Microsoft is having to contend with the reality that Windows 11 adoption rates are so bad that they have to continue supporting Windows 10, at least for the time being. Perhaps their efforts to reduce integrated AI will do something in the future.
>>741956724i've yet to hear a convincing reason to change to Win11
>>741957034there is absolutely no reason unless they force you toIt works "the same" but it's still as bad as Windows ever was
implying personal computing will exist in a few years when 11 is "engoodened"
Why, do people have something to hide or what? Copilot is your friend, it takes pictures of your private stuff because microsoft wants to protect you.
>>741956724I bought 2 new computers and ended up just reselling them because they're finicky as fuck. I gave up on getting a deal and just went and got another old workstation. I would be using 11 just because the new ones won't run 10 but I guess I just can't have new things
Windows 11 has 80% market share on Statcounter. You can't even install Windows 10 on new hardware because of secure boot certificate updates.
>>741956724good thing i stayed on 10 i guess
>>741957034*Bender voice* A.ctually I.ndians, A.ctually I.ndians, A.ctually I.ndians!!!*Consumers cry and install Linux if they're smart*You're not manually remembering that MicroSlop WinJeet 11 is so fucking bad it continously breaks core functionalities like Explorer.exe and tries to slop-code refactor them in a GODDAMN START UP PROCESS because "it slow" as the reasoning.FUCKING. EXPLORER.EXE! A. STARTUP. PROCESS! What. the. FUCK. are the Jeets are MicroSlop thinking?
>>741957590Does that stat include corporate adoption numbers or just consumer?
>>741957034microjeet create software exploits for W10 and gives them to other jeets to hack and scam people
We never should've left windows 7.We WILL be punished.
Ltsc ftw bb
>>741957034there is none. that's why they have to go through hoops to deprecate working features and compatibility intentionally to force you to update.MS is one of the slimiest, most conniving corporations in history. I hope they choke under the weight of their H1jeet's incompetence.
>>741957115it'll be exactly the same as 7 > 10. Absolutely zero reasons to change until enough lazy devs stop adding a few lines of code so the game runs on the older version.
>>741957690It only includes people who visit statcounter enabled websites. But corporate computers are more likely to visit websites with analytics.
>>741956724>they have to continue supporting Windows 10is Linux really that much of a threat now?
>>741956724turns out people don't want to buy same thing for no reason bill club of rome sprays ticks on your farm and modifies the weather gates, but lets be honest I know they're all plants, all the tech companies are just leakers for DARPA
lol I knew this would happen.
>>741957257>implying personal computing will exist in a few yearsDon't worry, they have no reason to take away the goy pacifier.This meme is the most grain-fed shit ever. Broccoli heads who never lived through a speculative bubble before repeating fear mongering (and definitely not FOMO-inducing, "buy now goy") headlines from mainstream news outlets and hardware review jewtube channels.
>>741958042they've considerably grown, not enough to be a real threat but enough that they can probably feel it in their bottom line
>>741958035I checked out the Steam 2026 hardware survey and they show that windows 11 has a share of 69.76% among gamers. Sad to see.
>>741958054>2026>still think gates has anything to do with microshitIts ja pajeet company
>>741957034They're ending support for older versions of Windows. How is that not convincing?
I’m never gonna change from 10
>>741958623gates is into bioweapons/ai development and jewish dick sucking activities.
>>741957590>secure boot certificate updates.Fucking hell I had to completely reset everything security wise because I did a BIOS update and it invalidated them all. Fucking Microsoft.
>>741957590can you just... not use secure boot?
>>741959104No.
>>741957590>You can't even install Windows 10 on new hardware because of secure boot certificate updatesyou can thoughliterally boot into SecureBootRecovery.efi (you can find it in C:\Windows\Boot\EFI, just slap it on a bootable usb stick and rename it to bootx64.efi) and you're done
>>741958956but not into windows
>>74195672411 works just fine for me. Never had a single problem.
>>741959378I thought that was clear from my post? Linux will be my next OS 100%. There's nothing mostly on Windows that one would need.
>>741958365Isn't that just because all new computers come with 11 by default?
>>741957590>You can't even install Windows 10 on new hardware because of secure boot certificate updates.How so? I built a brand new computer a few months ago and got Windows 10 on it easily, but I'm going to assume you mean something different maybe?
>>741959453that's mostly how i feel about 10. but i guess MS needs to put their diversity hire h1jeets to work, so here we go with another round of getting cunted with bullshit OS changes.
>>741958158one thing you need to understand is that the psychos currently running things really aren't being steered by rational impulses anymore, if they ever were
