Thread 106613041

you can no longer browser ylilauta, the Finlands answer for 4chan

(it has also international section which is english only)

no browser that currently runs in windows 7 is able to access the site

this happened 2 weeks ago when there was alleged porn raid on the site and all threads started getting the same porn image as an answer to the thread (porn is banned from the site it is meant to be useable for 14 years olds as well as 54 years olds)

I didnt personally witness the porn spam but I guess it could be a believeable situation

so the sysop somehow changed the site code so that no "old" browser can access the site anymore, including windows 7 browsers (thorium, supermium)

newest firefox opens the site just fine but does firefox run in windows 7? answer is no.

>>106613041 (OP)
Perfectly reasonable decision to make, a vanishingly small amount of usually undesirable users still use it so why support it?

>>106613041 (OP)
idk man, it's viable in the sense that if you can get it to do what you want you're golden. But if it stops working for what you use it for, probably time to move somewhere else. I'm not a 7 hater, I still have an install that's actually usable for software from 13ish years ago to mod ps3 games but with older software like this you have to accept it will probably die. Even recently this chrome mv2 shit is probably going to make my old thinkpad non viable. It can do everything assuming I have a usable install of chrome since it's optimization allows me to run everything perfectly. If I switch to any other browser though the performance hit is like 40%. If I cant block ads on that thing in chromium, I'm fucked and will have to just move on or find an alt way like yt-dlp or an alt front end.

Basically if you choose to stay on win 7, start adapting and getting used to not having certain things or install another OS or go hardcore into the niche windows 7 communities who are doing custom mods and updates themselves.

a fairly simple rule of thumb is that if it doesn't work on win7 it's extremely pozzed

I love how Win7 baby ducks were all gangsta until web browsers dropped support for it, then they all started throwing tantrums like toddlers.
It killed any claim that they used Win7 because it only supported certain important software or hardware - no, it was a Reddit terminal, just like freetards (their close cousins).

>>106613132
Miks Firefox on englanniksi, mutta Windows on suomeksi?

>>106613081
Hard agree. I only allow latest version iOS users on latest version Chrome (with no extensions) to access my site. Certain screen resolutions (i.e. Thinkpads) give me the ick, too.

>>106613171
I cant find an unpozzed copy of Windows 7 in English

Otherwise I would prefer use all computer stuff in English due to Finnish translation always seeming to be a bit "off"

>>106613166
>It killed any claim that they used Win7 because it only supported certain important software or hardware

I use Windows XP due to its hardware compatibility for really old and obscure stuff

I wont dare to connect it to internet though, stopped connecting around 2012

Install VxKex, download the latest firefox, then right click on firefox.exe and check "Enable VxKex for this program". Basically VxKex adds the missing functions Windows 7 lacks in its kernel.

linux was garbage 20 years ago and somehow hasn't improved since. making it look less ugly doesn't make it function any better.

Whoever runs that site is some kind of asshole. I have never seen a site do that before. I assume its sending that based on user-agent string.

It's been almost 6 long years since end of support, three newer versions have been EOL'd (8, 8.1 and now 10) and you are still under the delusion that its usable. Even Google has scrapped Windows 7 support now (you get a update your browser message in the default browser unable and you're unable to download another one unless you use a usb stick from a newer computer). Just because Firefox is still making token security updates to an ESR 30 versions out of date doesn't mean its viable.

If I was Cloudflare i would block Windows 7 at the router level (so you woudn't even see a failed verification page it would just say unable to connect). Plus also I noticed Fastly is doing Cloudflare style checks now.

This, I clung on until Chrome stopped being updooted, then I got Mint and things have been smooth sailing ever since, run my Sony Vegas and Photoshop CS6 in virtualbox but at least I can get the newest packages of open source shit like VLC, browsers, etc.

>>106614081
>virtualbox
If you need to run windows apps in a virtual machine instead of wine, you should use winapps rather than VirtualBox.

