Thread 106905295

What happens to you negroes when LTSC support runs out in a few years?

They're counting on Windows 12 being out by then and that somehow it won't be even worse than 11.
lmao

Nothing, ever.

>>106905295 (OP)
will finally install gentoo

windows 10 is the windows 7 of windows versions

>>106905295 (OP)
My main problem with 11 is the retarded hardware requirements. I don't want to have to use a modified install just to install in in the hope it won't cause problems later on. My current PC is old sure, but it's more than capable of doing what I need. It'll stay on 10 until I build a new machine then I'll probably turn it into a esxi host.

Start dualbooting Windows 12 for gayming and Linux for everything else

>>106905295 (OP)
Unironically Linux for better or worse.

>>106905295 (OP)
They do the same as with the Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10 etc. They cry about how shit Windows 12 and 13 are, and tell everybody how good Windows 11 is. Baby ducks with stockholm syndrome. I remember how much we hated Windows 7 and now zoomers circle jerk how it was the best OS ever in the history. Some do the same with XP and older versions.

>>106905295 (OP)
If by 20 fucking 32 windows 12 is still garbage and I'm still alive, I'll just spend my remaining time learning how to linux.

>>106906604
>Some do the same with XP and older versions.
True, but there is also a massive difference in XP at release and XP sp3 or XP-64.
Release version was ass, sp1 was a insecure mess, sp2 it got better. Sp3 and XP-64 was great, if you could find drivers for the 64bit version that is.
Same with 7 but in slightly smaller steps of horrible to functional.

Same thing as I'm doing now. Stick to Linux, keep a Windows VM for the unavoidable situations, and wash my hands after using it.

>>106905295 (OP)
The hedge is that by 2032 Linux will be less of a meme by enough to be able to use by people with jobs.

Windows 12 is going to be good

>>106905295 (OP)
6 more years left. Probably 2 more Windows versions will be released, and I'm afraid this time, we won't be following the good windows / bad windows alternating schedule. They will be even worse than 11, and 11 is already inexcusable. However, it might end up looking better once we see the alternatives.
It is really too soon to tell. The only thing I know is that I ain't switching to Linux or Mac.
tl'dr nothing ever happens >>106906124

>>106909487
Windows 12 is going to be 100% AI/jeet written, cloud based, and with a subscription model. It will be the last windows version because it will be so intolerable normies will jump ship to apple and everyone else will jump ship to win7 forks or Linux.

they will install windows 11, then they will loudly cling to it when windows 12 comes along
I still remember what happened win7 got discontinued

>>106909487
Windows 10 is good now? What happened?

>>106909626
>now
I fucking hate normalfags. LTSB has been out for over 10 years now.

>>106909598
Yeah, it's impossible to take these zoomer retards seriously.
Windows 8.1 (Windows 9) was better than 7 and 10.

>>106909626
Windows 10 was always good, I only hated microsoft for forcing update from Windows 7

Windows 11 for work. Linux for privacy.

>>106905295 (OP)
I'll switch to templeos

>>106905295 (OP)
why don't we make our own windoze os?

>>106905295 (OP)
i mean i switched to linux on pretty much all my devices at this point.
i'm only keeping around one windows machine for work because linux dosen't have lazy nezumi.
and no dragonfuckers krita cannot come even close to providing what lazy nezumi provides don't even fucking try.

>>106909459
Been thinking about this for a while. Does gpu pass through work as well? I want be able to us my DAWs and local ai without battling with compatibility issues.

*cough* nvidia

>>106905295 (OP)
I will buy a radeon gpu and switch to linux.

I haven't done it now because I'm playing co-op mod vidya with my cousin and I don't wanna tinker. That + Nvidia drivers are still proprietary.

>>106905295 (OP)
Wimdows daily driver here. Not my problem desu.

>>106906250
This.
Debian 15 with KDE.

>>106905295 (OP)
It's already tempting right now with Debian 13.

>>106909459
In my polite opinion windows VMs aren’t really necessary anymore.
WINE is very compatible these days and it’s more lightweight than any VM deployment. The only time it doesn’t work is if there’s some kind of DRM or anticheat, which is going to give your VM the boot as well.

>>106909626
Collective amnesia.
Wintards have just conveniently forgotten how much people HATED Windows 10 on its initial release.
The same way they also forgot how much they initially hated Windows XP.
The same way they also forgot how much they initially hated Windows 95.
Starting to see the pattern?
The good/bad cycle is pure cope.
Windows has been getting progressively shittier for decades.
It's just that every so often Microsoft will shit the bed a little harder than usual.
Now that Microsoft is completely and utterly overrun with jeets, you can expect things to get worse a LOT quicker.

>>106905295 (OP)
Microsoft will no longer get anything from me.
Not my money (they NEVER did), not my data and neither my attention.
My workstation runs Rocky now.
My gaming/standard machine and my laptop has CachyOs.
My other laptop has Void and/or whatever else I want to play around with.
I nuked 3 Windows 10 systems in the last weeks - I'll keep the one on my workstation because it is offline either way.