>>741957115Anon, windows 11 is so hated that most western governments and chunks of the third world that aren't jeetland have completely dropped it in favor of linux. Even older windows versions, despite the source code being out there and easily modified, is being dropped. I don't see windows lasting another decade as a company.
>>741959525You can make that assumption along with mine that most steam users are actually just people on laptops doing light gaming.
>>741959508Who is the biggest donator of the Linuxfoundation with money and code?Right, MICROSOFT!Relationship like Mozilla and Google.
>>741957728I mean yeah.If a company you use has a jeet call center then your number is going to be used for scam calls.
>>741956724these updoots will sabotage win 10what make win 10 good is the fact that is stable
>>741956724This is /v/, not /g/.take your seanigger ass back.
up, down, stay the same? call it
>>741957590I'm on win10 pro, I already forced the new secure boot certificate update last year way before it was being widely rolled on through win update. It's really not complicated so I don't know what you're talking about.
>>741959860>uhh linuxfoundation is the only source of Linux distros, sweetie!your mind is literally the same as a retarded toddler at this point, you are beyond saving.
>>741958158So GPU prices really came down after the crypto bubble, right?Right?
>Windows 10 support is ending! Upgrade to 11!Ok>Your computer doesn't meet the requirements :(This is just micro soft jeets realizing that people aren't buying new computers in this economy.
My compact gaming pc is allready on bazzite. When i upgrade my office pc it will also be switched from win10 to something linux. Don't know what yet, maybe Mint.
>>741960214I was so mad I bought a Macbook.
>>741958042Not really. Linux desktop is almost as functional as windows XP and uglier. Much much uglier. But it's the only game in town till real state backed OS alternatives are brought in and Torvalds gets bought off or threatened to start implementing backdoors and AIshit into the kernel project. Which will be soon. When Valve really leans into SteamOS and stops dicking around with their shitty 1k set top box then the linux desktop will become a real threat on desktop pcs. And I don't see a single solitary piece of software on earth that can stop people from switching. Nvidia has fucked themselves out of being something the average consumer or diehard hobbiest can afford or wants and will go over to other alternatives that will just werk. >>741960170You can find 8 gig graphics cards for 50 dollars and cheaper yes.
>>741960214Its funny because before it told me I do not meet the requirements but at a certain point they kept trying to get me to update regardless.
>>741957257O shid pajeetsoft is going to kill every Linux distro and autistic /g/oon on earth???The only thing preventing the Linux user graph from becoming a vertical line up is the fact that lazy people like me can kick the can and stay on Wangblows 10.
>>741957590I'm a retard that has brute forced his way through computers all my life. What is the "secure boot certificate" and what exactly is going to happen when it stops getting updates?
>>741960170They did, retard.
>>741957034My friend keeps sending me vidya benchmarks where 11 supposedly outperforms both 10 and various linux distros, I'm not even sure why, it's not like he gets paid to shill itHe has an updoooter mindset I guess
>>741960362It's like a digital keyring, which should in theory make things harder to tamper with, but in reality makes it a pain in the ass for the end user.
>>741957034new shiny boot instead of icky ew old boot
>>741960326Imagine being so dumb you get filtered even by Mint.
I really wish they'd just make a Windows 11 lite that cuts all the bloat and AI based shit. And also let us customize everything to our hearts content because I used 11 at my job and God damn I hate the layout and menus.
>>741960170Yep, just in time for the AI bubble.Sure is convenient that these tech bubbles keep popping up to keep the line going up for companies that would otherwise be scrambling to stay afloat thanks to their shitty business practices.Personally my guess is that after the AI bubble pops and billionaires get to walk away with the bags of cash consequence free we'll see "quantum computing" as the next shameless cash grab.
>>741960395Wrong, you literally retarded DOUBLE NIGGER.
>>741960669NVIDIA QTX
>>741960349Linux and /g/oons make consumer hardware components?
>>741960651It's supposed to be shit, Windows 11 without the AI bloat is like dry water.
>>741957034The """benefits""" are that it's fully-integrated with AI and that it's got a "sleek, modern" interface. In theory, games are supposed to run better on it too as long as you've got modern enough components to support everything properly... in theory.Microsoft doesn't understand what people want though, so they just kinda shit this stuff out without a concern.>>741956724Consumers reject Win11 in theory, but in practice everything comes with Win11, so adoption rates rise regardless of IQ. Happens with every new gen too, even some businesses are like "hurr durr, we upgraded to Windows Vista without checking first and now all our software doesn't work, durrrrr, @FBI @Microsoft @Windows @Nintendo"I've been keeping my computer incompatible with Win11 on purpose so they can't just ""upgrade"" me in my sleep, heh. *dabs at microsoft*Short blogpost:>parents call me up to ask about their new-ish (but cheap) laptop shitting the bed>next time I visit, I check it>maxed RAM and storage>Win11 installed itself (or someone NPC'd and manually "upgraded")>clean the hell out of the system>now everything's only 90% full because it REALLY shouldn't be running Win11>end up spending half the visit backing up like 100GB of random family pictures from the Downloads folder mixed in with random other junk
