How can PC gamers defend this garbage

Nobody is defending Windows 11, why can't zoomers communicate without layers of disingenuous memes and irony?

im currently dual booting Fedora+Kde plasma and windows 10. Im slowly getting used to the linux environment and hopefully going to be able to fully migrate before the end of windows 10 support but jesus christ theres a lot of stuff that just doesnt work properly. i shouldnt have to spend an entire day troubleshooting just to get games working and discord needs to get its act together to actually fucking worn on linux. other than that, its 100x better than windows.

>>715411231 (OP)
i don't, i've been on linux exclusively for nearly 3 years on my gaming computer and i will never go back.

It is so incredibly bad. The mobile phone user interface alone is horrible and such a massive eyesore that it triggers me immensly. I unironically might just stay on Windows 10 and wait until Windows 12 or something. It is THAT garbage. But who am I kidding? Windows 12 will probably be even worse somehow.

I "upgraded" to w10 from w7 like a year ago, it will be like 5 years until I "upgrade" from w10 now.

Fuck I liked w7 so much

>>715411231 (OP)
i dont lol, i use linux

>>715417805
So what you're saying is windows 12 is going to be even worse? Damn, imagine if they spent even 1/10th as much effort trying to make it good as they are intentionally making it it shit.

Windows 10 vs Windows (10) plus UI updates.
It's surprising how tech illiterate people are.

I haven't had a single issue with W11, I installed it correctly with a local account, disabled all the bloat, telemetry and AIslop.

For gaming Windows 10 Enterprise IoT LTSC is the way to go and than in the early 2030s switching to Linux.

>>715411231 (OP)

Other then that, its an OS. I dont see any real issues with it for normal use.
My experience has been pretty much the same from 8.1 and up.

Alright, I'll bite. Since my computer turned into a jet engine with windows 11 installed even when idle.
What's a good Linux to use if you want to game? I still play wow classic with my guildies and old rpgs. No new shit.

>>715421801
What I find funny is when people pull out percentages.
It's hilariously skewed when you remember just how anyone who doesn't fall for "muh latest OS" fad usually don't like sharing informations.
I don't think I've filled a Steam survey in like a decade by now, and I removed the telemetry update from W7.

Man I WANT to swap to linux but I have over a decade of shit in my win10 installation, react images, personal photos and videos, game saves and side projects. Literally like 15 years of my life across the drives and if I knew how to transfer that shit without spending hours loading it onto an external drive, I would swap right now

>>715422068
It's just very weird on what works and what doesn't since the new compression.
Seems installing is fine and older updates are fine too, but newer updates is 50/50 on whether or not they work.
I just updated Streets of Rogue today just fine for instance but in the same day Project Zomboid just failed, so maybe it's tied to the dev whim or how old the game is? Not sure.
Honestly I'm more annoyed by how half-assed the whole thing is, they could have easily set up backward compatibility, but they just didn't, and worst, they didn't even care about what Steam would do if it doesn't work, since on older OS it just get stuck in an extremely bandwidth wasting loop if you don't stop it manually.
It reeks of Valve getting more and more lazy.

>>715422525
of course you can.
i don't recommend playing games from linux on your ntfs drive but it works.

>>715422604
Thanks Anon. Its still a monumental task, but a little more approachable now than it was yesterday. Perhaps I should set up that dualboot

>>715422715

it's really not, it takes like 1 hour tops.
i get that it's scary doing stuff you've never done before, but these days linux "just works".
grab yourself something like fedora, mint or ubuntu and you won't even have to turn off safe boot.

Steam hardware survey alone for Linux is 2.75%.
Linux users tend to be more privacy oriented so they don't do surveys like that as it basically scans your pc.

Same goes for people still on W7, lots of users don't do survey.

Indian OS statistics are worthless, because they're based on hits to websites running statcounter and get their information from the user agent.
Almost all of that traffic is misreported due to user agent spoofing being used by poorly coded phone apps and review farms and the traffic will be disproportionately represented by review farms and unintentionally DDOSing phoneslop, because it is tracking hits and not unique users.

your best bet is that nobody uses windows 7 anymore so there won't be as much malware made for it. security through ... scarcity ?
but yeah, the problem about vulnerabilities is that they can bypass system defenses, so no matter what you do you will get hit unless they get patched, and good luck getting anyone to patch windows 7 or porting modern browsers to it.