>>106614097
I'm not sure how glitchy it would be to run Windows 10 in sort of a seamless mode, but I've been so happy with the performance, I'm getting a higher Cinebench score virtually on my old ass i7-8700 than my FX-8350 rig could manage on bare metal with Windows 7, I just copy clips from the phone into my shared folder and edit videos from there and render it back out, barely had to change how I do things and I have the newest Chromium support, so I'm happy.

>windows 7 still viable?
No you fucking moron, install Windows 10/11 LTSC or move to Linux already, goddamn.

>>106613041 (OP)
Only offline, or offline in a vm

I love how Windows 7 is so good that Microsoft got devs to literally force their software to detect OS version to turn off functionality whenever it is W7. It's like a war against people for wanting convenience.

>>106614191
This, it was bad enough when mainstream and hardware support was gone but you could still shitpost on the latest Firefox with windows 7, but it's to the point where you're relying on open source hacks to make shit work, which is basically what fucking Linux is, and you also can't get a new computer, that's the biggest limitation of sticking to Windows 7 that I wish I had moved on from years before, I was clinging onto a computer from 2011 like a dumbass and getting worse performance just to stick with Windows 7, meanwhile RYZEN and all this good shit came out year and years and I could've just been running Linux with full support and getting better performance on the editing apps I was sticking with windows 7 to use.

>>106614236
But...Im running W7 right now on my Ryzen 7?

>>106614234
yeah and this doesnt happen in win10 altough it has been said to go out of support soon

win 8 shouldnt even be discussed since so few people used it so probably we shouldnt compare its longevity to windows 7 at all (I dont even know if its better in that aspect)

>>106614246
Well yes Anon, but it's not officially supposed to be on there like with an old AMD FX rig you just pop the usb in and the installer boots like it's meant to be, it takes a lot of fuckery to make stuff that wasn't suppoed to have 7 on it work, which kinda defeats the point of windows "just working" meanwhile I can get a bunch of parts at my local microcenter, plug in a Linux mint 22.2 USB and have a working computer that is going to outperform anything with Windows 7 on it, that was what pushed me over into Linux, the ease of it working and having great performance was gone when you consider how much faster and less power consooming computers around me were getting compared to my 125w potato with windows 7 on it.

The fuck does this have to do with anti-vaxxers? Is it because if you run windows 7, you want to get infected?

Deal with the facts, Chromium is 31 versions out of date, Firefox is 28 out of date. Missing major features such as CSS has(), WebGPU and more, with AI acceleration being added to browsers Windows 7 gets even further behind. Statcounter reports less than 3% market share, and most of the remainder will upgrade when Windows 10 ends support taking out the remaining Windows 7 computers in corporate offices. For all intents and purposes, Windows 7 is dead on the internet, no matter how many jak faces you make out of the situation.

Google doesn't even load on old Windows versions by default anymore, when the front page of the internet isn't working, then its time to upgrade.

>>106614309
how new it is

>>106614309
It's just silly to put in effort to stay on older software, I stayed on it because my computer ran it natively and it was last installed back when 7 was usable, but after getting a new computer, it's less effort to run the latest Linux mint, get new browsers, get support for newer formats, etc, and still be able to run my Windows 7 virtually with better performance than what I had previously because 12 thread CPU which only gets better if I upgrade which Linux would then support, Windows 7 can't support brand brand new computers, Anon... There's gonna come a point where it just won't work.

Unfortunately, Microsoft didn't do anything. What actually happens is they don't want to hear support tickets from anyone having problems on an OS they don't support, so they claim that the OS is "unsupported" even if it runs fine.

For casual office work and digital art? Of course it is. And then there's Supermium for browsing the web. IPv6 needs to be disabled, though, and as it is vulnerable and will not get patched. This should hurt going forward, eventually. It will break a small number of websites right now, but the vast majority only need IPv4.