>>741957034eventually games will start using kernel features only in W11+ and stop booting at all, and only a few of the most popular games will get hacked to run on W10, and if you complain about it at that point, the majority of people will be on 11+ and will attack you for not being on it too as if you insulted themthat was the only reason to update past 7 and it'll be the only reason to update past 10
>>741957590>You can't even install Windows 10 on new hardware LolLmaoJust wipe the drive clean, your move WinJeet.
>>741960349The way 10 dies isn't by cutting off security updates, it's by both MS dropping 10 on their SDK and 3rd party dependencies not being assed to continue supporting an end of life OS, so suddenly the future versions of your software start going 'no way fag, updoot already'.
>>741957034I don't want to upgrade because I hate change.
>>741961184>I don't want to update* becaise I hate changeftfy
>>741961184here's fifty bucks
>>741960914>eventually games will start using kernel features only in W11+Such as...? W10 and 11 are extremely similar under the hood, to the point that the kernel is still NT version 10. It's not like the jump from 7 to 10.They will try to artificially gate software to 11 but it will be easy to bypass. You can still run some modern software that does this to 7 with some effort.
>>741960331>>741960214If you have secure boot turned off in the bios it gives "incompatible"
Hey Microsoft, I got an idea. Instead of creating shitty operating systems that continue to appeal to people that don't use computers, why not improve and build upon features that PC users need and want? Microsoft might not need to depend solely on operating systems for their income anymore, but they own the market and are completely destroying it chasing AI dreams. How stupid can you be to completely destroy your control over the market? It would be like Valve flipping on a monthly subscription fee. These other investments of yours aren't guaranteed to pay the bills in 10 years. But an operating system people are familiar with is continued customers in the future if the product remains good. Businessmen are the worst people to run a business. It's absolutely ridiculous.
>>741961625Bypassed by a checkbox if you use Rufus. Please don't run away from 11 to Linux being this retarded.
>>741959453Same besides having to downgrade sound driver because the popping was insane and now sound shutting down if laptop sleeps. It sure revs up fans for seemingly no reason sometimes, but either it's some harmless stuff or laptop refurbishing company put malware in the rig, which is doubtful.
Businesses like MS are becoming like all these fucks on tiktok and youtube. Chasing that big hit. That one video that will make them famous. It's no longer about a sustainable business model. It's about finding the absolute jackpot that will make you quadrillionares (Rockstar, Nvidia, etc).
>>741960452I am so desensitized to performance metrics simply because it all just turned into a marketing scheme where 90% of it is just cherry picked conditions.>>741961625I did turn that off as well as refusing to upgrade past my 12k series intel processor because I refuse the TPM 2.0 chip. But they wont stop asking and I refuse to even make an attempt to find out.
>>741956724They hid the rename button. I used to right click, rename. They took that awayIdk what to say about a fundamental failure. I would quit windows if I had a choice
hindus 11
>>741961974Does F2 still work?
>>741960526Bitch I was on the linux train back in the 90's. I would frequently upload simple single floppy disk versions of linux complete with a full gui, as well as a handrolled single floppy win95, onto b back when you could stash files in photos. I've done linux from scratch and was all about slackware because it wasn't a simple solution. I know what linux has to offer. I also know that linux desktop is still mid as fuck.
>>741957672Bender doesn't say fuck. Marcus Fenix does.
>>741956724>The laptop with windows 11 that I bought for my mom uses 95% of ramWhy they even sell this shit with windows installed at this point? Wtf
>>741956724>Consoomers reject Windows 11Sounds about right. Consoom, goy. Use Windows 10, goy.
>>741962076it's right-click F2 now
>>741957034Forget arguments.Many normies PC’s aren’t even compatible with Win11.And with the AI sloppa price gouge, they can’t afford anything better.
>>741956724>Perhaps their efforts to reduce integrated AI will do something in the futureNah, the veil has been lifted and billions have been jeetpilledIt's all downhill from here
>>741962337Haha, no thanks. They are called short cuts, Microsoft. Not long cuts.
>>741957034It's basically identical to Win10 once you tweak it a little.It offers zero improvements over 10, though, so why go through the chore of updating and tweaking it if you don't have to?
>>741961974>I would quit windows if I had a choiceYou do but you'd need to stop being goycattle to realise.
>>741962601>a tasteful piece of NTRI'm beggining to understand