You can hire a homeless guy, give him 20 minutes with google and he'll figure out how to change the look of your OS for you. He might be drugged out of his mind, but he's not a incompetent as you are.

>>715431671
>these days there's more gamers on linux than mac.
That's because Apple moved to ARM and also killed 32 bit support, so game compatibility went down the toilet.

Do I need to worry about viruses in linux?

>>715431970
Nobody bothers writing viruses for an OS with such a small userbase.

>>715431873
sure that probably didn't help
but the real reason is proton has made gaming far more accessible to the normie on linux. games for a long time were hard to run and ran like shit on linux. dxvk happening and wine slowly fixing every bug has made the compatibility layer so good it actually runs a lot of games better than windows.

>>715430758

because the linux userbase is so fragmented across different distributions and software versions it's much harder to create malware for it.

Cope. I remember many years ago Linuxfags loved to brag about this total lie, but hackers targetted them many times and even did it more as a response. Things like Slapper (2002),BadBunny (2007), Snakso (2012), Hand of Thief (2013), Windigo (2014) and plenty of others I didn't even list.

I work on Linux on my other PCs. Man where do I begin

>Mouse lags for no reason
It has acceleration on by default, disable it it's not that, okay maybe it's something else.
Users suggest it's the pooling rate okay

sudo su -
modprobe drm_kms_helper
echo N> /sys/module/drm_kms_helper/parameters/poll
echo 'drm_kms_helper' >> /etc/modules-load.d/local.conf
echo "options drm_kms_helper poll=N" >> /etc/modprobe.d/local.conf

Pooling rate increased mouse does feel better something still feels off.

Maybe it's the drivers try Logitech mouse software for linux

It doesn't exist okay time to try a 3rd part one called solaar

At last I can set my DPI now. Still feel laggy.

At that point I have up I'm not really gaming on that system just playing light games like older RTS games and such it only has a i7-6700k+1070 GTX so not that I can play anything.

And this "little" story that took I don't know 2 hours or so of me searching fixing, testing keeps happening.

I had some weird issue where the CPU usage would spike when the mouse cursor went from Left to Right monitor.
I had some weird issues where programs didn't see the dual monitors as 2 screens but as one big one.
I had issues countless issues with snap programs that are supposed to as easy to install as windows programs. VLC didn't work as a SNAP, Discord had issues as a SNAP. And so on and on...

Linux was such a long way to go it's ridicilous. I do understand why programers go for MacOS to skip all of this BASIC shit if they don't feel like tinkering.

>>715433534
I wrote like this since 2006 and I'm not going to stop now just because you zoomer think this is reddit.

Why does mouse acceleration even exist and why does some games have it on by default (like Bully, which you can't change)?

>>715434489
mouse acceleration is better for basically everything that isn't a competitive fps.
there's a reason why it's enabled by default in windows and in every linux distribution. people like it.

>>715434872
with mouse acceleration you can reach the edge of the screen with one swift motion, something you can't do without it. it feels good.
the only real use case for not running mouse acceleration is stuff that requires precise movement.

>>715435507
>with mouse acceleration you can reach the edge of the screen with one swift motion, something you can't do without it.
That's a fucking lie, it's absolutely doable without mouse acceleration, you just need to dial up the sensitivity.

>>715435610
>use high dpi
do not do that, it fucks your wrist.

>>715435507
>with mouse acceleration you can reach the edge of the screen with one swift motion, something you can't do without it.
What the fuck are you talking about, you can literally do it without mouse acceleration.

>>715435709
In what way, exactly?

>>715435769
because you want to move the mouse with your hand not your wrist, if you have high dpi you're going to be using your wrist to move the mouse.

>>715435838
This is the most retarded thing I've ever read in my life you might as well be buying crystals you fucking faggot homo.

>>715435838
Mine's high enough that I can move it with my fingers and minimal wrist movement.

Imagine caring about mouse accel when most keyboards, mousepads, videogame gameplay and mice are designed in the worst posibble way but "marketable".