>>106614910
They have to be, with all the effort it takes to kinda sorta make things work, and I considered myself a Windows 7 addict as long as I could shitpost and load up all the web pages with it, but once that was gone and I knew I'd be depending on githubshit in order to keep using it online, I fugured I may as well build myself a faster more energy efficient computer and use Linux Mint, which would get me more support along with the increased speed in an OS that people actually have the source code for which Windows 7 will never be.

Just run your browser in a VM.

>>106615551
On what OS though? Linux like you might as well be using? Or the spyware editions of Windows you're trying to avoid by sticking with 7?

What the fuck is going on here? It also takes more system resources to run another whole ass OS under virtualization when one of the big reasons 7 is so good is because it doesn't take a ton of resources to run it, but that gets blown out the second you boot up a virtual machine and it's taking up however much ram you gave it plus CPU cycles.

>>106613501
Complete bullshit. I've been using Linux full time since 2005 and hardware support is incomparable. In 2005 to 2010 you had to research before you bought anything, especially wifi was dreadful and most hardware didn't work. Laptops had problems waking from suspend etc. Some hardware could be made to work but only with hours of painful bullshit. A lot of people had to fuck around desperately with crap like "ndiswrapper". I don't think I've even heard of ndiswrapper since 2010 or somewhere about.

These days you can install Linux mint on almost any random desktop and laptop without even thinking and most stuff works right away except if you have very new hardware. Unthinkable in 2005 or 2006. Especially for laptops

>>106614771
last photoshop compatible with 7 (hell, even with XP) still mogs modern gimp or krita. Same goes for all the software for programming various small electronic peripherals, for radio signal decoding and many other things. Linux can only compete by being a controlled opposition of kikes who want you to be constantly connected to repositories (glorified cloud(tm)). There are still plenty of working web browsers though, so linux still cant compete, unless you fell for the meme and bought new hw.

>>106616562
I totally agree that Photoshop CS6 is the goat, that's why I use it on Windows 7 in my Linux Mint Virtualbox, your needs will outgrow stuff that has Windows 7 support Anon, I could probably still get away with what I had previously, but it's kinda nice having a CPU that goes faster and uses 65w instead of 125, and being able to upgrade to hot new shit that AMD drops, the people trying to run windows 7 on bare metal as their main machine are stuck in time, maybe they won't be less productive as time goes on, but they certainly can't be more productive because Windows 7 is abondonware, I loved the 14 years I spent using it, but it's done if you're relying on the community around it (like linux) to keep it going, meanwhile you don't even have the source code of build 7600 which actually would keep it going forever if people understood the kernel on the level of Linuxfags.

>>106616657
There isn't a single thing in this world that can make updooting to the absolute kikery of modern Windows worth it at the slightest, and troonix is simply inferior controlled opposition. I care neither about power draw nor extra features in nuphotoshop. I can't control modern Windows the same way I can control 7, so I refuse to use it, simple as.

>>106616705
How's Linux controlled opposition Anon? Its open source, everyone controls it, can make their own project, whatever they want.

>>106616750
>Its open source,
Software being open source doesn't magically make it more free or private. Linux is practically controlled by corporations and obsessed commiepedotroons, because without them, it would be in the same situation in which GNU Hurd is nowadays. Software itself is no longer maintainable by hobbyists only since late 80s or so. There is also no clean way to install software locally and offline, as everyone wants you to use repositories of some kind, therefore allowing kikes to tell you what you can or can't do on your computer. On Windows, especially older one, I can have all the software and firmware on usb stick or CDs and recreate my setup fully offline, you can't do this on troonix.