Only a retard uses a laptop. NTlited Windows 11 is the best OS ever made.
>>741957034It's Indian shitwear. There is in fact a million reasons not to if you are a self respecting PC user.
>>741956724Does this apply to all Windows 10 users or just the ones who bought the extended updates?
>>741957034If you switch to win11 you'll have the privilege of allowing microsoft to train their AI on your data, what more of a convincing reason do you need.
>>741962585might as well go to ZorinOS if looking to skip the windows bullshit and not playing any multiplayers or games that refuse to launch because its on linux, not windows, its literally W11 styled look but works with older machines as well, no Windowscuckoldry and free. Fedora's "Mint" style release is Ultramarine (great alt btw, made in Thailand.)
>>741962682FemMC Netori is really rare and (absurdly fucking hot.)
>>741962837>just makes shit upThat's the lincuck I know and avoid.
>windows 11I still use XP regularly. Used it today as a matter of fact.
>>741957034Something copilot, something microsoft recall, something AI something security... yeah no clue either.
>>741960914>>741961480>I may live up see the day that Windows users use Wine to emulate W11 on W10LmaoLinuxchads winning again
>>741963036its all cringe and gay corposplaining why their shit is better than the free things.
>>741963036>recall>flopped hard in 2024 on ARM>it's now 2026, and it still looks like it will never make it to real PCs>but OH GOD RECALL IS MONITORING YOU (even though it's not there)
>>741959453Same, and I recently installed Mint on my mom's old piece of shit and it's constantly freezing.
>>741963051Wasn't DXVK how people got around to playing some games on 7 already? Elden Ring I believe. And DXVK is pretty much obligatory for half DX9 titles these days.
>>741956724for some reason the extended support requires a microsoft account
>>741963146If you'd faggotunderstand, they wouldn't have to corposplain.
>>741962757some people "bought" the updates too
>>741962974Keep sucking that microcock, Bill ain't gonna fuck you no matter how much you shill for him hes only into nubile children
>>741962757>spending money on the extended updatesngmi, might as well switch to 11 if you're that retarded
>>741956724I'm happy Microslop started blocking older hardware because otherwise I would have never switched to lunix and would have never seen the light
>>741957034There are no drivers for Win10 that support WiFi7 modules on recent motherboards.In this case, if you need WiFi, you have to install a WiFi6 PCIe card (~$20, I did this)
>>741963187Your mom's PC may bit a bit too old indeed.You did choose the Xfce edition, right ?
>>741963369>lies>gets called on lie>"LOL SHILL!!!!!!!"Isn't shilling by nature dishonest?
>>741963435Ya. It wasn't constantly freezing on W10, though.
jeetdows 11
>>741959771>I don't see windows lasting another decade as a company.One of the most retarded statements in this website's existence.
I've been Linuxpilled for over a year now, 14 months. It sucks. What W11 are people using now that the dust has settled? LTSC + debloat same as W10? I know my ass is getting gaped by Mossad one way or another, even with Linux (especially with Linux, there ain't absolutely no way this broken piece of hot garbage doesn't have more zero days than actual features), I'm under no illusion
>>741963494>writer of OP article>saar please to use the windows 11>secure boot is meny much bad and hard to redeem in india
>oct 2027that's nice, but i'll getting support until 2032
>>741957034There is no benefit for the end user, who is little more than a data atm to be used and abused. In a better world, MS would be sanctioned severely for how they've handled Windows 11.
>>741957034There is better support for HDR, but that's about it.
>>741959771God I fucking wish man. I've worked for quite a few companies that use Microsoft 365, and it's incredible how much shittier the Microsoft office suite has gotten over the years. It's worse than OpenOffice by a mile.
>>741963565if I read or hear "meaningful" one more time...
>>741962682>Girl gets cucked, desperate for dick = hot, eventual threesome>Guy gets cucked, desperate for pussy = patetic, ends up jerking alone like a fag
>>741956724I already took the 11 pill. How do I un-update and return to 10?
>>741963864You don't. Flash a USB and reformat noob.
>>741962974Not that anon but every single major (and even the minor) tech company is milking user telemetry for data, as there is almost nothing left to increment AI training cycle with (the exception being the darkweb but no one really wants to train their AI on xhild hornography, do they?).
>>741957034it reduces compatibility and saves a few GB of install size or somethingoh you meant convincing, sorry to bother you. It has a shitty centered taskbar and you can't extend the tray bar anymore, they replaced a couple of legacy menus with even shittier modernized ui vomit
>>741960914I can't think of a single game producer that is stupid enough to make their game Win11 only. Not one. Most countries are turning away from everything microsoft and no one has the money for top tier hardware and to spend on games. Not only that W11 is just spyware that's recording everything you're doing and uploading it back up to microsoft with every "update" or just spying on you non-stop no matter what. It's why every country outside of america dropped it almost simulataneously.
>>741957034It's safer. You will get viruses on your computer if you keep W10.