>You will never know the joy of using apple computers and everything tech post year 2013
Yep, I cant

>>715435889
>more dpi = less hand movement = less fatigue ?
i'm speaking from experience, i had huge hand pains until i figured out that the high dpi was fucking my wrist

>>715436087
For high DPI, hold the mouse between your thumb and your ring finger and move with predominantly with your fingers. It enables quick/precise movements without having to flair your arm around your desk like an invalid.

>>715436176
I do this and use barely an inch of space on the mousepad to access the entire desktop, but I guess you would need high coordination or lots of practice to manage using a mouse accurately to that degree.

>>715411231 (OP)
Theoretically speaking, if Stop Killing Games passes, how will it affect Microsoft Windows? If video game companies will be prohibited from the wholesale discontinuation of the products they sold to customers, why should Microsoft get to keep doing this?

>>715436426
Windows still works after service has been discontinued. There's nothing stopping you from installing any prior version of Windows today.

>>715436426
Different ballpark, the software is still usable after EoL, just at your own risk. SKG is about software ceasing to work entirely after EoL because all the moving parts are serverside and you're just buying a client to access it.

>>715436560
>There's nothing stopping you from installing any prior version of Windows
Primarily hardware it was designed for. Good fucking luck finding 90s components on the open market in a usable state.

>>715436560
>>715436570
Well, not really, since eventually third-party software developers, be it video games or not, will stop support for it due to it becoming obsolete from Microsoft's lack of support like they did with Windows 7. So, it's hardly different in the grand scheme of things.

>>715436686
The software still functions for the intended hardware, though. I have a PCem setup with a 98 machine I use for the odd thing that won't run on 11 (mainly 16-bit stuff).

>mogs windows in your path
only people seething about it are autistic /g/ neets because the devs aren't chuddies and it's not a overcomplicated tinkertranny distro like gentoo or arch

>>715436426
I'm pretty sure Microsoft doesn't stop you from using their older OSes. If you want to stick with lack of support and security updates, that's on you. SKG doesn't say that companies will support their products forever. Just leave them in a playable enough state and in the case of online games, allow people to set up their own servers.

>>715436753
>So, it's hardly different in the grand scheme of things.
It's completely different, retard. Stop trying to muddy the waters.

>>715436753
It's not even close to the same, and I think SKG is for faggots.

Woah, hey, I'm not saying it should be supported no matter the hardware, I'm just remarking that there is a difficulty in getting older versions working

I've been using it for a couple of months now, and after running the debloater and deactivating all the normieproofing in the settings it seems fine. Then again i've never been that discerning when it comes to this sort of thing.

Some of us steal Photoshop, sir. I figured a linux user who steals CPU cycles that Windows has ownership of would understand.

I'm pretty sure Photoshop is a web app now. The client based Photoshop is dead unless you are running some ancient pirated version.

>>715437046
The OS itself has bad performance optimisation at this point, which is a catastrophically bad sign, and there are several GUI issues that are minor annoyances, like forcing you to go into a sub menu for functions that should be available in the main context menu. Most of the problems can be dealt with using the debloater, but the deeper design issues can't, and it doesn't bode well for future versions.

Planned obsolescence is such a pain in the ass. All you need from an operating system is to be able to run your software on it yet updates always have a chance of affecting compatibility with both soft and hard rendering something that was functional into an issue you´d have to spend time resolving.

Some times softwares patch things up but what about companies that no longer exist and can´t do that? You had a piece of software that worked and now it doesn´t anymore. It´s a lot of extra work, the disadvantages are plain to see and will affect you immediately but the advantages are not nearly as evident (if there are even advantages to begin with, Microsoft photographing your desktop and having data of everything you wank to is not an advantage)

Gamers can defend Windows 11 by taking proactive steps to enhance security and optimize performance. This includes utilizing built-in security features like Microsoft Defender Antivirus and SmartScreen, while also being mindful of online safety practices like avoiding suspicious links and attachments. Additionally, gamers can optimize their system for gaming by adjusting power settings, disabling unnecessary background processes, and keeping their software and drivers updated.

