>>7291617080you can clearly observed more and more people making the switch to Linux.
>>729161708you probably don't remember this, but when windows 95 came out, people camped out at stores to get their copy, it was almost like an iPhone release.windows gets worse with each iteration, and the chorus of people who don't want the downgrade to the newer version gets louder. but up until about 5 years from now, there hasn't been a real alternative for the average computer user, so they wind up upgrading under protest.why are you confused by this lil zoom zoom?
>>729161708cute girl
I used 7 for 13 years but there's a point where it becomes a hassle to actively use with so much software having compatibility issues. There are workarounds for new games, but it's never optimal and the experience sucks.I just use 10 IoT LTSC now, and plan to use it for years to come. Unless Microsoft pulls a DirectX 13 out of their asshole like a magic trick, I have no reason to change my OS.
>729161708>Windows 10 releases>"Noooo I'm gonna stay on 7 forever!">do just that>Windows 11 releases>don't care>Windows 12 releases>don't careIndians made me stop using toilets. I now exclusively shit on indian dalits. So far no one has noticed visually or odor-wise. It would be the perfect crime... if it were one! HA
>>729161869Sounds like cope to me, there are more users than ever before making your narrative fall apart
Like in most aspects of life I just want to be left alone. I don't mind installing the newer windows when building a new PC but fuck off with arbitrarily making me do it on my current machine. It works now, leave me alone
>>729165038what in the actual fuck are you talking about.
>>729161708I switched to fedora last night.I have no idea what I'm doing.Is this how boomers feel?
>>729165538rm -rf /
>>729161708Fucking jokes on you, asshole. I'm using Linux right now to call you a faggot.
>>729166252wtf my pc is leaking mustard gas
>>729161708There are people who wanted to stay on 7, and did. There are other people who wanted to stay on 10, and did. Some of the people who installed 11 may not ever upgrade to 12. They'll either stick to an old version long past its expiration date, or switch to Linux. Different people saying different things doesn't make any of them a hypocrite or a liar, even if they all post on the same web site that you incorrectly assume is a hive mind.
>>729165038>>729161708>>729167063>Sounds like cope to me, there are more users than ever before making your narrative fall apartWRONG.This is the first Windows ever to have nearly 45% of its userbase be holdouts on an antiquated version of windows six years past release. No other windows version has had a failure to adopt than Windows 11. Even Windows 10/7 divide was in the realm of 80%-20% at its peak. You are, in fact, a coping faggot and there are more users of Windows 10 than ever before making your narrative fall apart.Thankfully you're a jeet who will cope with a bullet in your mouth when your green card gets rejected for the tenth time this year.

>>729161708but im still on windows 7??
>>729161708nah its enough, ill switch to linux
>>729167187Why did you make that a reply to my post which has nothing to do with anything you wrote? Are you a bot?
>>729161842This, I switched to Linux last year. It's been fine, a few quirks to iron out but less annoying day-to-day than current Windows.
i've got the linux USB right here don't make me do it
>>729161708I'm sticking with 10 IoT LTSC until '32 because I'm lazy and retarded, and then it's a beeline for Debian town or whatever the most retard-friendly Linux distro is
>>729167303I didn't actually mean to quote you because you're right. Most Windows 10 upgrades back in the day were from new computers but guess how many new computers are selling right now when RAM is $1200 a stick?
>>729161708nah, I'm not doing this W11 shit, Linux is fine these days, I'm staying on Arch
>>729161708Windows 7 was the last time a windows improved. Even if they were downgrades from xp (and xp had some downgrades from 98), overall very important stuff like RAM management and other technical stuff made win7 be a better experience in compatible machine than its predecessors.From win8 onward, it's all downgrades with zero redeeming technical improvements, everything is just plain worse. And people only install it because you're being held hostage by compatibility with software you want, ie.: games.
I always go with the latest cos work forces us to on the work machine so I just get used to it.I'm going to look into moving Linux for my home PC at some point though as 11 fucking infuriates me.