It just werks.
>>741964247you will keep getting viruses on W11 and people already know how to hack your shit 24/7 anyway, you will always get viruses if you keep pirating games.
>>741957034If you're on Win10, you're already in Microsoft's ecosystem and therefore not the primary target audience for Win11. That's Apple users, all the adjustments to visuals and functionality Win11 brings were made to appeal to people using MacOS in effort to pull them over.
>>741960038I tried Linux in 2011 as dualboot and it was fucking shit and I can already see the next guy asking me what distro or desktop I was using just to pretend that I was using the wrong thing and of course that was shit.At least everyone openly hates Windows
>>741956724i use win11 and have had no issues with it. it's not much different than 10. you all just complain incessantly about every new version of windows it seems.
>>741964392>every time your computer goes to sleep it loses its ability to display the desktop and taskbar This kind of shit would never fly on windows.
>>741964201>I can't think of a single game producer that is stupid enough to make their game Win11 only. Not one.Riot games, their malware anti-cheat is about to go W11 only and they have warned users about it multiple times now. They are now trying to "entice" users into upgrading to 11 by saying that their malware doesn't need to run all the time if your a good goy with the latest W11 updates installed.I suspect that both Activision and EA is about to pull the same bullshit since both of their shooters are filled to the fucking brim with hackers.
>>741964392>It just werks.* after tweaking it daily for few weeks* until next update breaks something again
>>741959771>chunks of the third world that aren't jeetlandjeetland has the highest linux adoption rate out of every country in the world
>>741964620>2011You might as well hate on W11 for how shit WME was with that kind of logic
>>741964620nigger you dipped your toes on a distro 15 years ago come the fuck oni know you're used to windows being fucking stale but that's not how it works on linuxexcept gnome. that shit is as stale as ever
>>741964247cute retard
>>741964953>GnomeI genuinely don't understand how anyone can prefer Gnome over literally any other option on modern Linux, it looks and runs as if it's stuck in 2006.
>>741964620it is actually usable now i remember trying it back then and had a bad experience with the gpu drivers
>>741964576if one's a corpocuck for ass-cock-to-mouth blowing anti-privacy eco-systems, you might as well go with Google's android laptops as a normie-faggot that is you, cheaper shit laptops, can't be used for gaming other than trash gacha gambling games, probably makes you use computers less than you would otherwise on an actual distro, so a much better ass-fucking experience from big corpo, I'm pretty sure.
If Mint adds an official KDE option, I will go back to it.t. uses Debian and Fedora.
>>741965403Doesn't Fedora still default to Gnome?
>surprised to see random windows 10 ltsc update>a forced update>always block it>one day it forces the update through anyways>they removed the random hardware address for wifi connections>the update literally only deleted features that worked perfectly>the MS explanation was not enough people spoke up in support of the function online so they removed it>mom keeps throttling my wifi connection now
>>741957590You can, it's W11 the one that gets autistic about hardware, you need a internet connection as well. This is both on the commercial and LTSC versions by the way.
>>741965584They have official support for the KDE flavor of Fedora now, it has been like this since 41 I think. They most likely did this because unless your ricing your own system, KDE plasma is your best option for a "set it and forget it" desktop by far.
Wouldn't it be easier to just make a good product, instead of making a terrible product and then spend years managing the shitstorm?
>>741965584It is the main option, but a version or two ago they made KDE another flagship option.
>>741965798Making the line go up is harder if you have to spend some of that line momentum on keeping your customers happy.
>>741965403so you want a point release distro with kde?
>>741965794>>741965836I see, I've given up on Fedora long ago but now it sounds like it might be worth another try.
>>741965403i guess kubuntu or kde neon are not good candidates because...?
>>741966191china crap spyware.
>>741965745hold up
>>741965745Should I laugh or cry?
>>741964392Linux is free if your time is worthless
>>741965745>>one day it forces the update through anywaysshit that never happened
>>741963430Wifi hardware is back compat by policy and cert. All your wifi7 stuff will work just fine as wifi6e and you won't even notice on w10, even if you just use the built-in drivers.
>>741966778what time? most things these days work other than the ones with no clear linux support?>but you have to learn muh programming...and you call that a bad thing? if you can't learn broken English that is programming? you ain't a human with above 90IQ.
10 years from now you will go outside and all you'll hear is people whispering>"hey meta? what is this?">"hey cortana? what is this?">"hey chatgpt? unlock my phone."
I'm still on Win7.
>>741964953And I compared it with 15 years old Windows, so this evens out. I use Linux every day for work and I have to use W11 and both are garbage. Linux is a server system, that's where it shines and where the money is.

