn't update to windows 11... I'm scared
>>723230656>Unironically, 30yo growing up with computers is the last generation who know anything about PCs and tech.they told me if i reached my 30s as a virgin i'd gain wizard powersfear me, for it is I, the installation wizard
>>723228024This is honestly repulsive. Which version of troonix is this
>>723230954>Captcha: SAARD
If you're if you were okay using Windows 10 then you should have no problem using Windows 11 because they are both the same garbage to begin with unless you are continuing to use win 7 there is literally no reason to update
>>723230943He was just pretending to be a better man. Better men update as soon as it's available.
>>723227038Terry was right about nigger cattle
>>723229670Weren't you the niggers that complained that flat design is boring and that we should collectively go back to the glass UI from windows 7 and vista?
>>723230917It's basically impossible to get a virus torrenting stuff now if you just use the proper sites and not fakes
>>723231479The only virus scare I've heard recently were those retards downloading that pirate shovelware from Steam.
>>723231479no one does viruses anymore anyhowit's way more profitable to try to grab crypto credentials from PCs than try to destroy shit for lulz
>>723227160Actually, it's ma'am. :3
I got a new PC and stuck my old windows SSD in the new PC and now secure boot wont enable.I fear I will have to reinstall but I dun wanna back up, how do people get over formatting anxiety? I fear I will lose something.
>>723232242Shouldve had backups long before this anon. Ur own fault. 3 2 1 rule
AAAAAIIIIIIEEEEEE I'M BEING ASSAULED BY EVIL HACKERS, SAVE ME UPDATEMAN!

>>723226778He looks like the bad guy from tron ares
>>723227972>Your install has to be linked to a Microsoft account.But I HATE this! I HAAAATE it! Is it really impossible with a local account?
>>723228754Download and run this, it will tell what you still need to do to make the upgrade. I myself only had to migrate my Windows 10 install to a compatible partition type to get TPM and Secure Boot working.https://whynotwin11.com/
>>723227568they're too retarded to realize that windows 11 is the same as 10
>>723228028>4 frames lost>privacy gainedi dont see the issue
>>723227160I would use linux but im too lazy and retarded for it, plus i dont want people to think im a tranny
>>723226778We literally do this every time were forced to move windows versions Since 95 was being phased outStop being so dramtic, you’re not using linux stfu and just upgrade like we both know you are Whatever happen to the 7 tards swearing they will never upgradeOh they are now on windows 11
>>723236219Also linux is still a piece of shit cope anyways. Literally anyone who actually uses linux knows the best way to use it is to dual boot or tun a vm of windows when its time to do like 80% of things on your pc anyways
I'm using ubuntu and mint currently.It's not optimal for gaming but it does the job. If invoker suddenly casts a billion spells mint sometimes crashes and ubuntu should be no different.I am thinking about moving to another distro but nothing else looks better. Fedora/Bazzite is a no go for me because of Israel ties.Arch/Garuda I'm not sure about because I've heard about how it's difficult.I guess I'll just stay on ubuntu/mint until steamOS.
>>723226778Just don't download "notavirus.exe" like a retard and you'll be fine
>>723235796Nice math.
>actually, common sense is enough!
>>723236558thisI used a pirated copy of win 7 from around 2013 up until 2022 and never had updates turned on in the first place. An occasional malwarebytes scan, browser script blocker, and not clicking/downloading shady shit was all I needed. Pirated most of my games too: just stick to trusted scene groups or steam underground.The only reason I moved to 10 was because of dx12 and some software not allowing itself to work on 7.
>>723230363The entirety of Windows is literally jeetcoded. Out of the frying pan and into the fire, eh?
>>723226778Windows 10>but muh updatesOh no! Where else will I get my official Microsoft bloat spyware+malware packages from!?I haven't updated in many years and everything works fine. No one relied exclusively on Defender for security anyway.
>>723236558Sadly that's not really how malware infests a PC. A software you're using gets bricked with an update and your OS won't have defense against it, congratulations you are now mining bitcoin to some Vlad in Ukraine
>>723227239Linux is for niggers but no shit india has so many linux users, india is fucking massive.
>>723227972>has to belol. lmao even
>>723231316i'm my own man. i don't abide by /v/ermin tastes. also windows 10 was too flat and lacked colour. 11's a much more subtle take on the flat look. it looks good.
>>723227239This doesn't make any sense. Most people opt out of giving even anonymous info so where the fuck did the info for this even come from? There's no source anywhere on the image.

