Enjoy sending telemetry to Microsoft only for your OS to get worse every time a new release comes out.
10 users are in the same bus as 7 users. Might as well downgrade to 7 once everything magically stops working on 10 despite working in the same environment prior, amirite?
10 does not magically become a privacy respecting, optimized OS after support is dropped. It is still a frankenstein combination of old native code and XAML bullshit among whatever other "frameworks" Microsoft plops onto their OSes now.

You've been doing the same exact thing with your computer you were doing a decade ago. Why upgrade if you aren't invested in AAA gayming??

>>106878622
Omarchy is pretty retarded as a distro itself, very weird choice of bloat, only really worth for its hyprland config

>>106878659
I don’t particularly like things like Wine, the real question is not how to get Windows apps running on Linux, it’s how to achieve the same result without them.

>>106878867
Get an ad, I’ve seen you promote this particular website in a different thread already. Plus, you sound like you’re having a meltdown.

>>106880411
I mean, it’s one way to dodge the EoL, better than cuckolding by subjecting yourself to Windows 11, and I’m not mad because I can’t run it, matter of fact, I can, I’m mad because Windows 11 is generally a duct taped piece of shit.

Continuation from >>106882510

Generally, just switch to Linux, Mint is always a good starting point for the completely inexperienced. If you know at least a bit already maybe Fedora KDE is for you.

Europe gets one year updates for free, so i'm doing that for now

>>106878486 (OP)
not OP but same situation
whats better? ive heard of Linux distros but i'm totally unfamiliar with them
why shouldnt i stay on W10 is this for safety reasons?

>>106882543
Just installed mint a few hours ago. I used my beloved Windows 7 for years until I was forced to get 10, which as meh as it was, I held onto it until the bitter end because I knew that 11 was even more assfucked. And so here I am.
My current main task rn is trying to find ways to make things resemble W7 or W10, just for ease of use.

>>106878486 (OP)
Windows 11 installeren makker

>>106882726
More or less, it already sort of does resemble Windows 7 or 10 in terms of layout, the panels, the file manager, not that big of a deal.

If you really want to make it resemble Windows 7 like aesthetically there’s themes for Mint Cinnamon (I assume you use this variant) but they’re pretty crap, I’d recommend aerothemeplasma which is what I use but it’s for KDE and it isn’t tested on anything Debian-based as far as I know.

I'm in the eu so not a problem for me but also not updating and am multi booting bsd and linux, I think I'll use bsd and linux online and windows offline, the windows updates are atrocious and break things

>>106882726
Trying to keep it like windows is a losing game. Adapt and thrive.

>>106882957
Is it though? It’s fun to rice things, I have my KDE look like picrel, been like this for months, barely changed anything, have it like this for the love of the ricing game though, I’ve used base GNOME and I kinda liked it, used base KDE for a time too, also good and never riced Cinnamon

>>106880818
I hate that you recommend to install Windows 11, but still: The only sane bill gates deepthroater on this board.

>>106882628
If you were able to get around with Win7, you'll feel right at home with Linux Mint.
If you are a GenZ kid, that only knows Android, iOS and Win10, then simply go to Win11. Your gen is fucked and I have no idea how to unfuck you anymore.

>>106883055
I dunno, I have a couple of ideas on how to unfuck my own generation, gen alphas and betas are probably goners though

>>106883075
That said the kids you talk about are probably born after 2007, they tend to be like that and I have no idea why.

>>106883011
Not really, the windows 11 updates are just as bad, the drive bricking problem affects windows 10 as well

>>106883010
sovl

>>106883075
I have ideas as well, but then you meet kids fresh out of school, that don't understand the concept of a filesystem and make no effort to understand it.
The first is the parent's and the teachers' fault, but the latter is something more fundamental rooted in the children themselves. And at that point, you start to wonder, if maybe it's simply a lost cause at this point.

>>106883184
I think that’s a normie thing, not exclusive to zoomers, normies aren’t known to be tech literate, let alone tech savvy

I don’t know what generation you belong to (as far as I know late 90s still counts as zoomer) but I’m certain tech illiterate people exist there too. The real problem is corporates pandering to the generally inept, and the generally inept accept that with arms wide open, we gotta teach em to reject such things without making them learn what is a terminal given that normies rarely use an operating system for anything other than the internet.

tl;dr if we as people wanna win against corporates we gotta win over normies to our side, not that difficult of a concept to grasp.

Another real problem is that people are just naturally dense so it isn’t a walk in the park, give normies obvious benefits of using libre over corpoware, like “it’s faster”, “you don’t get raped by forced updates” and avoid using buzzwords that repel normies like “it’s open-source” or “you can rice it”, they at best don’t care about that

>>106883306
It's the "making no effort"-thing.
They give one the impression, that they think, they had a right to "itjustworks".