>>729161708Windows 11 is so shit that it made me switch to Linux
>>729167583>they were downgrades from xp (and xp had some downgrades from 98)I swear you luddites are beyond delusional
>>729169051>not wanting to use w11>ludditegod can you stop sucking curry stained cock for like 5 minutes anon?it's a shitty, cunty OS that brings nothing good to the table for the USER.Faggot fucking copilot baked into the OS, constant, unending bugs caused by either AI or jeet coders.. it's a shitty OS, it serves no purpose10 is good enough.fuck off jeet shill faggot cunt.
>>729161708I was on XP for 13 years. I'll switch to loonix if 10 becomes unusable.
Because of constant enshittification, the things we once thought to be the shittiest ever don't seem so bad anymore.Microcock has been dropping the ball HARD since 7, and we're reaching peak jeet code quality with 11.
>>729169667Your acting as if the further back the better the technology. If it were up to you we'd still be stuck bonking each other on the head with rocks because it don't get no better than the trusty rock.
>>729161842Switched to bazzite a few months backPretty fun and easyThe difficulty of these things is really overstatedIf you've done any real modding and command prompt stuff on windows like any non-braindead pc gamer has, it's not a big jump at all
>>729170319My first computer included win98, that was my baseline. Until then win7 was the absolute peak for windows (used several linux distros as well)Win10 is the last version where it's worth to put up with all the crap just to be able to use modern software.Win11 is just irredeemable. Nothing good, and the bad (telemetry and shit) got a million times worse in both, performance and privacy, with the inclusion of AI shit, constant screenshotting of everything you do, and innumerable backdoors that users don't even know of.
>>7291618697 -> 8 was waaaay louder, it lasted two generations
>>729170821>telemetry and shit10 had that too so you got nothing to complain about
>>729170319no, that's not what i'm saying.i'm saying specifically that there is NOTHING in W11 that's better for YOU, the consumer.That's the difference between this release and previous versions of Windows; at least the goal previously was to improve the OS with usability or other improvements to the user.W11 is mainly about cunting you with bullshit AI nonsense, feeding their LLM's with real world data.don't be such a bootlicking retard.
>>729171152why are you cheerleading MS/W11 anyways? what do you get out of that.... The billion dollar jeet infested corporation will do just fine with you.
>>729171152Yes. That's why I called it >the last version where it's worth to put up with all the crap.Now win11 got so much worse in that regard that it's no longer worth putting up with it.
>>729170319XP genuinely was the cleanest package windows had distributed up until (and probably even compared to) 7. No intentionally intrusive bloatware you had to uninstall immediately. No overly touchy security settings which actually harm the user in the end. No jeetified code which requires third party software to enable workarounds. No forced enshittification and spyware to report every single thing you do to advertising agencies. It's not that XP didn't have issues, but very few of the issues with XP were caused by intentional malice or pure stupidity. Vista was trying to ease boomers into "safe computer use" and it backfired with Apple taking a huge market share from Microsoft. 7 was fine, 8 and 10 were noticable steps back, and 11 is a steaming pile of designated street shit.
>>729161708I still remember when people fucking hated vistas fruity aego and now the same retarded milllennials are having nostalgia over the look.
>>729170562But can it play Battlefield 6? Didn't think so.
>>729171210You literally just said XP was a downgrade from 98. That level of contrarianism against anything modern is completely insane bro.
>>729165538how did you find this picture of me? I don't even have W11 spyware
>>729171339The blackpill is realizing that every "decade look" isn't real and is done retroactively, the 90's never looked like the 90's either.
>>729171483you're confusing me with another anon.7 was a huge upgradeXP was an all around upgradeas was 98.and so was 95.They all were iterative improvements over previous versions.7 vs 10... 10 wasn't necessary; but telemetry aside, it was at least usable.11 is the special case here, it's a downgrade in just about every front, with the included AI cunty bullshit, forced (at least they keep trying!) microshit account requirement, intrusive spyware to feed their LLM's etc etc.
>>729171483You're replying to somebody else.And that's not what I said at all. I said that XP had downgrades from its predecessors. (ie. A bunch of bloat and dumb security features that the average user ended up disabling and causing issues elsewhere because the system was already a clusterfuck)
>>729161708I've been on linux for 9 years, you sad tech illiterate moron
>>729161708>Muh VeeFuck up and kill yourself tourist
>>729161708Just dont be a techlet and switch to Linux, coping with 10 is as retarded as using 11.