It's called the windows cycle.>new windows version comes out>more spyware added>people cope and say they removed the spyware despite it being baked in>everybody hates it>within 2 years every retard moves to the newest one (gpu driver makers too lazy to make drivers for it, new game doesn't work etc.)>new windows version comes out>more spyware added>everybody hates it>people cope and say they removed the spyware despite it being baked in>within 2 years every retard moves to the newest one (gpu driver makers too lazy to make drivers for it, new game doesn't work etc.)>repeat ad infinitum
>>723226838This. If you already switched to 10 from 7 you sold your soul to the devil already and any reasons to not update to largely the same OS are performative.
>>723226838I can't upgrade because I "don't meet the minimum requirements"
>>723237716has never happened in 30+ years
>>723226778
>>723237716Lmao
>>723238696ip
>>723228249lol retard. You think it'll popup with "YOU'VE BEEN HACKED!!" when someone gets into your computer? It's not the year 2000 anymore with all the Viagra ad popups. It's all about data theft now.
So what's up with w11? Does it steal all the porn i'll be watching or what?
>>723226778Steamdeck proved to me that gaming was viable on Linux and I switched to Archlinux in August. So far I've been doing fine with it. Even kernel-level anticheat works unless you're EA and you specifically target and defend against emulation layers like Proton and Wine, which is why I can't play BF6. But I haven't played an EA game since they tried to ram Origin down my throat so I don't really care.Bazzite is probably the most retard-friendly Linux gaming distro, it is supposedly for gamers and specifically prevents you from fucking anything up and comes prepackaged with gpu drivers. Ubuntu and Mint should be fine too. Don't install Arch unless you like computers, are a virgin and accept that you'll be fixing things that have broken randomly, which is why I installed it.
>>723239798Windows 10 already does that
I didn't updated my computer to 11 and now my videogames don't work and my power supply is making a loud lawnmower noise.
>Your PC doesn't currently meet the minimum system requirements to run Windows 11welp, alrighty then

>>723239301How? Even my shitty Lenovo laptop from 2019 can.
>>723241028I just saw it, are there any real downsides with linking my microsoft account?
>>723226778You know what to do.
Why would I care that they stopped providing the same security updates I disabled the second I installed the OS? I'll upgrade when a program I want to use won't run on Win10 and/or I purchase new hardware which does not provide Win10 drivers. Hopefully by then Win12 will be out or Win11 will have the features I want, the bloat I can just get rid of.
>>723239301Yeah mine says that too, I'm pretty sure it's elligible
>>723230363Android is included in the Linux marketshare.

>>723243958>t. LARPING little faggot
>>723242104Brother 2019 was practically yesterday. I haven't upgraded since 2012 and still don't have a good reason to. They don't make shit like they used to.Modern CPU's have a telemetry chip Windows uses to gather data on the bios level. W11 is configured to refuse to run on CPUs too old to have that chip because they don't make any money off a user that isn't feeding them data. This was literally the whole point behind the forced W11 upgrade. If you're running an old CPU the upgrade manager just tells you to buy a new one or fuck off.On a newer card can manually disable that chip in the bios, which will cause W11 to stop working.
>>723243240If mint isnt scary, you'll probably be fine on something a bit more flexible like bazzite/cachyOr install KDE on mint instead of using cinnamon
I switched to Win11 after saying I wasn't but I was being a faggot, there is no difference really its just an OS who gives a shit. If you really cared you would have been on Linux a long time ago

>>723228510Okay and?
>>723227160>Come home, white man
>>723243784Not at all. I used Windows 7 for like 3 years after eol. Had to downgrade to 10 for university shit. You'll have to start jumping through hoops to get things working in two or so years with proper gymnastics starting after 3.
>>723226778After getting a steam deck I was very impressed with the OS on it and tried to get the SteamOS to work on my PC, but my hardware was not compatible (intel gpu). Instead I downloaded and installed Bazzite on an empty SSD I had since it was supposedly after the same look and feel as SteamOS. After some tinkering I got it to work properly with Steam and now it just werks. I can access all my files without any issues and many games also straight up run better. I haven't experienced a single crash, it's honestly quite bizarre.I already hated moving on from Windows 7 to 10, especially because of the Microsoft spyware, but 11 was such a snitch that I decided to finally jump ship to Linux and I ain't looking back.
>>723245586Install cachy on it
>>723226778https://massgrave.dev/windows10_eol
any anons here that did a straight upgrade from 10 to 11? did it work well with your installed software?I'm legitimately too lazy to do a clean install this time

>>723245904>acting like installing an OS is an all-day excursion Why are you retarded?
Imagine not using ltsc
>>723245904Then you probably should stop using computers, because we don't have a "just werks" OS like 7 anymore.You either have to use an OS that works for microsoft half of the time and you need to tinker to stop it because otherwise your computer will be unusable garbage, or you have to use linux and google a bunch of solutions for weird problems.Or you can use OSX, but it's just fucking bad and you will lose a lot of your time being forced to do the things in it's backward authoritarian ways.
>>723245904you have enough time to be a retard on 4chan though, curious
>>723240474You can turn all that shit off in the Pro version. I do. And it'll always be that way because Microsoft wants the juicy government contracts that require such things. If telemetry and ads couldn't be disabled, the US gov and military would use linux for workstations.

>>723230917You would have to intentionally download fake .exe files from ads or sketchy unofficial torrents, have someone maliciously pack something into mods, or have someone maliciously pack something into an automated updated which has happened to a few open source projects over the years but it's very rare (I'm talking like once every 3-5 years rare). The latter is also typically caught in a single day in most cases and a patch is released immediately for anyone affected.Microsoft Defender stops basically everything under the sun, is also extremely paranoid and overly cautious due to how the whole protection works, and anything it doesn't catch you can just run Malwarebytes every month or so to sanity check it if you're worried. This isn't like even a decade ago, you have to pretty much intentionally download them now.

I could understand if people were upset about having to upgrade from Windows 7, but all the SAAS slop got introduced in Win 10, so going to Win 11 is a lateral move at worst.