>>106616820
It does make it free Anon, if you and everyone had access to the source code of NT Kernel 6.1, people could make Windows 7 forever with new software to work for it, but it's proprietary so you end up having no control over it, and having backups of old software for your proprietary software is not freedom, Linux doesn't hang onto old outdated shit because with the way computers work, old software needs to be replaced, kernel and drivers constantly getting updated to work on new computers, that's what maintaining something is Windows 7 users are stuck using the same old computer, same old updated software, it's abondonware.

steam is using new compressions shit that doesn't work on the old client so you can't download/update games anymore.
there is a workaround with VxKex but now it broke for me and i can't get it to work again.
>To explain further, we recently enabled a new compression algorithm which is vastly better-performing, and will enable faster downloads with much lower CPU load on clients. It will also improve unlock times for preloads for users on SSD (for spinning disks, the disk writes are the bottleneck). This was good just to save CPU load but it is also necessary for the faster (> 1Gbps) internet speeds people have in some places now, and it also really improves the experience on the Steam Deck.
>New content coming in to Steam is now being compressed with this algorithm; existing content will not be converted. So if you're on an old client version for any of the reasons discussed here, there will still be many games in the catalog you can download and play (so long as they are not being updated, or if you can pin them to a particular build using branches supplied by the developer). Unfortunately we can't support having the data in both formats for new content.

>>106617323
prove it works?

>>106614363
>It's just silly to put in effort to stay on older software,
no, it's not. The effort I put in to keep using 7 is, in the end, fairly minimal, and it results in the best possible home OS experience for me. In contrast, I would have to put in significant effort fighting against the OS if I were to use 10 or 11 to make it just barely acceptable and not anywhere near the level of 7 for me.

10 and 11 not having a working classic theme is already almost a dealbreaker, and add on top of that everything else and it's not worth it, even considering all the hacks I have to do to get software to work on 7.

Linux is somewhat more acceptable. It's easier to change the look and feel but it's still a lot more work than 7 is and it won't run all my software or I'd have to run it through wine or whatever which I'll do at some point when I really can't get 7 to work anymore, but that's not now.

>>106617377
Maybe so but the rest of your operating system has to be updooted to work with new formats, new internet stuff, if you can run this software on XP, it can be run at lightning speed in a VM, and Linux will do that for you on not only a fully supported system, but on a brand new computer if you want, you don't run an ancient ass windows 7 computer and try to hack it to make it half ass work when nothing else supports it.

>>106617346
It does.

>>106617415
>but the rest of your operating system has to be updooted to work with new formats, new internet stuff
It doesn't . Honestly Windows 2000 would still be more viable than linux if it wasn't for the nuhardware / muh web security. Everything from XP onwards is pretty much invincible, as you have plenty of people porting browsers and other software to it. And well, saying stuff like that only proves that troonix is so fucking useless on the desktop for average human being that it needs entire world to introduce artificial blocks on modern software to try and make it look like its on par with 20+ years old windows releases.

>>106617606
Imagine if the NT Kernel underneath based OSes like XP and 2000 were open source, you literally could make a lightweight updooted system with drivers on modern hardware, unless your OS is open source, you're at the mercy of Microshaft and their bullshit.

>Imagine if the NT Kernel underneath based OSes like XP and 2000 were open source,

>unless your OS is open source, you're at the mercy of Microshaft and their bullshit.
again, freetroon. Troonix being open sauce does not make it more independent. Software is no longer maintainable by enthusiasts since last 3 decades or so, therefore whenever redhat, cannonical or other big corporation (including microsoft) wants to do something sketchy with troonix, it happens, because you have no way to stop them. They pay for the development on linux and therefore have a lot to say about its directions. You are not going to fork troonix kernel and all other open sauce software to make your own, usable OS, because you simply have no resources for that, unless you plan to create yet another abomination like gnu hurd.

Haven't needed to reformat & reuse most of them, so they're just gathering dust with old Win7 installs until I do think of a better use. I estimate I'll probably boot my last Win7 system between 3 & 5 years from now, but nothing on any of them is actually broken at this point for anything I'm doing. Did the same thing circa 2015/2017-ish with WinXP. I miss how comfy, stable, lean, & simple they run on solid, well-maintained if slightly aged hardware, but it's a time & energy issue with me. Just can't maintain 8 or 10 different operating systems in addition to all the other daily shit I have to deal with.