>>106883410
>people are just naturally lazy
FTFY
As long as they can afford that stance, because they have the money to pay non-lazy people to fix their shit, this is fine.
The thing is: Lazy people usually don't have that.

anyone else not seeing the option to enroll in the ESU?

>>106883461
Being lazy and being dense are different things what you put out is a brand new statement compared to what I said.

Normies are better off with MacOS. Windows for boring old offices, MacOS for creatives and producers, and Linux for programmers and script kiddies. Everyone else would be fine with their smartphones.

Dual boot literally any Linux distro and Windows 10 LTSC. I use Bazzite as my main OS and the latter to play the handful of games that use kernel level anticheat. Idgaf about LTSC losing security updates 7 years from now. At that point I'll probably be too old to care about multiplayer games anyway.

>>106885837
Apple is for people who wanna waste way too much money on while great, very locked down hardware, and I say this as I use an iPhone. I say be wise with money and what you already have (even if said what you have is an Apple product). It’s interesting how you point out that Windows is better for offices while Linux combined with LibreOffice (people I know in real life, who are normies may I tell you, even dare recommend it) provide a more cost efficient (as with Windows and Microsoft Office you pay licensing unless you pirate, though we are talking about offices, not us mere mortals) alternative without any major disadvantages in terms of both the operating system and office suite.
As for the software library each system offers, just remember that it is not the fault of the operating system, it’s that of the developers who willingly compiled for only one or two of them (and Apple’s because apparently you gotta pay just to develop apps :/)

Has win10 thrown up a nag dialog for ESU or something yet? If so I want a screenshot of it to put winpiggies in their place if they get uppity.

I'll just keep using IoT LTSC until 2032 and if I'm still alive by then and Windows 12 is still garbage I'll move to some linux distro.

>>106886937
Did you not read the entire post? When LTSC loses support it'll be 2032 and I'll be in my mid 30s. By that point I'm not gonna care about multiplayer games anymore. I'm losing interest in them as is. I'll probably just use a simple lightweight distro like Mint or CachyOS for everything. Might even invest some time into learning how to do shit with Arch if I really wanna make a hobby out of it. I'll be too busy with my career to have time for vidya most likely anyway.

>>106887657

my win10 is gutted so much i dont even see that menu anymore bro

upgrading from win10 to win11 with a new-ish asus motherboard (those that come with armoury crate) can irreversibly destroy windows firewall. not joking. it'll boot normally first time but a restart later and it will be permanently borked. at this point no repair (dism, sfc, repair windows installation, defaulting the firewall, forcing the service back online, etc) other than a full wipe and clean windows install works.

took me 5 hours to find the fix in a small thread, restore point to before destroying the firewall forever, then use psexec to give full control of regedit because asus spams the appcs debuggedloopingapps, like 1000 entries, and that somehow fucks up the value for that string which will break firewall (and ms store but no one wants that anyway).
the thread was from 2022 btw and asus still haven't fixed it.

conclusion: never EVER _EVER_ buy asus.

Any other anons that are getting this "end of support" on iot ltsc please chime in and tell us how you installed iot ltsc.
This needs to be known if this happens because a lot of people are moving to iot ltsc through the workaround and need to know not to do it if it causes problems.

I tried one just for this.
Their window handling was a no-go, it's basically an OS for a mobile phone.
It cannot handle multiple instances of an app properly, it's a nightmare to use on multiple monitors.
Either all the windows on an app are focused or none are. Can't have browser on one screen and work on the other, it will focus the browser on screen 2 too...
It's a hassle to swithc between windows of the same app.

Just. Update. To. Windows. 11.

>>106889585
There is no guarantee you will get to have a local account. The workarounds keep getting shut down. What's to stop microsoft from just removing local accounts from the code entirely in the near future?
Nah, windows 11 is not the answer. The answer for now is windows 10 iot ltsc. That buys time for someone to hopefully jump on this huge opportunity of making a windows clone that is open source and lightweight, free of microsoft.

I can tell you that I verified the hash and it's an exact match to microsoft's iso. That means it a perfect match to the bit. It's safe.
It might not activate the first time you try, if that happens just restart and try again. If it still doesn't activate turn tpm off in your bios and try again.