>>723249072What do you mean by power users, I do have a good rig if thats what you mean. Never took the linux pill until now. Kinda waiting for steamOS but it seems cachy is cool. How safe is linux sercuity compared to windows?
>>723249597Horrible. It gets the most virus attacks in history since anyone can look at the source code.
>>723247450>"detect chudware">the account that pushed it had a russian military email addressOy byaaat
>>723227160I wanna live past 40
>>723228249I'm thinking getting 10 updates for their apps on their phone every single day made some idiots think that once things stop updating its useless.None of these people know anything about their computer. They just use it to play games and browse the internet.
I used pirated windows versions without any updates for nearly two decades. What's the big deal?
>>723239912>Even kernel-level anticheat worksKLAC doesn't work. Some games just accept Linux without KLAC access.>Bazzite is probably the most retard-friendly Linux gaming distroSure>Ubuntu and Mint should be fine tooMaybe. Their issue is the fact they're mostly a year behind in software and driver updates compared to Fedora (Bazzite). They're only good every 2 years (2024, 2026, 2028, etc.) because that's when Ubuntu updates the LTS and pulls all the new software versions.
whatever you do dont fall for the meme distros like nobara/bazzite/cachy, just install a real distro managed by real linux developers instead of cracked out zoomers that vibe code.opensuse tumbleweed, mint, fedora, whatever the latest debian is, and even ubuntu are all better options and have working nvidia drivers baseline now.
Where is Steam OS?
>>723228686NTA but thanks for the info!
>>723249882Install Gentoo
>>723226838I bet you're vaxxed too
>>723249597>What do you mean by power usersPeople who tinker with their OS or system as a hobby, often using the terminal to do stuff or fiddling around in the settings. A normal/average user just wants to have an OS that "just works" with very little to no configuration and wants to install software through a GUI app store and use the apps. Meanwhile a power user will commonly go through settings and config files, do stuff like debloating and optimizing, etc.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_user
>use LTSC!!!!okay but why? 11 works fine after running a debloat script and changing the taskbar
>>723250356>debloat scriptWhich one?
>>72325035611 runs significantly worse than 10 even with all the debloating possible. There's just no escaping that it's currently a worse, less optimized, less stable, less reliable and less capable platform.The transition is being pushed explicitly for telemetry reasons. The average user stands to gain absolutely nothing from adopting 11 right now. In the future, maybe 11 will be updated into being a good OS, or at very least better than what 10 ever was, but why jump the gun? Transitioning to LTSC is as simple as upgrading to 11.Like 6 years ago you could handwave poor optimization since there was always another hardware generation looming exponentially more powerful than the last. There's a reason everyone got lazy with optimization. But now current hardware can barely render 4k stably and every company is stuck on this AI chip meme making incremental progress (or regressing) each generation in favour of gimmicks most end users don't really benefit from. The concept behind windows 11, a bigger and bloatier operating system with more telemetry and less capability, was obsolete before windows 11 even officially launched and now it's just slowly becoming a frankenstein's monster of AI integration it was never designed for to accommodate hardware that can't support its wastefulness.
Can anyone link the stuff that removes Telemetry and Microsoft Recall in Win10/11?I'm going to upgrade but I don't know which yet but I want to get rid of all that Recall and Telemetry bullshit.Thanks for all the anons posting the MAS guides.
>>723251062You can't remove Recall, because it's not there unless you're using ARM.It's a year after the release on ARM, and MS seems like they want to quietly sweep it under the rug and pretend it doesn't exist.
>>723249882Indeed. Mint or Debian is what most people should be using.
>>723251173So if I'm desktop I'm ok? Great.
>>723245715current upgrade service from microsoft is bugged and has been since the end of september for real. it'll fail for some people.
how the fuck do you get a virus these days
>>723250787https://amelabs.net/>>723250906>11 runs significantly worse than 10What's your source? From everything I've seen over the past couple of years, they're pretty much identical.>>723249882Ignore this advice. Debian is unusable and so is anything based on Ubuntu LTS.
>>723251304Installing linux. You have to completely format your drive to get rid of that shit.
>>723251397>Debian is unusableWhy?
>>723250787this is the one i usedhttps://github.com/Raphire/Win11Debloat>>723250906fair enough but eventually LTSC is also going to lose support and i dont feel like dealing with that. i just built a new computer and installing 10 LTSC on it just to be forced to upgrade anyway later on seemed annoying. when linux is finally good enough (or windows is finally shit enough) i'll gladly switch but for now i'll just stay on it for maximum compatibility.
>>723251527>rape4hire
>>723251527LTSC support will run until 2032. The gap between now and then is longer than the gap between windows 10's release and windows 11's release. By the time you need to leave LTSC, there's either going to be a windows 12 to complain about, or windows 11 will finally be worth using.
>>723251449It takes 2 years for updates to come to it unless you use Sid. And if you're on Sid you might as well just use Arch or anything based on it.
>>install Linux>NOOOOOOOO I DON'T WANT TO TINKER>>stays on windows>tinkers anywaysWhy are winjeets like this?
>>723249882On one side Fedora and Ubuntu are pretty goodOn the other side they're owned by corporations that constantly push and do shit to their OS that no one asked for besides their shareholders.
>>723251724>2032oh...i thought it was only a year or two. i guess i should have checked first
>>723250906I hear a lot of games are running like shit on 11.
>>723226778linux (steamOS)
>>723251724How do I jump from default 10 to LTSC
Only reason I haven't swapped to Linux is because I want to make sure all of my hardware and games will function properly.
>>723251869then use mint or debian>>723251741right and the new release of debian came out a month ago and includes all the shit you need in the package repo, its a literal nothing problem. and if you're too stupid to use debian then use mint
>>723252092well what hardware do you have and what games do you play
Is there LTSC Windows 11?
>>723252114>its a literal nothing problemit is in 9 months
>>723252092Your hardware should be fine, but if you're too stupid to look up your own games you probably are a League or Fortnite player
>>723226838Updated the second it came out because obviously this is going to happen eventually so you might as well get used to it first, had no problems with it. Yeah, they are absolutely nighers for doing this and every other day I'm thinking about "transitioning", but considering how shitty Linux reputation with comparability I can wait a couple more year until one day the headlines come out "Linux now is completely usable (sort of)".
Got another year extended updates for free when that runs out I will install LTSC.
im gonna isntall artix linuix
>>723252153A variety of old and new shit with a majority of them being mid-2010s releases.
>>723252928I use Antix, the Antifa Linux.
>>723239752nobody here has anything worth stealing so of course they don't care if someone steals their bank account. They genuinely believe that security updates are useless. Do they really think that they're just for fun? Why would businesses hire white hats just to keep their shit up to date? Fucking idiots