>>741967101>broken English that is programmingPython user, I presume.
>>741957672I don't get the reference, but explorer is used for the desktop and the taskbar so no shit its a startup program. That is how desktops on Linux work too, I have thunar running as a daemon too for desktop icons and external drive detection
>>741966075Yes.>>741966125Yeah, it was officially supported on Fedora, but it felt like you were a second class citizen. Gnome was the only version that could be updated to major releases outside of the terminal.>>741966191>KubuntuIf Ubuntu never went full retard snaps, I would have put it on my surface tablet instead of Debian.>KDE NeonI never went with it because it was said to be the testing bench of KDE.>>741967187I respect your breed of autism that hates Microsoft, but refuses to use Linux or- may Allah forgive me for saying this- Mac OS.
>>741967249I'm on Manjaro right now. I wish it werked more than anyone. It just doesn't. It is shitte. You can make your own scripts c programs and stuff I guess that's cool but other than that it's not worth anyone's time. Installing other people's software is a recipe for disaster and also a bit like being a cuckold if you ask me.

>>741967405every single coding language is just someone's version of broken English down to batch, write a typical piece of line code for printing a text message on screen in Javascript, Ruby, Python, C++ or Batch.
>>741957034Tabbed Explorer. This alone makes it so I will never go back to W10, I can't live without it.When you plug in a controller like a DualSense it doesn't automatically shift everything to that controller and remembers you don't want its speaker or microphone as the default every time you do so.Could be anecdotal but it boots like 5-10 seconds faster than when I had 10 and overall the UI experience is far smoother and less rigid.Generally it has better performance in a lot of games, especially newer ones or if you're trying to do borderless windowed gaming. It's more of a problem if you prefer older games because I think it has compatibility issues or something? I know it's more of a hassle but I haven't made any attempt to play non-GOG older stuff.I don't have a monitor with it but apparently it has proper HDR support.I'd still say don't touch it at all until we see what happens with 26H2 and if their promised improvements actually happen or if they're just lying through their teeth. No matter what you do you have to install it via Rufus to disable many of the garbage things on install, and then even after you've installed and fully updated it you can't use it until you run both WinUtil and O&O Shut Up because the sheer amount of telemetry and bloat is disgusting if you don't. Once you run those it's fine, you only have to run them again if you do a major upgrade update since they sometimes sneak certain stuff back on but that's literally version increasing updates, not normal security ones.>>741965768Not if you make an iso with Rufus. Just tick on every option that disables their "mandatory" requirements and then when you install it simply tell it you have no internet connection. As long as you don't have an ethernet cable plugged in it doesn't care. I just had to reinstall two days ago because I did a complete overhaul of my system and just using it as-is was giving me weird issues in games for the past few weeks and the reinstall fixed it.