As a user of Windows for last 25 years i can gladly tell you switch to Linux and do it immediately. Nothing is worth of installing that piece of shit W11 on your computer... nothing.

trying to upgrade to LTSC but it just doesnt work. it says i need to switch to the language the LTSC iso is in, but when i switch literally everything to english and delete my language, it still says that my Default system UI language is of my country

You have 3 options:

. Go back to a less pozzed version of Windows (64-bit 7 will give you the greatest leverage) and invest some time re-familiarizing yourself with it and learning how to secure it and bring it up to date, only sacrificing a bit of compatibility with modern jeetware.

. Neet out, learn Troonix from scratch and give up everything good you had going on in terms of access to quality software.

. Burn a bunch of cash on a new Mac and forget about it. Yes, you're going to be spied on 24/7, and yes, you won't own anything installed in your computer, and yes again, you'll have zero control over the system, but at least the overall experience will be more pleasant and you won't be nagged and threatened like you are now.

All things considered, since Windows 10 users are low iq NPC's who roll with new thing no matter what, I'd say they'll just get on the 11 train regardless. It's only going to take a a couple of weeks or so before they realize they don't have the agency to shoot for better things.

>>106891623
I'm holding onto windows as long as I can. I fucking hate linux. If I ever switch to it it's because I am forced to settle for it. I am hoping that before 2032 a windows clone will be available, not linux trying to imitate windows, but a real windows clone.

>>106890765
>Tell me how to secure the computer my family's using without telling them to switch to 11.
You have 3 choices:
>1. Free ESU for 1 year. (You need to log in to your Microsoft account and sync your PC settings, and enroll in Windows Update settings)
>2. Paid ESU for 3 years (Free activation via TSforge in MAS).
>3. Use W10 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2021 (Updates until Jan 13, 2032).

I'd recommend activating the 3 years of ESU with MAS for now and switching to IoT LTSC 2021 if you still want to use Windows 10 in 3 years:
https://github.com/massgravel/Microsoft-Activation-Scripts

>>106891845
>Paid ESU for 3 years (Free activation via TSforge in MAS)
I did this and it says its all working when checking activation status but the actual windows update page still says
>your version of windows has reached the end of support. your device is no longer receiving security updates
so is it working or will it say that even if you're getting esu updates?

>>106891836
I hope too because Linux will not hold out for too long because troons are destroying it from inside and rewriting shit into Rust.

What's so bad about windows 11? It's basically just windows 10 but with a new interface tho?

>>106891897
If you're enough of an NPC to deliberately use 10 and like it, the only logical way forward is 11. You have no standards, embrace the slop.

>>106891931
Who's to fucking blame for this.

>>106891931
cheers. years 1-3 and 6 all say active. so even if the windows update page keeps saying this it'll still give me the updates when they come out or is there some other way I'll need to use to get the esu ones?

>>106891988
If the command says it's active then don't worry about the EOL info in Windows Update, you'll still get updates
Also, if anyone isn't sure about entering some command they've never seen before, it's a native Windows tool to check activation:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/get-started/activation-slmgr-vbs-options

MAS said in the info about this that windows mistakenly are showing it for the LTSC channels. does that matter or is it all good so long as the esu addons are active?

>>106892054
AFAIK it doesn't matter and as long as slmgr.vbs /dlv says ESU is activated then you're fine

Some autism versions of Windows 7 also used to have years of support, but Chromium and Element were quick to drop support for 7 as soon as EOL hit for the normie versions, with other software vendors following suit. Watch them repeat history within the next month.

Wrong
Windows 7 had 3 years of ESU (Jan 2020 to Jan 2023) and all major browsers supported it until the end of ESU. Popular software like Steam also supported Windows 7 until the end of ESU

>There are no isos
Massgrave hosts LTSC ISOs (you can't download them directly from Microsoft as a consumer, but you can still check the SHA256 on Microsoft's official Visual Studio website to be sure they're 100% genuine)

>>106880411
does it need to be a full clean install?

>>106892437
It's supposed to be, but there's a method for upgrading to IoT LTSC without re-installing:
https://massgrave.dev/windows10_eol

skill issue

>>106892437
You SHOULD, I don't care who tells you it doesn't need to be. Hell, I think a reformat is necessary anytime the version number of your windows build would change, so a completely different build altogether? Yea just do a clean install.
But apparently there are workarounds to putting iot ltsc on there without it. That's putting an awful lot of faith in jeetsoft not btfo'ing your system though.

It was a fresh clean install. Followed this guide https://rentry.co/ltsc#optimize-offline
Yes, I did the debloat thing too. It was a little different back in 2022 though, but similar fork.

>>106891286
I wonder if we have any similarities?
I have some group policies on from optimize-offline.
I have a firewall on too, set to block everything by default. The malwarebytes firewall.

Please explain to me, without being irrationally dismissive, why Linux Mint wouldn't be the superior option at this point for general desktop users with general software needs.