>>723239301just go into your mobo bios and turn on the appropriate setting. most of the times not meeting the min requirements means your mobo defaults to the appropriate option turned off (usually the case with older mobos). if that doesn't work, then you might need to update your bios version.
>>723253305How do you "steal bank account from pc"?
>>723253447cry more fascist. we have already infiltrated all major distributions anyway
Why are some anons so scared of secureboot and TPM 2.0?
>>723228028let me guess, you fell for the intel penis and estrogen cores? lmao
>windows 11 has fucking ads in the start menu>microcucks will defend this with "well you can turn them off"The fact they are there in the first place tells you how little respect microsoft hss for its customers.
>>723252694It's weird how so many people have this cognitive dissonance>linux has a bad reputation so i'm gonna use this other thing that also has a bad reputationAnyway my point is everybody should have stuck with Windows 7 and told microshaft to fuck off.
>>723246126Just use Mint you tinkertrannyfaggotPros: It worksCons: You won't be able to deploy 3000 VMs on your PC

>>723226996I'm convinced MS will start making sure games are released incompatible with Win10.
>>723253982
>>723254046How do they skip 2FA?
>>723253867They are third worlders with dogshit PCs.
>>723226996>TPM enabledYou didn't beat the game.
>>723253873So all this really does is just attempt to activate your Windows key? Okay.
>>723254175>doesnt turn off most of telemetry
>>723254046>get confirmation prompt in mobile bank application>do not recognise>call customer supportHack averted
>>723239301TPM is a bit of a non-issue currently since you can easily modify the windows11 iso to remove the requirement. Unfortunately most people don't know (or think its illegal) to do this.
>>723227972MS are retarded to remove the workarounds to use a local account.Just... Why?
I don't see what is wrong with just keeping yourself on WIN10, just because it's not supported anymore doesn't mean your entire system is kill-switched off.
>>723254207you're already logged for them via the session token. They don't have to actually log in, you did it for them. There are lots of ways to get one, usually from infostealer malware.