So I could have just stuck with Windows 10?For me, though, it's Windows 7. I liked XP but I prefer 7.
>>741957034The only "convincing" reason is that many funders refuse to work with orgs that are still on Win 10. This mostly affects non-profits. At a personal level, 0 reason.

>>741958042No matter how much Jeets try to say "not really," yes. Valve's investment has paid off. Most "normies" and single-player gamers can run things on Linux fine at this point since nearly everything normies use is a PWA and doesn't need a "native" client.Shit, even Discord is a fucking web-app (and if you're dumb enough to use it in a Chrome tab/Electron "native" application is still a fucking browser app), so opening it in Firefox/Chrome on Linux is the same as Chrome/Firefox on Windows.Get Normies to see that and it's over for Windows.>BUT MUH PHOTOSH--That is the lone exception and even THAT is mostly solved at this point if you're not stupid and using the Creative Cloud/CC versions over pirating Creative Suite/CS1-6.

Why cant they just offer a more expensive version of W11 with zero telemetry shit? I'll pay 1000 bucks for it if they want to be that Jewish about it.
>>741958042No, it's still garbage made by retarded autists who refuse to implement the most basic QoL or user safety features (aka they think that 10% of the buttons in the cockpit being an instant auto-destruction with no other purpose is "freedom"). It's just that the cycle of needing security updates has died many years ago. You don't need updates to be safe, you don't get aids cancer by visiting a website anymore, basic security features are extremely strong and you cannot get viruses anymore unless you're being extremely retarded by downloading bad files and forcing them to run despite multiple different warnings. So you can comfortably sit on W10 with no worries of security risks, and since W11 is dogshit, no reason to "upgrade".
>>741959104OY VEY, THE SYSADMIN KNOWS! SHUT. IT. DOWN.>Battlefield 8/"6" requires SecureBoot>Which doesn't even do shit with it's anti-cheatLMAO.

>>741957034You're an antisemite if you dont
>>741970371This is a funny way of saying that linux is for people who actually understand what they are doing, where as windows and macos are for braindead npcs who need 50 layers of abstraction for everything because if its not dumbed down to the literal lowest common denominator, if there is even a HINT that they are actually using a piece of technology, they will throw a temper tantrum and refuse to use it. You are goycattle.
>>741970253This "me" issue doesn't exist on Windows, so I'll stay on debloated W10 dear linuxtard. Quite hilarious that every single time Mint has an issue, instead of giving you a coherent error message or trying to repair itself, all it does is stop the entire PC from even reaching the login phase, and just have a black screen spouting out garbage if anything at all (it also loves the bug where the screen is black, then progressively gets covered in a white texture until it's all blank white).>>741970371Yeah I know. The only way Linux becomes not shit is for an actual serious company/group to make a single version, and stop with the ancap tranny retardation. And for fuck sake, actual safety features. It's infinitely better to be "restricted" on W (which is a complete fucking lie if you're not using your PC for server shit as your job) than to have to walk around landmines on Linux where trying to change the screen's brightness can nuke the computer.Anyway, all linuxfags lie by omission about this issue and pretend spending years learning to avoid invisible mines is easy but using an automatic debloater on windows in 10 minutes is impossible. Debloated W10 ass rapes Mint so much it's not even funny.

>>741964860Anon, Linux still has extremely unintuitive 3 letters folders and retarded incomprehensible filepaths because of memory limitations 50 years ago. The fucking FILEPATHS haven't evolved in 50 years, so where Windows shows you a nice "Downloads" or "Programs" folder, troonix goes "HPE" "DTR". Linux has not evolved one bit in decades, still as dogshit as ever.

They're only doing this because the RAMpocolypse means nobody can afford new PCs right now. If they booted everyone off 10 then in 4 months everyone would just switch to shitty cheap chromebooks or something

>>741983380It would take an extremely rare zeroday to infect you just from your normal browsing in 2026.

>>741956724Why couldn't people have done this for W7?Oh, right, because Microsoft used malware tactics to trick people into installing W10 and couldn't do it again for W11 because they were retarded and forced TPM.

>>741984813I left W7 when Steam said it would no longer run on it. That was like 10 years after it was officially unsupported by Microsoft. I don't care what MS says about anything, it's the programs I use that I care about.

I'll go to 11 when I can turn off shit windows security shit bloat ware from running the background which I can't even on the LTSC version on the laptop.10 LTSC until my psu implodes.
This seems like a good thread to ask. I have my laptop for like 4 or 5 years now and it got a bios patch 2 or 3 years ago that fixed an exploit in the bios or something and I have never downloaded it in case the bios update kills my laptop. How dangerous is this to leave unpatched?
>>741956724Unironically, everyone complains about the Windows design and bloat, why do they just keep making it worse? I don't get it.
>>741978191And nobody upgraded to Windows 10 because Windows 3.1 didn't support Supreme Commander. What does your post bring to this conversation?
>>741986519You won't have to worry about those security vulnerabilities unless you're connected to public wifi I'd say, and even then the chance that someone is trying to exploit other connected devices on the network isn't particularly high.
>>741983032Yes
>>741986673Because the brand-loyal retards and normies will update anyway
>>741980535My installed Windows is is older than you, there was no hypervisor back then, and to enable it now you need to reinstall OS from scratch, and for some reason, no one cared about the lack of a hypervisor before.
>>741987232I never take the laptop outside my house at all
>>741986673The coders become ever more Indian and the older experienced coders get ousted for more of the former.If they actually just rewrote a Windows from scratch with non-indian coders they'd have another OS golden age.I think Windows K2 is a half-hearted attempt at appeasement.
>>741986716I am going to make an educated guess that in the future, Windows 10 will be added to that list. Instead of scrambling to update, I have already been updated for years and do not need to sweat over it.
>>741987428>My installed Windows is is older than youYou are using.. *checks windows timeline* Windows 3.0?
>say for years "microsoft needs to actually split their versions in actual meaningful ways">told "NOOOO THATS IMPOSSIBLE THEY NEED EVERY VERSION TO BE THE SAME(despite every numbered version having like 10 different editions (that are all just gay retarded software packages preinstalled))"
>>741956724>make "The Last Version of Windows">customers stick with that versionWhat did they expect?
>>741987447yeah then just don't download malware and you're good, but that holds true with or without security vulnerabilities
>>741956724Maybe they should've improved Win11 by actually learning from the pitfalls of their previous systems and NOT use AI?That's THAT simple.
i never had issues with windows 11 can someone explain to me the hate?
>>741974497Germany recently changed all of their government systems from Windows to OpenSUSE Linux so that might be pushing things in Linux's favor there.

