Thread 714615265

Is it worth it?

I'm thinking of taking the plunge to get some more performance out of my rig.

Windows is free

Holy h*ck this is epic!

>>714615265 (OP)
Yeah it's good. Shills will tell you to stick with 10 or to switch to Linux, don't fall for their bs.

>>714615265 (OP)
No it's shit. Shills will tell you to upgrade but you should just stick with 10 or switch to Linux.

>>714615507
Haha nice troll

>>714615405
lmao nice troll retard

>>714615405
thank you saar

Reminder that Linux is for pedos, people who want to hide what they're doing.

I wont update even if they'd pay me 15

>>714615406
$5 for some OEM windows key so you don't need to download some Russian crackware is nothing. The only sin is actually buying the $150 edition or whatever the fuck Best Buy charges boomers for.

What precisely do they mean by “for life”? Because they end support for operating systems after 10 or 15 years even if you have a license for life. Companies stop using that operating system like Steam meaning your license is useless. I remember Microsoft saying that Windows 10 was for life too lol.

So it's some OEM key and this entire thing a scam?

Dont care, still sticking with windows 7

>>714621159
Never understood the hate it gets over 10. Both requires you to spend like a week removing built in malware, de-bloating, configuring shit and adding back legacy features to be a usable system, but once you do it's the same exact system pretty much.

I don't get why everyone suddenly pretends Win 10 isn't just 90% cancer. If you can survive that tumour, you can survive Win 11.

>>714619904
that one still hurts. would have been pretty gnarly if they had legit just stuck with win10 forever..

>>714622176
Enjoy your subscription service once they flip the switch, anon. I work in tech, for 20 years now, and 11 is a fucking NIGHTMARE for the average user with how much they're trying to force linkage with MS/365 accounts. Give it 5 years, then come back and apologize for being a retard.

>>714615265 (OP)
i'd have switched to 11 if it said my hardware wasn't up to date or some stupid shit like that

>>714623182
It's pretty disingenuous to suggest that 10 has the same or even a comparable level of bullshit to slog through compared to 11, so I'm not really taking you seriously. Have a nice day, MS shill, kill yourself, etc.

Microsoft has been trying to push the subscription-model onto operating systems. They say “for life” to make what used to be the standard practice seem like a luxury.

OS are obsolete now that AI can code everything for you.

Windows 11 Pro is objectively the best desktop OS. It looks nice, performs well, and is full of actual power user features.
Desktop Linux is now 'good enough' for gaming that I've been using it for the past year. But it's undeniable that from a compatibility perspective, Windows dominates.

My racing wheel doesn't work on Linux
Several games are blocked / don't work on Linux
There are frequent bugs and workarounds you need to apply.
There's a time tax on brand new games working (don't expect the very latest to work day one)

>>714635012
>Trying
How, exactly? No retail customer will ever buy a subscription to a desktop OS. Non-gamers would just move to Apple faster than they already are. There's no market for an OS subscription outside of enterprise.

>>714636129
I have never had performance issues, but I also don't play AAA sloppa either. There was no observable performance increase moving to Linux.
I cannot imagine how shit your desktop PC must be, or how much you fail to administrate your machine if the OS affects it's gaming performance to be perceptibly worse.

>Perceptible
What exactly don't you understand about this? All the games I play run at my displays refresh, which I cap anyway to stay in the VRR window without buffering frames.
The 11 pro desktop experience is snappy, it looks nice, it doesn't crash, and compatibility is a non-contest.
Like I said, I moved to Linux because it's 'good enough', but for gaming and work, Windows 11 is king.

No way! Your old Windows 7 keys still work. Wait, not as of 2023. But you can find Windows 10 keys for $10 or less, or you can just never activate it. The only penalty is a watermark and not being able to 'customize your theme'. Microsoft makes enough from data collection to not care further.

Nothing beats Windows for gaems because it's got nearly everything native, and for what it doesn't, it's got the best emulators.
That being said, if emulation autists keep at it then I suppose in some far future Windows might have nothing going for it other than engineering software. But that is not now.

>>714641301
That's not gamer friendly thoughbeit.

>>714641176
Based. I'm still using my windows 7 as my main machine. Also could anyone else using windows 7 confirm if steam's downloads are being fucked with? It's working perfectly fine if I download or update a game that hasn't been updated within the past few months, but games that did are refusing to download and giving me a "content unavailable" bullshit error. I tried everything. Clear download cache, switch download regions, repair library, and even uninstalled steam and reinstalled steam. It's always the same games refusing to download/update. Works fine on my side windows 10 setup.