Windows is trash.
I'm using Arch for my gaming desktop and notebook I use for work but I might switch to an M4 Pro Macbook Pro because the battery life is insane on these things. Linux and macOS are almost the same thing the main difference is that you can game on Linux because it's x86 and supports discrete graphics while macOS supports more software for content creation. I don't see what usecase Windows has outside of CAD maybe. The only reason it's popular is because it comes preinstalled on most PCs and Macs are too expensive (and overpriced) for an average person because Apple is a greedy fuck.

Because it works. Just works. Plug and play, only games that require extra solutions are the ones requiring DirectX 9 or older usually need only additional libraries) or ones with faulty programming to begin with (like Sunset Overdrive requiring disabling AV software because of some retarded calls game is trying to make, or Saints Row 2 or World in Conflict that are tied to CPU speed for whatever fucking reason). System itself is virtual "bubble-stand-up" toy, unless you deliberately fuck it up it will get up on its own whenever something goes wrong. People complaining about hidden settings, telemetry, updates, etc are usually the ones that should NOT temper with those setting as, for example, they lack intelligence required to read the fucking MS manual (it used to be called MS Technet, no fucking idea how it's called now - but content remains the same) and would do more harm.

PC gaming has only very recently become a non-grognard activity. Dicking around with anything other than steam and going into appdata, using dgvoodoo, or some other shit is just beyond 95% of a user's comprehension. I got sacred 2, a horribly optimized vista game, running on w11 2h24 even with my dual monitor setup. It took me about 30 minutes of tinkering to get everything right. That's too long for virtually any user and they don't have the experience/know the about the resources that I do, so it would likely take longer and be even more frustrating.

I'm not saying that it's a bad thing that some tinkering is required, I've been doing it since the 90's, it's just that you absolutely cannot expect that to be the norm anymore.

I'm not the guy you replied to but as annoying as that shit is, windows update is just so consistently garbage that they basically clean out your settings and preferences.

They have no clue how to into LTS channels at this point and it's another reason to move away from Microsoft. I hate it but don't think it's a conspiracy so much as covering their own ass.

Yeah, I remember when that level of tinkering was normal for new games. Compatibility back in the day was horrible, weird directX versions where you had to install 8.6c first and than 8.6d because d was missing some shit for whatever reason and it wouldn't allow you to install the older version.

This has never happened, and I use Windows 11. Why do Linux fags lie and believe clickbait news so much?

>>715452158
Because when some random dude on internet says something, especially if it shits on MS or other big company, it MUST be true but if said company says otherwise, it MUST be lie because why would they say "the truth"? Standard conspiracy theory mindset.

Hot take: Windows and all other MS products are going to be worse as long as the Pajeet CEO is at the helm. I am starting to miss Ballmer Era already.

soundcards are basically lostec. There's no reliable way to emulate most of them either. That whole era of hardware moved so quickly and had so many competing standards that there's no real way to preserve most of it.

You'll need to worry about typing strange shit into the terminal in order to fix random shit breaking. You'll be typing a lot of random stuff into the terminal that you won't understand.

>moved over to linux last year because its now 'good enough'
>still believe Windows 11 Pro is better
I can't imagine how retarded or destitute you must be to be still using 10. 10 is ugly as fuck, its task manager is trash, Windows 11 has actual useful poweruser features added to it.
I have never ever heard a meaningful reason to not use 11 pro that cannot be summarised as being a skill issue or something completely benign.

Unlike you, I'm not a faggot redditor drone echoing seniments from other people without being able to back up what I'm saying.

Yes but in this particular case it is true
Show apps menu is superior and it allows for quick search and easy navigation as well

10 is shit but it is WAY LESS SHIT right now than it was when it came out, disingenuous windows street shitter.

Windows 10 on launch had the original spying AI known as Cortana and had ads in the start menu you couldn't remove even on Pro, but you didn't have internet, computers, or functioning toilets back then so I get if you've never heard of it.

I tried Linux Mint last year for some time but ultimately there was nothing it did that Windows didn't do better. I'm pretty much a normie when it comes to using computers, I just want to turn it on, browse the internet, play vidya and that's it. I will say Linux blows current Windows out the water when it comes to visual customization, I wish I could make W10 look like 98 again.