>>106613429
Trying the site on Palemoon. The page loads, but is broken. Curiously, trying it on an older version of Chrome simply gives a message saying to update my browser, which leads me to believe that it's blocking Chrome on purpose, since it would otherwise render the page just fine.

>>106613496
Drivers for old hardware. It has them, but they're shit.

>>106617630
There is one massive barrier to getting classic windows running on modern hardware. GPU drivers. Even if you managed to update classic windows support WDDM, it would run like garbage since WDDM has no GDI acceleration functions. One might think you could just software render, no big deal right, modern cpus are fast. But you would be wrong, the issue is pcie is as slow as treacle, so when trying to draw into the gpu frame buffer it would be horrifically slow.

Don't be stupid and use Windows 7 online, you're just begging to be a spyware/crypto farm.
But if you can't upgrade hardware or refuse to use Windows 10/11, just install some Linux OS. You'll be able to use your hardware online, use web browsers, and actually have security updates.

You know there are more reasons someone might like to use old hardware/software than cost.

Do you see old muscle cars drive by and screech in your broken voice at them that they are poor and obsolete? Very low T if so.

>>106621638
What is bot about It is your utter fucking failure to understand modern Web based drive by malware and how little the os affects it and how much more important the browser is to it. And how more important other third party software running on the windows 7 machine is.

You can safely browse fine on almost every old outdated os so long as there exists a translation layer that allows you to run the latest version of modern browsers. For 7 that is vxkek

>>106621701
Cars aren't computers Anon, if anything older cars being so dummy simple make them ideal for daily usage because all cars need to do is steer and go forward backwards, it's not like the car isn't compatible with gasoline or anything, but computers and the software running onto of it do become unusable for internet usage after enough time has passed.

>>106621701
This hypothesis is completely destroyed by the fact that 7iggers generally try to daily drive their deadshitos. Hence why all these hourly cope threads start with "REEEEEE WEB BROWSERS DUN WORK REEEEEE" - why is that?
A muscle car enthusiast has a shitty little hatchback for running around - he isn't taking his Mustang to the supermarket. Yet the 7igger tries - why is that?
Occam's Razor says "because they can't afford a shitty little runabout" - because they're poor (and stupid too, but that's a separate discussion).

It’s never the OS itself. As long as you have an up-to-date browser (like Supermium, or Vxkex-d Firefox) it must be the site itself. You could try setting a different user agent on those browsers to make it think you’re on Win 10.

I hate this Loonixtard argument. No, this makes your DE *look* like Windows 7. It doesn’t add any of the UX though. You still don’t have a GUI-equivanent of the Control Panel, Network Adapter Settings, no system tray in the taskbar, no way to run offline program installers, no way to run some programs at all without a VM.

Your stupid “hurr just switch distro and DE” arguments never address these core concerns.

>>106622741
>You still don’t have a GUI-equivanent of the Control Panel, Network Adapter Settings
Yes you do, that's Plasma Settings (see pic related). It does everything Control Panel can do and more.
>no system tray in the taskbar

>no way to run offline program installers
Yes you do: .deb, .rpm, and .run installers have existed since the Clinton presidency.
>no way to run some programs at all without a VM
Do you mean some Windows programs? If that's your argument, I could just as easily say there's no way to run NES games on my computer without an emulator.

Ikr, it's even sadder seeing them resorting to linux-teir workarounds just to use internet and make things that only work on windows 10 APIs to work on their abandoned proprietary system, it's like bro, you're practically a Linux user, Jesus christ, just get Linux and you'll get browser support and the ability to buy a new computer, it's like they waste so much time sticking to 7 that they could've gotten used to Linux Mint and been happy.