>>106906154
>finally install gentoo
I did five years ago when Windows 7 went out of support and my only regret is that I didn't do it sooner

By then, hoping I can finally migrate all of my p!rated plugins and applications to Debian.

>>106905295 (OP)
>What happens to you negroes when LTSC support runs out in a few years?
Realistically, most of them will bend over and install Windows 11.
Then, when Windows 11 hits EOL in 2035, they'll bend over and install Windows 12.
Because they're retarded nigger cattle who don't know any better.

>>106905295 (OP)
Switching to Linux, 100%.
10 LTSC is the last Windows without AI, Copilot, Recall, facial recognition, forced online account, forced cloud synchronization, Keylogging and so on.
And if you think this aint that bad, wait what Windows 12 will do.

When LTSC support runs out, I'll move to Linux, Idc if my Kernel Anti Cheat games arent supported, I can already daily drive linux, just like 90% of /g/. If I'm still addicted to those fucking games, I'll just get a console in addition.

>>106909541
>>106906604
I don't know why you act like this is some kind of gotcha. Windows keeps getting worse and as newer, worse versions are released, older versions look better by comparison.

The best version of Windows is the oldest version that's still functional for modern usage.

>>106909541
Imagine a person who spends every waking moment with a dildo up their ass.
It's uncomfortable, it's painful, but everybody else is doing it, and they just want to "fit in."
Every so often the dildo breaks, but the only replacement dildos available are more painful than the previous model they were accustomed to.
They loudly complain, but eventually they bend over and take the newer, painful dildo up the ass.
Eventually, their prolapsed anuses accommodate the new ass fucking they're subjecting themselves to, which then allows Big Dildo to fuck them even harder the next time.
And when you respond to their complaining by suggesting they just stop fucking themselves in the ass like some retarded faggot, they reflexively screech "BUT I NEEEEEEEEEED MY DILDO!"

I have just summarised the mentality of most Windows users, and hopefully you can now understand why I can't take them seriously.

>>106905295 (OP)
dnf upgrade

>>106915508
>I can already daily drive linux, just like 90% of /g/
I'd wager the actual percentage is closer to 9%

>>106915854
all windows threads are either tech support threads from off-board refugees or that one jeet who keeps ranting about how much he hates OpenSource for no declared reason.
Similar to how the Mac threads are just that single Jay guy.

>>106915881
>all windows threads are either tech support threads from off-board refugees or that one jeet who keeps ranting about how much he hates OpenSource for no declared reason
Those are also Jay threads

>>106905295 (OP)
dgaf. I'll be a retro connoisseur then
I use MacOS & both Windows 10 LTSC and Windows 7 embedded POS ready, even to this day.
gaming? GOG > Steam (don't even have Steam account). literally means old games, Old Windows OS always work there.
work? offered on choice for Windows 11, MacOS, or Linux. Go for MacOS.

>>106915854
Lol. But I just mean normal PC stuff. Installing apps, use your browser, office, discord, emails. Everybody can do that on Mint, thats why I said 90%. Gaming also works, except those fucking Kernel Anti Cheat games. And shit like Adobe and MS Office won't work.
>>106915881
I think most people don't know much about windows. Even I feel like I don't know much about it, but when my friends have problems, I'm the one that helps. Just learn how to use search engines and or fucking AI.

>>106915933
Crazy, how you sound like a based online freedom, consumer rights and ownership dood, but recommend macos in the end, wtf.

>>106911688
The VM is mainly for small programs that would not be used so often to require Wine (Note to self: I need to try bottles), so I was not taking into account the GPU. Worst case scenario, I have a cheap MiniPC lying around that I could use for W11 or W12 unavoidable scenarios.

>>106915948
>except those fucking Kernel Anti Cheat games.
I have yet to encounter a single game that uses Kernel-level anti-cheat that I've actually wanted to play.
Feels good to not be a mindless consoooooomer of triple-gay slop.

>>106911688
Local AI works perfectly fine on Linux, in fact Nvidias drivers are optimized af for it. The whole AI infra runs on Linux, thats where Nvidia cares and where it matters, not the 5% desktop userbase.

>>106915975
Somebody at work was complaining that when he tried to play certain game, it would refuse to run with a prompt asking the motherboard firmware (sic). Knowing him, it was probably something from Activision or Riot.

I don't play that much anymore, much less AAA slop, so I'm considering a move from Nvidia to AMD in the future.

>>106909598
Windows 10 being only marginally better than Windows ME is insulting to anyone who had to actually use that OS.

>>106916005
>it was probably something from Activision or Riot
Or EA

>>106905295 (OP)
Upgrade to Windows AI aka windows 13

>>106905295 (OP)
I only use my pc for gayming anymore, I have a macbook for doing actual work. My pc will be outdated dogshit by 2032 so I'll just buy whatever the new playstation or nintendo is then if I still haven't quashed my gaming addiction.

>>106918275

Kek.