>>715462069
>THEREFORE IT'S BAD

10 has a few features I like and I prefer its aesthetic over 7.
11 is literally just 10 but worse. It has fewer features, runs worse and spies on you way harder than 10 does. It has precisely nothing to offer over 10. It's barely even different in the first place, 99% of the time it'll just feel like you're on 10 but have less processing power and CAN'T MOVE THE FUCKING TASKBAR.

wrong, the only people who had any right hating vista was people working in enterprise and that's purely because the driver stack had changed causing compatability issues. for most users, the experience was fine and it only got better with each service pack. people who say vista sucked are fucking drones.
>uac was intrusive and most people disabled it
only fucking retards like yourself disable UAC. not knowing if a process wants elevated permissions, and granting them that by default is fucking brain damaged and is why people had to reformat xp every 3-6 months
>8 was widely panned and the start menu was the biggest reason why.
again, by drone retards who are completely incapable of explaining why something is bad. removing the start button was bold, but it was objectively an improvement over wasting space having a start button on your taskbar. windows 8's tile start menu with all the dynamic content was great, and from a user perspective it didn't even matter. 99% of users push their windows key, type their shit, then hit enter. if anything, they didn't go far enough. the start menu should have been your desktop wallpaper
>people only like windows 10 now because you can debloat it and 11 is worse.
11 is objectively better looking, with an objectively better task manager and it's faster than 10 thanks to background task sleeping, and its full of power user developer tools

Windows sucks but it's the platform the games were designed for.

Regardless of which one you choose, there will always be problems with them that you can't fix.
You can make both of them suck substantially less but it depends how much time you're willing to dedicate to it, which is also the metric you should use for picking what you want to use.

once you go black (linux) you can never go back

I don't know about 2000 but XP was considered a classic because it lasted a long time and it was probably the first OS for the majority of both gen x and gen y as it was the OS when the majority of normies and kiddies (including myself with these) discovered PC gaming, MMOs (Runescape and/or WoW), and the general Internet for the first time ever.

Windows Vista was considered wasted potential. It was rushed and the way it was rushed made it perma fucked. To the point where Windows 7 had to built up from Windows XP again and just take Vista code that wasn't shit. And then Windows 8 was the post Xbox 360 era. Something happened at this time where Microsoft become truly shit competency wise (they were always shitty business wise). The desktop market peaked so MS was really pushing their Windows phone and Windows 8 was awful because it was actually built for tablets and phones in mind. Windows 8.1 fixed a lot of it but Win7 is still considered the best of classic pre-IoT Windows.

Windows 10 was super shit when it came out but it's considered decent now. Win10 will probably be the last good Windows OS because now MS is taken over by pajeets and DEI girlbosses. Who are now enforcing 'vibe coding' onto their or development team (seriously).

The best Windows OSes overall are Windows 98, XP, 7, and 10 to a lesser extent. I personally don't care about ethics or privacy I just want my shit to work. Windows 7 was my favorite and I am holding onto 10 as long as I can. I just want Windows to be good again even if it meant no privacy and paying a sub. I fucking hate modern computers.
Please save us, Billy...

my laptop's ram is capped at 16 you retarded poojeets

I don't, but you need it for certain hardware now and games will be demanding it too.

>>715481439
using linux certainly does feel like you've been infected with aids

>>715474157
Vista was hated by poorfags with a shit pc, but I had zero issues with it. Winbows was acceptable right up until 10 with its spyware bloat, that made me jump ship.

>>715411231 (OP)
Are the Windows 11 defenders in the room with us right now?

>>715411231 (OP)
I unironically switched to Arch because of this shit

>>715427491
>FAKE NEWS SAAR
we're not falling for it

I have no problems with it. It doesn’t get in the way of what I want to do. It’s that simple.

>>715463485
you and your eceleb should be banned from the internet.

>>715484876
This, I still have to encounter a problem with it. Hell, W10 was constantly giving me blue screens with every update.

>>715411231 (OP)
>How can PC gamers defend this garbage
I dont. I wish there was a good alternative that allowed me to smoothly do everything I do on Windows, but there isn't. Linux is a fucking headache, it's like one big hazing ritual where you have to prove you're a 'real' PC user by suffering through the dumbest contrivances and workarounds just to achieve what Windows 7 achieved in a click.