>>723228686Helpful /g/? If you're lucky maybe. They are elitist.
>literally only use Steam on windows>use my phone for browsing and everything else
>>723243784Depends, do you use adblock or download random bullshit?
>>723254170they probably will do that. I member all the benchmark people's benchmarkans showing Win10 was better for games than Win11, but new releases might just be like "fuck you this game requires TPM 2.0 and Win11 to play :)" like EA is already pushing.
>>723254421Yes but to actually do anything in the bank you need to confirm your actions with new use of 2FA. Like if I do payment or move funds, it asks 2FA. If I change setting, it asks 2FA. And so on.
>>723254452Might as well just use linux then when 99% of steam games are working with proton now
>>723239752>>723237304Most of the scams right know are done either via mobile apps for retards like whatsapp or, via mails. If you are sentient being that use internet responsibly and only acquire things/browse from trusted sources then you have very little chance to get anything.The weight shifted towards trying to scam/hack companies because there is where are money at.Most of the successful scams come trough because of social engineering aspect, not weakness of the system
seeing /v/ defend and do gymnastics in order to stick to microjeet is hilariousyou retards deserve kernel level telemetry that eventually leaks all your data, including passwords
>>723254327Control.
>>723254695This lmao
>>723254001Anon, linux is basically impossible for the average person to set up and understand without step by step instructions, and even then, most people can't be bothered because they just want to use the computer and have everything mostly ready to set up out of the box. Literally the only reason windows is even used is purely for convenience, what's hard to understand about that? What I don't understand is when people start bitching about windows but refuse to use another OS, which isn't really hard at all of you want it badly enough.
>>723254695Its funny because no one actually LIKES windows, they tolerate it because its all they know and change is scary. But rather than learning about alternatives they seethe, cope, bargain, and do any level of mental gymnastics to not have to think about the truth; their operating system is actively hostile against them and every moment using it means they need to be on guard against it trying to fuck them over.
>>723252996yeah that should just workloonix plays almost everything aside from the newest anti cheat slophttps://www.protondb.com/https://areweanticheatyet.com/
Why are so many updooters? Do they not have a firewall that blocks all incoming and outgoing traffic that they don't allow, do they not have a highly rated antivirus made by someone other than Microsoft, do they not update their internet browser--which is by far the most dangerous thing to leave out of date, do they not have ublock origin?
>>723255174Arch maybe. I tried Mint last year and I was kinda shocked that it was even easier than w7 to set up. Really feels like the kind of distro you put your tech illiterate parents on because its difficult to fuck up accidentally.
>>723252996>old shitunironically works betterstill doesn't beat w7 compatability, but its better than 10/11
>>723254545that's more robust than my piece of shit bank's application so consider yourself slightly more secure. That said "stealing your bank account" isn't necessarily the end goal for a lot of these groups anymore than just plain old identity theft. Monitoring your credit lines is pretty important
I've had zero issues with Windows 11 since upgrading to it years ago. I genuinely don't get the histrionic outrage about the OS.
>>723255314Brainless distros of Linux are good for normal people who just use computers as web browser machines. But if you try to do anything the least bit advanced on linux you'll have to research.
>>723228249>*gets day0'd your path*>>723245715only did it for my moms laptop that she hardly uses outside file explorerhaven't seen any issues yet
>>723226838I'm on ltsc so I'm good until 2032. But honestly I bought a mini PC and it came with W11 and I have no problems with it. Other than the file search breaking randomly, it's not really any worse than 7 or 10.
>>723226778Does your PC suddenly stop turning on and can't open apps?No?You can still go online and play games?Why are you being retarded then?
>>723255450A shekkel for the good goy
>>723255282I posted this in another thread. You want to take a risk on remote code execution just from web browsing? No, it's not just a chromium vulnerability.> Microsoft's recent updates during August 2025 Patch Tuesday highlight a significant security effort, addressing over 100 vulnerabilities across its major products such as Windows, Office, and Hyper-V. Among these vulnerabilities, several have been rated as critical, with CVE-2025-53766 noted for its potential for remote code execution through malicious websites. Despite reports of an absence of active exploitation, the critical nature of these vulnerabilities necessitates immediate attention from users to mitigate any potential risks.>Exploitability assessments from Microsoft suggest that actual exploitation of these vulnerabilities is unlikely, though caution is advised. Key vulnerabilities include issues in Windows' GDI+ component and graphics subsystem, which, if exploited, could allow attackers access to targeted systems via unsuspecting users. Given the commonality of user interaction with web content and documents, it's crucial for organizations to prioritize these patches to lessen potential vulnerabilities and enhance overall cybersecurity posture. Even if you move to linux, update your shit. Holy fuck
>>723255526>can still go onlineAt your own risk
>>723255587I accept your concession.
UPGRADE GRANDPABUY A NEW PC GET RID OF YOUR TOASTER SHIT ITS BEEN 10 YEARS
>>723255639Im on fedora and i basically just ritually check for updates before turning off my pc every night. Only takes a few seconds and updating on linux is soooo fucking painless.
Reminder that after years of claiming they won't switch, 7fags were forced to upgrade and you don't hear a peep from them anymore.
>>723255639How does a webpage on a fully updated browser hax00r your Windows? And they really should speak in plain english instead of gobbledygook like "Key vulnerabilities include issues in Windows' GDI+ component and graphics subsystem, which, if exploited, could allow attackers access to targeted systems via unsuspecting users. Given the commonality of user interaction with web content and documents, it's crucial for organizations to prioritize these patches to lessen potential vulnerabilities and enhance overall cybersecurity posture."Like they should issue a bulletin that says this:"Without this match, you could go to a website and the website can just run any code it wants and blow up your OS and delete all your shit so run this update now"If they actually said shit like that people would listen instead of talking in code.
>>723255991*Without this patch
They say windowed in Win11 has about one frame less of lag.Is that true?If so that would actually be enough for me to switch I need to move off this ancient 256gb OS SSD anyways.
>>723255526Once Microsoft commits publicly to not fixing security exploits anymore, it means it's open season for malicious actors to begin using exploits that were known but unaddressed, or find new ones to exploit.Once an exploit is known, it will remain effective in perpetuity and slowly disseminate through bad actors from the high level active exploiters down to the average jeet that can just buy an ad on google and serve a malicious redirect to gain RCE access.It's not instant doomsday but from the point of no return browsing even normal, innocuous and otherwise safe websites will become progressively less and less safe.
>>723226778Just go LTSC
>>723255991because the negative PR from something like that would be hilariously bad. They would so much rather prefer that the vulnerability gets patched quietly with only the nerds who actually know how bad it could've been know, than everyone screaming about the next Wannacry ransomware attack. That and nobody really cares about what-ifs, they only care about it once it's happened to them. See: this entire fucking thread
>>723226778>>723226838I'm still using windows 10 perfectly fine
>>723226838I can't open the calendar from the taskbar on other monitors. That's the dealbreaker for me.
>>723226838>off-model mold
>>723228024>>723255726We have Mac
I use Linux Mint. It's a great distro desu. Can't play BF6 cause the anti-cheat but I don't really care. When the Saudi's and Kushner bought EA my interest in that title died.If you're considering giving Linux a try, I highly recommend you do a live install (not permanent) of the latest Linux Mint. Play around in the desktop and see if it suits your needs. Then you can do a wipe + full install of Mint, or you can dualboot Windows + Linux. I went full Linux, but it's up to you.
>>723256193So basically they want people to follow their security procedures without telling them the consequences of NOT following said procedures? That isn't a good strategy for communicating to humans. Humans need to live in fear to behave in a safe manner. Otherwise they will be reckless.
>>723254001>Bad reputation in x = bad reputation in y
>>723255991because all the tech programmer trannies are autistic and con't communicate all that shit
>>723256149How does just viewing (not even clicking) an ad on a web page get you hacked? Doesn't having an antivirus like Norton or Bitdefender stop these attacks? Like I see options in my antivirus saying they can block adware/malware and even rootkit stuff.
>>723226778What's with this weird win10 is dead its all over marketing push? You can keep using win10 hell people still use win7 you're just not getting jeetcode updates its a net positive

How good is Mint for a newbie? I heard it's pretty friendly, is good with gaming and for the most part is compatible with software that is on windows.