What makes Plasma settings inferior? And if you want an exact Windows 7-style system tray, then AeroThemePlasma has you covered (pic related).
>most packages in this format still need to download dependencies from kike cloud
Then download those dependencies through their respective .rpm or .deb or .run installers. Never mind that offline installers on Windows make you download ffmpeg and lame (and whatever other dependencies they want) yourself, separately, even if you have an internet connection.
>NES games are not nearly as relevant as windows productivity software
Anything you can still run on Windows 7 works on wine, so what is your argument? You're clearly not using Windows 10/11 exclusive software to begin with. I'd like to know what productive work you are still doing on Windows 7 because I'm certain those exact programs will work.

Yes, the very popular software used all over the world in professional, educational, and casual settings. I do mean those Windows-exclusive programs that one unfortunately requires to participate in society. Believe me, I wish schools would use some distro + Libreoffice

What could we be shilling? We're just telling you Windows 7 isn't gonna get anymore support besides hacks and workarounds, which means you basically have no mainstream support which Linuxfags are used too, but unlike them you don't get any system updates or Chrome updates, and you're stuck on whatever hardware you can find that has windows 7 drivers available for it, you're basically living life on hardmode and getting nothing for it, people used to make fun of Linux uses for having to fuck around with their computer during the hayday of windows 7, now the windows 7 users are basically hacking shit for a system that they don't even have source code for just to live in the cracks, meanwhile Linux, and the people on cancerous newer versions of windows have their shit just work.

If your hardware is compatible (ie your CPU was made after 2013) then CachyOS is just the best Arch-based distro, and perhaps the best distro period. I use Fedora on my main PC, but I've used CachyOS and even I'll admit that it has 99% perfect noob onboarding aside from not having pamac preinstalled—and even that can be installed through CachyOS's own GUI tools. The only reason I use Fedora instead of CachyOS is because I can put a Windows 7 theme on Discover (the software centre on Fedora KDE), but not on pamac lol.
>getting it to work requires hackerman powers
Linux in 2025 genuinely requires no hackerman bullshit or terminal usage provided you pick a decent distro; Mint isn't one of those distros. Mint "works" out of the box, but making it a decent experience requires WAY too much tinkering and research, none of which you have to do on any modern distro.

To get around that you would have to download entire repositories that consist of hundreds of gigabytes of data. On Windows 7 I can just put all the offline installers on usb stick and install it easily on any other machine.
>Yep.
Another tranny lie, since its physically impossible for you to verify that.
>Download wine and the job is already done
compatibility layers like this one will never be as good as native solution
>How long ago was this? And did you run PDW through wine?
about 1 year ago, and yes. Despite being relly old, PDW mogs pretty much all the equivalents in decoding acars signals, especially if they are pre-recorded samples.

You can download any Debian or Fedora package from the repo in your browser and install locally, retard. I think I've found the perfect distro for you: https://web.archive.org/web/20121127163753/http://linuxforniggers.us/

I'll concede on the first one, good to see some DE incorporated such a common-sense features after the shitfest in had to go through in trying to remove SSID information from distros running xfce.
Second one is not really what I was thinking of, even Windows has these quick "power profiles". I was referencing Processor Power Management in CP's Advanced Settings which lets you permanently disable TB regardless of the power state, but your example is good enough.

Now Gimp 2.8 I'm curious about - I've never been able to install and run it since 2.10 became bundled with Ubuntu-based and Debian-based distros. How the heck did you run that? And please don't say Wine.

>Are you going to name any of these programs that work on Windows 7 but not Linux?

iTunes and Apple Mobile Device Support come to mind - I've seen older versions of iTunes work but the AMDS component to interface with iOS doesn't. Well, you do get libmobiledevice on Linux so at least there's that. But iTunes is irreplaceable for music metadata management.

Camtasia is another one, and so is Filmora (video editors in general).

IMGBurn is another one, I've never been able to find a better optical-media management program.

JDownloader2 (after debloating) is the only download manager with proxy *AND* download speed throttling I've been able to find.