>>106878622
Woah we got the next Hitler over here

>>106892870
Mint or anything else it doesn't matter. The troonix software selection for "general needs" is so poor it basically makes it impossible for a Windows user to switch. As soon as they have to deal with pozzed garbage like LibreOffice or Gimp, the troonix honeymoon is over even if everything else works, which objectively there's no chance it will.

There's also the issue of inferior hardware/driver support which filters out retarded, infantilized video game simps, a considerable majority in 2025.

All in all it comes down to the better devil you know vs the worse one you don't.

>>106893640
Next Hitler would be a compliment to a median 4chan user for your info, I personally think dude is retarded because he’s installing basically base Arch only with a hyprland config and the weirdest bloat in existence.

We'll be having the same threads when Win 11 support ends and people will be saying how much better it is than 12. This is the case with every new win OS besides maybe 7, where most people gladly switched from Vista.

>>106894688
I went from XP to 10. Liked both OS. On 11 right now and still getting used to it, but 10 is unironically a good OS if you know how to tweak it to not be bloatware.

Status report? I'm pretty sure anyone switching to Linux just now because of this, isn't really motivated to use it and will go back crying to Windows once something breaks and their easy installer can't fix it.

>bring out a new windows every year or two years
>kill the preceding one

what is the business model here? back in the day you could use windows for as long as you wanted and were not made to update.

The only purpose for this OS is to run my games so as long as Steam/GOG/Epic/others work I don't give a fuck. I dualboot Ubuntu where I do everything else. Compute games are absolutely the only reason this OS is relevant these days.

>>106898992
It's just words on a screen, you still get security updates. Jeets at microsoft ruled this message out for all windows 10 versions because jeets are fucking retarded.

I don't even think Win11 will work on my machine, maybe it's finally time to switch Linux.

I'm a techlet and mostly use my PC for games (modern and emulators). Some AI slop too, some basic work (mostly in browser).
Which Linux distro should I install?

Some retarded pajeet added LTSC to the EoS list https://archive.ph/LcHf9 it's already been updated and removed from that list https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/end-of-service-statement-e440a698-de79-4ace-b53b-5a6a3e36685e
The warning will stay there until they fix that but you are still getting updates if you have LTSC
Microjeets just can't do anything right not even the most basic shit

>>106899796
thanks for clarifying, thought i'd have to get ass raped on 11

Why not just upgrade to 11?

>telemetry is already awful on 10
>AI "features" can be turned off
>shit like the cucked task bar or context menu can be fixed

If your PC can run it, there's no reason not to upgrade

>>106899818
because opening a context menu should be instantaneous
because every single change they made was for the worse
because it requires hardware fingerprinting to run officially

Why would anybody suggest going from 10 to 11 instead of linux if you feel you must upgrade?

>>106899818

>telemetry

wtf does that even mean? It's my operating system not my fucking SaaS

>>106899796
Jeets are just horrible in general. Awful, awful people. That's a topic for another thread though.

On Windows it's mostly diagnostic data. You can disable it with regedit.

They live in literal hell on earth that they created and it's done nothing to slow their breeding habits down. A people that create hell wherever they go and exponentially breed no matter how terrible their conditions are because their standards are non existent. Jeets are a plague and will be the death of this world, their genetics and low standards/explosive breeding is spreading across the world now like open sores on a plague victim and planet earth is the plague victim, and the first sore started in a place called india...
I am deeply concerned for the future, there won't be one if they spread too fast and far.

>>106883184
MacOS does its best to hide the filesystem from you. I had to Google on how to show the file path in MacOS and even after toggling the right button it took me 30 seconds to actually see where it was shown on screen given how tiny the bar is. Not surprised people who grew up on MacOS don't know what a filesystem is.
But as for Zoomers who grew up on Windows I'm pretty sure they grasp it as it is such an integral way of moving through your files on Windows. (Tough I suppose there is a subset that might entirely rely on the recent files feature or just place everything on the desktop. But that subset of sub 80 IQ retards would have been lost 20 years ago as well.)

Well, you’re talking to the dude who mains Arch, I think it’s for those who are willing to not listen to advice that just make your life difficult and maintain their distro at least once a day (updating and whatnot).

Why when the manual activation on mas is just dropping a non executable xml file a folder then putting an activation key in?
It's nice that they have a script, but it ain't necessary at all. One of the reasons people won't do it is they don't want to run a strange script. You don't need to.

>>106904066
We know it's 100% because we're not retarded nocoders. It's good you stand by your own ignorance but it's another thing to double up and be proud of it. Maybe Arch Linux is more your speed.