>>723256652go with cachy it preinstalls all the gaming shit for you
>>723256473Companies have a pretty big incentive to avoid drawing attention to any shortcomings or fixes. Shooting the messenger is a big fucking problem and people do it subconsciously ALL THE TIME. You should seriously avoid being in that position in any way in work, life. Doesn't matter. People simply cannot control associating negative emotions with the vehicle used to deliver them>>723256592nothing is fully preventable. Pic related

>>723256652I personally think it's extremely noob-friendly. It's what I'm using right now actually. But other anons >>723256753 >>723256757 are also right -- some distros (like Cachy) put more emphasis on optimizing for gaming.For what it's worth I play anything and everything I want (minus games with invasive anti-cheat) on Linux Mint with no issues. Yes, even Japanese H-Games like Koitatsu.
why do they release new windows systems like they're new consoles or some shit, just keep the same one and update itfucking scamniggers, there's no need for new modern OS' to be updated so much and also have fucking sequels, may bill gates burn in fucking hell
>>723256592Not him but my guess is if its possible it'd be a flaw in the OS code that graphically draws the web browser, so the web browser could do nothing to stop it with updates. It'd be so low level most would not understand what was happening except the genius who makes it--the webpage would have some manner of getting code to execute through the usual methods like buffer overflow by just going after the right OS code flaw when drawing the graphical display of some component.
>>723256639Browsing the web (and being online in general) is essentially like constantly fucking the entirety of the world 24/7. Yes I will wear the condom, dipshit. And I'll change it out when a better one comes along.Update your fucking shit. Linux, Winblows, Mac, doesn't matter. Update your shit or go offline.
Works for me lol.Doesn't even feel different from Windows 10 after debloating and bringing back the classic start menu.

>>723257202I genuinely do not understand this mindset. How do you go>yes this OS is good to use but only at the exact moment it was released or support ended>no I do not need any more updates because of some arbitrary reason>malicious code does not apply to me because I don't click shady download links! Common sense 2025 has worked for me since Usenet!!! *rubs oily boomer belly while loudly guffawing*Do you genuinely have nothing of value you care about on your PC? Do you even know what javascript is? Do you update your other software but not your OS? I don't get it, it's fucking baffling
>>723257063>Doesn't even feel different from Windows 10 after debloating and bringing back the classic start menu.My main issue with W11 is that even if you do these kinds of things, there's regular reports of tons of people having all their shit reset whenever Microsoft decides to push some stupid ass updates that you can't say no to, or disable.If I was able to get some sort of debloated W11 IoT LTSC that allowed me to select whether or not I wanted to update, then I'd maybe think about switching over. But for now my plan is to stick with W10 IoT LTSC for as long as it takes until W11 gets unfucked.
>>723254661Because systems have been so hardened over the years that it's lost all attractiveness as an attack vector. You'll have to block pretty much everything to be safe with an outdated system since vulnerabilities are being patched and fixed consistently. You just aren't aware of how many there are since it's all being done silently. https://youtu.be/6uSVVCmOH5w
>>723257541Even this year, Bitdefender has stopped shady browser redirects from happening on ROM sites when I click on a valid download link. Yes I use ublock origin. Yes I generally use reputable redumps. Same shit happens on some porn sites. You won't know if an infostealer took your shit. Why is this so hard to explain.