And finally, Image Composite Editors is the undisputed king of stitching together satellite imagery and it's a Microsoft tool if you can believe that.

>For me, Linux has been a drop-in replacement for Windows

Which is fine, but it's ridiculous to suggest everyone will have the same experience. Case in point- I'm responding to you. Well, ok, you DID change my mind on a few points.

There's also a feature I forgot earlier, FDE *after* the OS install a'la Bitlocker.

No they don't. I've been a software engineer for years and I hardly ever see a windows server, never saw a bsd server, saw old hpux and solaris servers, and the large majority by far and undoubtedly are red hat Linux servers. They don't have competition except other Linux servers.

Why would you think I'm in UK? I'm in Portugal, and USA also has a much bigger percentage of redhat. The west in general loves redhat. Windows is only found in very specific cases, like managing workgroups or legacy software. Perhaps you're confusing what you work with, with the actual backbone.

>>106634325
Yes that's what I'm telling if Linux is exclusively used by trannies in your mind. I shit you not, see for yourself: https://w3techs.com/technologies/overview/operating_system

Also Ubuntu Server is even more popular than RHEL today and Windows used to have 20% market share two years ago, and now it has 10% and it's shrinking. Note that some Unix-like are unknown, but probably Linux. Some companies hide which OS it is but it's safe to say it's probably Linux unless explicily BSD, Solaris, HPUX, etc.

Windows has not been popular in servers for years. It's mostly used in workgroups or very specific cases. There's no pointing in fighting this trend, Windows is not a good OS for servers. Too much bloat, attack vectors and complicated unpredictable update system make it a poor choice.

>>106636369
No in the US they use Windows servers alongside linux servers. Friends with multiple DBA and data server people. Companies in the US are more microsoft friendly. Just how it is.

>>106613041 (OP)
itt: people being unreasonably angry about other peoples choice of OS and browser.

>>106636650
I don't give a single fuck about your opinion: https://w3techs.com/technologies/overview/operating_system

This is the hard cold fact that you don't want to believe, 90% of web servers are Unix, with a very high probability of being Linux, period. I don't care about your personal friends experience or servers, that is the fact, that is worldwide. USA in fact is heavily cloud based and no cloud is running Windows, period. This is not debatable. Not even Azure runs Windows and that's a Microsoft product.

If you want to know why windows declined to 10% it's because Linux has containers, atomic upgrades, immutable distros, less attack vectors, better Linux only tools, and it's cheaper to maintain.

If you want to believe your fantasy, be yourself. It's not true and windows is declining further down. You can see that in that site as well. It used to have 20% market share now it has 10% and going down.

>>106636743

>Windows 7 has a literal mountain of vulnerabilities that will never be fixed.
Linux has a mountain of issues that is never fixed. At least if you were shilling Macos, it would make more sense. Thats the only unix system that matters in the linux world.

I don't know why there always has to be so much shitposting between win 7 and Linux
I dual boot 7 and Arch and both OSes serve different purposes for me with 7 being my main

>>106636872
> are you in the UK? We use windows servers a lot here in the US.

10% is a lot? You simply found out your claim was bullshit and now you came up with more bullshit excuses. Windows is hardly ever used in servers and if you work as a programmer or sysadmin you will hardly ever find it, except in workgroups, legacy software, or Microsoft. You don't use a lot of Windows in USA in servers, it's simply not used a lot worldwide.

>>106636986
Because Windows 7 is a security risk. At least make 10 your main.

>>106636941
Maybe Linux does have issues depending on what you mean, but the difference is Windows 7 issues will never be fixed. It shouldn't be used by anyone.

Why not just use 11 LTSC with 7 theme hacks?

>>106639204
I built this older machine right when the 8350 came out. I've never had any problems other than refreshing the thermal paste on the GPU and CPU whenever the temps start going up. Hell the case it's in is an old Lian-Li from like the late 90s.

I only use it these days for some old CAD software and a few games.