>>741973447Yes, yes (you) are.
>>741957034The only reason is if you have modern hardware whose software won't work on 10. I bought a Wave XLR MK2 and the program just wouldn't install on 10 IoT LTSC, and even after finding a workaround, the drivers wouldn't download at all.11 isn't so bad if you upgrade with the newer versions of Rufus that bypass the mandatory account registration and deletes all of the bloat. I would say to wait until they officially release the stable K4 updates, or whatever they're called.
>>741956724>literaly only gooks used internet explorer due to their fucking asinine online frameworks>no seriously, look up how fucking stupid their internet situation was>MS kills off IE in 10>gooks unfuck themselves to meet 2010s standardsExtending 10's life support will only bite MS in the ass.

>>741957034There didn't used to be a really compelling reason to install 10 over 11 if you were making a choice from scratch. But 11 is such a shitshow now, there really isn't one, yeah.As of 22H2 I was perfectly satisfied on 11. Really didn't have any major gripes. As of 25H2, I just really regret it and wish I didn't hate using linux so much. I just can't tolerate it longer than the various things I have to do with it on VM every so often.
>>741979276Just out of curiosity, what was your issue with mint? I've been running Cinnamon for the past 2 years and aside from a couple of troubleshooting I haven't met a problem that I couldn't just google "x thing is not doing y".

>>741996069XT definitely got updated in March.
>>741971140>Anon, Linux still has extremely unintuitive 3 letters folders and retarded incomprehensible filepaths because of memory limitations 50 years ago. The fucking FILEPATHS haven't evolved in 50 years, so where Windows shows you a nice "Downloads" or "Programs" folder, troonix goes "HPE" "DTR". Linux has not evolved one bit in decades, still as dogshit as ever.Look I make a literal living shilling Windows to organizations across the country (I build custom hardened corporate/government images for Windows products professionally) and that might be the most retarded thing I've ever heard. Linux is the opposite of Windows in that it innovates. Linux has no problem dropping literally everything and starting over from scratch, shedding all legacy support. Meanwhile at least 70% of the tricks I employ to "break" Windows to do what I need haven't changed since... well since I started. So Windows 2000. Almost nothing meaningful in Windows has changed. Ever. Any perceived changes to folder structure YOU are seeing are just symlinks and hardlinks. Smoke and mirrors to trick people who don't know shit about computers.

>>741998763>dorkTranny spotted.
>>741994827It says absolutely nothing about “invasive telemetry” you cretin, it says they started building it post-2004 because they couldn’t afford using proprietary software in the future.

>>742001569The people you should avoid are those who speak in faux-apathetic lowercaps at all times. To be clear, I'm not talking about people who speak without grammar in game in order to get their messages out faster. I'm talking about those who sit down to compose an image board post with all the time in the world and willfully choose to omit punctuation and capitalization. They are not doing this to save time. In fact, they may take additional time to redact habitual grammar from their posts.Their motivation for this style of posting is simple. They are trying to present an aura of apathy. They want to communicate: "I don't care about anything, least of all the rules of grammar." The reason they work so hard to cultivate this image of emotional invulnerability is because they are, in actual fact, extremely emotional and unstable people. If you become close to them you will catch glimpses of the volatility lurking beneath their patchwork mask of cool indifference. The lowercaps poster will silently catalog transgressions you have in its eyes committed. You will only become aware of them during the rare tantrum blowups that characterize these people. They must be avoided for your own good. The faux-apathetic lowercaps posters really could not be more pathetic.