Why doesn't microdick just make an OS strictly for gaming? With tons of compatibility options so you can play older games too
>>723258107surveillance
>>723258067why would you download an updated OS and not update it? Your OS is just an iteration of shell updates on the NT Kernel. It's the same shit under the hood just with more "features" and security updates each time. What's so special about the iso you used?
>>723258107xbox?
Windows 10 seems fine. I booted it up today. However, I recently bought a laptop. As a windows user since 3.1 it was one of the most disgusting experiences I've ever been put through. Being forced to add an account, being forced to use this shitty MacOS style central "hub" on the bottom of the screen, the shitty front-facing icons, the sluggishness of literally everything - It's so fucking bad, and that's not to say anything about the poopjeet AI bloat or extra clicks required to do ANYTHINGIt's just a very spiritually gay operating system. I don't care what "neat" or "quirky chungus" shit it can do under the hood or how compatible it is with raytracing and Twitch integration or whatever the fuck, it's just gay. I will not be using it.
>>723258107Xbox is gaming OS and gamepass is their cloud shit - both are walled garden
>>723258286the only valid complaint you have is the account bullshit. You can bypass it but you need to actually know what you're doing at this point. I've been using local accounts with onedrive etc disabled for years on W11 just fine.As for the aesthetics, yeah it's shit but there's myriad tools to rice up your install. It's still just NT
>>723258286https://www.tiktok.com/@ericfixes/video/7556692300970216735
>>723258107Microjeet is about data collection and AI powered advertising, not service to customers. As other anons mentioned, microjeet won't do what you want because the xbox and goypass is where they want you to be.
>>723246603You mean three, if you use massgrave.
>>723254170With the current state of video games, that sounds like a selling point.
>>723246125yes, and?
Why didn't MS just push W11 as an automatic W10 update and skip the UI update? W11 doesn't even bump the kernel version. It's literally just W10 with a more homosexual desktop environment.
>>723258893Spyware and copilot shit. Their business is no longer Windows, is trying to actually make some profit from AI
>>723226778Steam OS through Chimera OS
My PC can't even install W11 and i'm not gonna buy anoother one. I'll enroll on the good goy 1 year updates and hope i die or WW3 starts within that time
>>723259168>download rufus>disable TPM requirement >can now run w11 on any systemI mean you should probably just move to linux but you're not stuck on 10
>>723253867Too lazy to turn it on.
>>723253867actual answer; if you don't know what you're doing you can accidentally lock yourself out of your system from the UEFI. Oh, bitlocker is on by default on new W11 installs btw and is tied to your TPM. Some people lost a lot of data from this because it's not screaming in big red letters that it'll happen
End of an era
Is wins 10 ltsc better than pro? I dont want to downgrade. Whats the big difference besides continued support.
>>723259168There's high odds that your motherboard has update that will allow it. But ofc updating motherboard drivers feels unattractive because if it for some reason fails you can't boot anymore.
>>723257645This nigger was streaming and showed his IP as well, on top of that he had firewall off, stop using this shit as an example.
Proton lets you play pretty much every game on linux (thanks gaben)If all you do it use the internet and play video games there is literally no fucking reason to keep using windows.
>>723227160Considering this. What's the state of gaymen on linux? I got a steam deck recently and it just kind of runs anything.
>>723259469It's an OS that was made for ATMs and airport flight information screens.
>>723259601There's a lot of them.
Goyim cannot play If he does not pay
>>723259469ltsc is made for business mission critical systems, stuff that can't fail, i.e. what should be everyone's pc. Pro and Home are made for expendable pcs that MS doesn't care if they accidentally brick.
>>723249882>"nooo don't install stable distros like bazzite noooo"why, it just works.
>>723226838I'm trying to do this right now, but Microsoft is a huge retarded company and their file that "upgrades w10 to w11" is corrupted, now I have to order a pendrive so I can manually install a new w11 isntallation because aparently installing without a pendrive is fucked too.
>>723239301Are you retarded on purpose? Youve been able to bypass them since day 1
>>723256652it's not simple out of the box if you have an Nvidia GPU for that reason I went with Pop OS but then I found out gnome uses JavaScript in its core so I'm going to get a distro with xfce (whenever I have the time and feel like it)
I'm going to try the linux desktop meme AGAIN and if any of my 500+ cracked games do not run properly I will shitpost these thread nonstop
>>723259992Imagine falling for the anti-JavaScript propaganda
>>723259746why is that one btrfs drive read onlydid you break it?
>>723230656In a world of 0 days and cyber crime being as lucrative as it is for money, you still need to keep up on security patches. The people being faggots about updating don't know jack. >B-but my firewalls!Yeah buddy, you installed comodo firewall and are super safe! For the most part you're safe as a regular user out there but there are 1000 retards to every 1 computer literate person
>>723235796What privacy? Yeah you can claim whatever you want but all these companies already have and still get all your info regardless of what OS you've installed.
>>723257570>Do you even know what javascript is?Something tells me you don't and are too deep in the fear kool-aid. Vax status?>>723257645>turn off all basic protections>broadcast yourself as an easy target>WOOOWWWWW LOOK HOW VULNERABLE THIS ISMaybe windows 11 is neccesary to keep people like this from hurting themselves.
>>723252076The guide anon posted is great if you want it as light as possible, but it's pretty long so here's the short and basic version if you don't want to read it.https://massgrave.dev/windows10_eol
>>723254170Oh no, all those new AAA games that barely work, look awful, run poorly and are just fucking boring to play won't work anymore. Whatever shall I do?
Is windows 10 LTSC even worth it? I know it gets another decade worth of updates, but are those updates actually geared towards regular users like normal windows? Or it is just barebones shit that ATMs and shit need to keep running?
>>723260653>broadcast yourself as an easy targetwhat in the fuck do you think not updating your system even is? LOL I accept your concession
>hundreds thread a week for a year about this non issue>every microsoft shill and indians under vpn scream like windows 10 will stop working from 14 october onward>the day comes>literally nothing happens and my machine is the exact sameThese dogshit threads from /g/ tourists might be even worse than gacha generals I swear, how the fuck is this considered even remotely on-topic?
>>723261276Artificial outrage for an artificial problem.Welcome to the modern internet
>>723254170They don't even have to. Capcom put out a statement a couple weeks ago saying they won't be supporting windows 10 anymore, so if their games don't work on your W10 computer you can get fucked.
>>723261276I prefer this to an AI slop or twitter screenshot/drama/pol thread
>>723261109They're mainly security update rather than features, if that's what you mean. But what sort of new features are you looking for in Windows? I just want something that works and doesn't cause me grief with automatic updates, destroying SSDs, deleting user files, etc. Stability is king
>>723226838fpbp
>>723261423I don't need new features, mainly just curious if the security updates are geared to protecting normal users, or hospital machines that need to always be running. The two have very different needs when it comes to protection.
>>723258107Goal is to gather marketing data on users and to force ads for simply having access to your computer.Microsoft reached end stage of enshitification.
>>723250002Twice each year.What's that got to to do with it?
>>723254046>nabs your session infowho is nabbing itfrom what vectoryour session info isn't just floating in the air like thatEither way I still walk into my bank and make them work for their comfy ass desk job by doing everything for me for free.
>>723258407SAARRRRR UPDATE TO 11 SÀAAARR
>>723261507Not from Microsoft's point of view. LTSC is explicitly made for stability and security, regardless of how it's used. Hospitals are just as worried about being hacked as banks or government agencies are

