People like to say this, but can you even define what "modern software" is?

>>105996404
modern applications, aka any program that is regularly updated or came out recently, require equally recent libraries.
these applications might run on windows 7, they probably won't though. and if they don't you might be able to hack your way into making it run, but the longer win 7 goes unsupported, the harder that will become. and of course, if you try asking for support from the application developer you'll get laughed in your face and told to upgrade.

>>105996559
>modern applications, aka any program that is regularly updated or came out recently, require equally recent libraries.
a lot of them will work just fine with vxkex or have custom builds without those.
>if you try asking for support from the application developer you'll get laughed in your face and told to upgrade.
Why should we even try talking to codetroons at the first place?

New CPUs don't support it

>>105996708
>vxkex or have custom builds without those.
those are hacks that potentially remove functionality.
there's no happy ending for windows 7, it will eventually die like every other system before it. that's the way of proprietary software, you don't have access to the source code, so you can't even keep it going if you would want to.

>>105996729
>those are hacks that potentially remove functionality
I use multiple "hacked" programs like this and never had any issues with them
>there's no happy ending for windows 7, it will eventually die like every other system before it.
Everything from XP onwards is practically unkillable.
>that's the way of proprietary software
Let me guess, commiepedotroon. You want us to switch to your fauci-approved controlled opposition, also known as troonix?
>you don't have access to the source code, so you can't even keep it going if you would want to.
People who develop hacks for legacy windows usually dont have access to source code and do better job than most foss codetroons.

>>105996856
>dont have access to source code
that's actually a big deal because it makes implementing anything new much more tedious. good stuff was made in FOSS when upstream just kept going and the projects were forked, like cinammon in linux mint which is currently the most recommended to new users.
you can stay on windows if you like, but you'd be ready to swallow the bitter pill that is windows 11.

7 is really aesthetic but 10 is nice too, so is 11. i dont see a reason for ms to make versions beyond 10 and 11. its already at peak usability.

>>105996880
>that's actually a big deal because it makes implementing anything new much more tedious.
proprietary hackers/modders have way more skills on average than fosstroons, and their work is more worthy than all FOSS software taken together.
>good stuff was made in FOSS
Good FOSS software is an oxymoron.
>you can stay on windows if you like, but you'd be ready to swallow the bitter pill that is windows 11.

Troonix still has inferior software/hardware compatibility, inferior UI, RTFM culture, community full of obsessed commiepedotroons and is not safer than any other OS.