Go into your BIOS and turn on the TPM. Look for 'Intel PTT' if you have intel or 'AMD fTPM' if you have AMD. It may also be listed as 'TPM' or something similar to 'trusted platform module'. Both AMD and Intel cpus have TPM integrated within them but they default to 'off'. Worth a shot to check this out, anon.

its been spyware since 7, but the bloatware in 11 makes vista seem like an optimized masterpiece

>>714615265 (OP)
Real gamers still use Windows 3.1

>>714615265 (OP)
Windows 11 is genuinely the most retarded OS I've ever had the displeasure to use. Worse than Vista.

>>714649709
why

What's wrong with windows 11? I usually just wait for windows to force upgrade my system like its done a few times already.

>>714670952
Holy projection dude.

>>714671008
wrong. win8 gave you basic sanity features like futex and \Device\Afd. 7 was a shit os for retards.

>>714671632
Vista wasn't bad though, at least, it wasn't bad by windows standards. It was just windows 7 but with a slightly worse UI design.

>>714671772
other than the desktop taskbar being complete aids, not a lot honestly. It's still windows, it's still ad infested if you aren't using an enterprise(tm) flavor and has some QoL improvements if you use a KVM switch that doesn't do the liveness EDID crap to trick out your GPU into thinking it is still on.
also borderless window applications don't have wasted compositing done by dwm anymore.

>>714671853
7 has really great compabliity with games from all decades
>7 was a shit os for retards
But enough about 10/11

>>714671621
I fucking love 3.1

Win7 cucks are no coder retards who probably run literal malware.

Switching to Linux permanently in the Autumn when the weather cools.

Microsoft Windows 11 is Palantir Mossad spyware

Vista!

>Windows XP/2000/8/10 totally didn't spy on you!
95 was the last relatively safe version of windows

>>714672506
wincucks don't understand this simple fact.
I remember when 7 would send you ads to upgrade to 10. At any moment, M$ can push an update to do whatever malicious spyware, adware bullshit they want, even to "le heckin wholesome 7." That's why I still use Linux since 2013. No reason to play the game anymore. in 2025, Linux is about as good at executing video games as windows. Hell, on Linux, I can execute video games in isolated sandboxes too (flatpak, Steam Pressure Vessel).

There's no reason to buy OEM keys since it wouldn't be a license key in legal terms so at this point it's no different from massgravel except massgravel is free.

WTF are you talking about? How is it related to my post. Also, "borderless window" is fucking workaround to the retarded windows display server.

>>714673040
borderless window is for fucking faggots

in 10, you'd pay compositing costs to use it. FYI: GNOME's compositor hasn't had this problem in a whole fucking decade.

I am sure it works great for everything that ISN'T on Steam

>>714673557
You'd be right for the first time, Rajesh.

A good product doesn't go on sale like this. They are afraid of the writing on the wall.

>>714673450
It's disingenuous to claim SteamOS is better. It's a very complex problem on Linux still and while you can get higher frames, you may suffer other weird problems like shitty GPU scheduling starving tasks and nonfunctioning display tearing (forced vsync). HDR support basically requires you to nest multiple Wayland compositors and wine still has some indirection by depending on XWayland.

A new "completely fair scheduler" for GPUs is in the works, Wine for Wayland will become the norm soon, GNOME AND KDE Plasma now have HDR support, but we'll still have wait(tm) and see.

You think proton is some steam exclusive software that only works on steam games?

>>714673729
Don't have any problem on my Deck. If anything, I've had no problem running older games on SteamOS too that Windows causes me a ton of headaches over.

>>714674137
works and optimal aren't the same thing.

Seems shady as hell.

>>714674265
I'll take the optimal 10+fps boost while not experiencing any of the problems that anon was talking about

>>714673450
SteamOS doesn't belong to Microsoft you retard

>>714674395
higher fps doesn't mean better. did you measure 99-percentile lows and latency?

>>714617227
Go take a shit in the middle of the street for the whole world to see. Oh wait, you already do that, rajesh.

>>714673557
I mean it does though... I rarely use proton specifically since glorious eggroll is better.

>>714674505
>higher fps doesn't mean better

>>714674626
it doesn't retard. that's why DLSS is shit. higher FPS doesn't make up for the dogshit latency.

>>714674505
>did you measure 99-percentile lows and latency?
Yes, people have measured that and it's doing better than windows and the s2 is.

>>714674669
Whatever Microsoft told you to say, anon.

>>714674505
>99-percentile lows and latency?
That's one of the things W11 is awful about with all the garbage it's running in the background.

>>714615265 (OP)
Imagine paying for spyware. They're making enough money off you as-is.

>>714674505
Lmao seething

>>714674505
Benchmarked Unigine Valley, the lows were 50% better on linux

>>714675650
Seething how? I'm just challenging people to be realistic. I'm a Linux user as well but to claim it's all sunshine is also a bit disingenuous. I've had to do a lot of tweaks and patches and surgery to AMDGPU to get optimal performance and stability.

>>714675558