>>729167236based win 7 enjoyer
>>729171210>wanting a functional product made by professionals is bootlickingI'll enjoy to actually get things done while you tinker away on a toy OS made by hobbyists and trannies
>>729161708Windows used to have a good OS and sometimes shit one inbetween, like ME and Vista and yes I stayed on the previous version until the next good one came out. For me Win7 was the last good OS. I had to format my PC so I went with Win10 late and regretted it. If I need to format my PC again I go linux, I don't give a fuck about Windows anymore, I don't expect a good OS from them again. I'm never using Win11, 12, 13 or whatever
>>729161708it's called the windows baby duck cycle
I switched to Windows 11 and it isn't even bad. It's just Windows 10 but the file explorer has tabs now.
>>729161708It's because of M$ forcing people to upgrade instead of letting them upgrade when they're good and ready.
>>729161708>Windows 10 releases>"Wish windows 7 was still supported, oh well time to switch">Windows 11 releases>"Eww this shit is kind of getting really bad, I'm abandoning ship">Windows 12 releases>"*crickets*"/v/ could be like this
I switched to 10 in 2021 and didn't like it so I moved back to 7 in 2022 and then moved to Linux Mint for a while and then Arch at the end of last year.
>>729161708I use Arch, btw.
>>7291758910.02c coming your way
>>729161708I stayed on XP as long as I could before new stuff stopped working on it and I switched to 7. I stayed on 7 for as long as possible until new stuff stopped working on it and I switched to 10. I am currently on 10 and will switch to something else when new stuff stops working on it.
>>729176461i use debian btw
>>729176756Maybe it's because I got the LTSC version but I really don't know what part of Windows 11 is supposed to be so bad.
>>729176461>get a system you can tune to the finest detail and make it look like anything you want.>make it look like corpo slopWhy?
>>729171356Battlefield and EA are shit. If you buy that game, you deserve to play it on Windows 11
>>729177519because I was fine with Windows 10 but would prefer getting updates and not get left behind on EOL software
>>729175168okay faggot.tell me how WINDOWS 11 does that better than WINDOWS 10?god you cunty faggots who just want to argue for the sake of arguing are absolutely fucking insufferable. other than MS cunting you with forced upgrades is there a reason, a compelling fucking reason to go to 11? no?shut your fucking cunt.god fucking christ. you fucking cunt. you horrible fucking cunty faggot.
>>729177784>uhm just don't play that gameGreat response faggot, no wonder nobody wants anything to do with you
>>729161708im still on xp. the government doesnt want you to know this but you dont have to upgrade anything. not your os, not your software. everything just works.
>>729161708I'm still on W7 you disingenuous lying fucktard.
>>729175168>functional product made by professionals>windowslel, it's really retarded
>Every windows version is less user friendly, more annoying to customize, more AI and cloud focused, filled with ads, etcThere is a market here for a no BS OS and it seems like Valve is going to do that just that.I've played with Proton on my SteamDeck and I haven't run into many issues so far.
Windows 11 causes me precisely 0 issues. Never have any software issues or issues with gaming. I will never switch to Linux until there is an actual substantive reason to do so other than “fuck Microsoft”
>>729182178It's just small shit like constantly reinstalling onedrive, defaulting to onedrive on any microsoft apps, forcing co-pilot in excel, every time you take a screenshot it saves it into a folder, menus in menus in menus, dozens of different settings menus (this was a problem in Windows 10 too to be fair), etc
I still use 7 on my older laptopsI avoided using 10 on my desktop for as long as possibleI will never install 11 or anything after that until MS unjeets itself
took the plunge and went to linux bazziteit's greatEVERYTHING WORKSeverything I used to do on windows works and then someexcept... modded skyrim... I can't get MO2 to work properly. When I run it via steam, it doesn't see my GPU even if I run it in skyrim's prefix. When I run it in protontricks, it doesn't see steam...