>>723261523But thats a sony patent
>>723227160hmmm
>>723249779Trust me, you don't.
I haven't updated windows in 4 years
>>723258407I see people say the easiest way is to just make the microsoft account, then make a new user, make it the admit, and delete the microsoft account. Is that what you would recommend?
>>723256592Ads are not static, they're effectively a live link to an ad server that routes live links to active servers from whatever the source of each ad is. This is what allows ads in a space rotate dynamically. It means whenever you load a webpage, you're connecting to an ad server that is, by proxy, connected to various other servers. Once you're connected to a server, you're vulnerable to attacks from that server. There was a famous attack a few years back where a malicious ad was snuck into google's ad service and infected hundreds of users via new websites. Normally this kind of attack is a non-issue because attacks are complicated and involved to develop and your security architecture is constantly being updated to protect you from whatever means of attack might be used. But once you stop getting security updates, and the attackers know that your popular platform is no longer getting security updates, they can confidently develop an attack through that server access that will never be patched. They don't have to target you specifically, just every w10 user (of which there are still plenty) who are all equally vulnerable. And it may take a long time before google realizes it's serving a malicious ad because the malicious part only targets deprecated w10 users.That's just an example, of course. Not all vulnerabilities will come from ads being served via a website. It might come from a legit-looking indie game on steam, it might come via a p2p connection in an online game (the famous dark souls RCE from a few years back) and so on. The attacker might just be a stinky jeet scammer chained to a chair in a call center in the sweaty armpit of the world looking to farm crypto or feed a botnet, or it could be a shady indie company headquartered in Cyprus that's just looking to harvest and sell data or it could be some shithead belarusian teenager fucking around for the memes. The point is that these attacks will gradually become pervasive.
>>723226778Do people really think you need MS to protect you, or that updated version of windows are so much better for you than just not being a fucking idiot?
my pc is 12 years old will it explode tomorrow?

shan't be switching to linux because so many porn games don't have builds for it
I installed the latest update and now the Update to Windows 11 button is gone? gg
>>723262032If a security vulnerability is easy enough to exploit, you'll have people trying to exploit it. Even if you only get one in one million to pay for your ransomware, that's still worth it if there are 100 million vulnerable systems connected to the internet
>>723262032Try browsing the internet on pc98 and tell me how it works out for you.
>>723245715I upgraded yesterday and I lost nothing.
>>723254170Plenty of games do this, I remember not being able to play any new games because my OS was Windows 10 LTSC 2016 version. Any game that came out after that year would not even launch until I upgraded to a newer version of LTSC

I've no issues with w11 besides the fact that you can't disable the stupid auto brightness
>>723262732What? Auto brightness of what?
>>723262801Screen
>>723228313People used to understand that downloading random shit was how you got viruses. Now, not only are they too stupid to understand that, but all the spyware and viruses are government mandated.

>>723263183Not as tight as your mom tho
>>723262839I don't believe that. Why would they do something like that? I had monitor that had auto brightness setting and it was fucking unusable unless turned off.
>>723260331CS101 student spotted you would know how bad JavaScript is if you had to use it at work every day
Ok so why not just use this? I alrdy have my cdkey tied to the hotmail so...
>>723262156>so many porn games don't have builds for itWhy does that matter? Linux "builds" tend to suck anyway, except Factorio's. That's what proton and wine are for.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bharat_Operating_System_Solutionsgive me one good reason why i shouldnt use the indian linux
>>723263653Well I am still wondering if clicking on that changes something..... Because how it works right now for me is that basically it's using my hotmail account as my Windows login, *but* it basically never asks for my login or anything. Maybe for like 2 times a year it asks for my login for some reason but that's really only difference I've had when compared to local account.I enabled that setting in hopes of being able to install reinstall Windows easier if I ever need to, because it says that "your cdkey is saved in your account".
>>723243240Freddy Mercury died of AIDS, and was a complete degenerate. Your computer now has AIDS. You are an AIDSfaggot.
>>723263903Is there even any real use in having local login if it's only me who uses the pc anyway? It doesn't make any difference.
>>723263959>Despite the name, the source code of BOSS GNU/Linux is not publicly available.Seeing this in the footnotes is like finding the Early Life section of the article
>>723264145The difference is in the telemetry that gets sent to microsoft.
>>723264238Even funnier if you think that if it's really based on GNU/Linux then they're violating the GPL license most of it is covered by.
>>723264239I haven't had any performance issues but I've tried disabling everything I could just because that stuff is annoying. Like I get 0% CPU usage on idle. I guess they know that a guy from this hotmail address uses these "apps" or something, but I also guess that I don't care.
>>723263416>>723264145There are actually some benefits to having an M$ account. Your activation keys are saved to your account, and an O365 subscription offers insane value when you factor in the priority AI tool access, also OneDrive for ez and secure file backups. Keep a local software RAID for local backups if desirable for your porn, anime, pirated films, games, etc.