I don't defend Windows 11, I just use it, customized to my liking with all the group policy settings to make it secure and fast.
Linux users love to compare their fully tweaked out kernel and desktop environment to stock Windows, completely ignorant of the fact that you can customize the fuck out of Windows with a simple GUI that explains everything you are doing.

>>715457856
>It's the same shit with a different coat of paint. A coat of paint you can customize if you don't like the look of it
They broke the taskbar and the only way to "customize" is to run ExplorerPatcher so you can bring back the Win 10 taskbar

>>715481618
>he bought shit hardware and now that's everyone elses problem but his
you really are a destitute retard

I had to use windows 11 because the laptop I wanted was so good (a snapdragon yoga with OLED). After massive debloating, installing classic shell, enabling linux wsl, spy beacon. Its actually pretty good. You can nuke all the AI shit with group policy and powershell. Once you have a perfect debloated and optimized install back it up with macrium reflect. Its faster than W10

You guys whine too much. I don't think you faggots even play games. It works on my machine and I probably play more games than any of you.

>>715488198
how about you make an OS that doesn't rape people's ram, trashes your battery, uses up your data cap, and doesn't restart itself when it fells like it sanjay?

>>715411231 (OP)
Windows is the poor fag option

>>715417805
>You'll be defending it in 5 years
Windows 11 has already been out for 5 years and it's still trash 5 years in. Windows 10 was released in summer of 2015 and was fixed and usable by November 2015

>>715491220
>that doesn't rape people's ram
if you don't have 64GB of RAM by now you have other areas of your life you need to sort out you poor paki
also, windows creates a cache to speed shit up you tech illiterate retard
>trashes your battery
i get better battery life when running windows than linux thanks to background task sleeping
>uses up your data cap
i don't have a data cap because i'm not a destitute paki like you
>and doesn't restart itself when it fells like it sanjay?
if you're so tech illiterate you can't administrate you machine / network to not do what you want, you're simply admitting to everyone you're a retard

all you're doing is admitting you're poor, retarded and a paki

Well, anon, if you are interested in obscure programs or in old games or in visual novels or need to use CAD programs for your job or whatever other obscure thing, then Windows is the only reasonable option if you don't want be tinkering with emulation every week for the rest of your life.

You do if those programs are 16-bit or even 32bit now.

>>715493042
The CAD programs at least have been updated to 64bit, but I suppose boomergaming and boomer VNs will always require emulation now. Tough.

>>715458563
>removing the start button was a GOOD thing
Garbage opinion

>>715411231 (OP)

I'm sure as fuck not defending it. We just recently had to upgrade to 11 on our computers where I work and it's been pissing me off left and right.

>>715411231 (OP)
I really have no idea why its so popular when Mint is literally easier in every way

>buy new cheap laptop (4 core N97 processor, 16gb DDR4 ram, SSD)
>put windows 11 on it for a laugh to see how bad it is
>updates take literal HOURS to install in the background
>it doesn't even update the progress bar more than once every like 5-10 minutes
>constant HUGE resource usage spikes for seemingly no reason
>it finally installs all of its updates, 24H2
>Install winaerotweaks and disable all of the retarded gayshit (defender, updates, edge, MS store app updates, telemetry, start menu lag)
>idle ram usage drops from 6gb to 3gb(!!!), CPU and disk usage stop randomly spiking

I installed Linux Mint on it afterwards in a faction of the time from a USB, it updated in literal minutes with no issues whatsoever. Runs vidya on steam and whatever else I want to install too without needing a program to lobotomize it from microsoft.

W11 is a literal joke OS, I was sitting there honestly stunned at how slow and unperformant it was, I'll at LEAST say that 24H2 felt more responsive than 23H2 even before I used the tweak program but still pathetic.

>>715497780
>another poor pakistani third worlder enters the thread
Why can't you poors just switch to trannux or something? You're giving us Windows lovers a bad name.

>>715498191
I said I use Linux Mint and installed your joke OS to laugh at it

>>715468956
>boo hoo this is too hard
I don't give a shit if your specific issue is hard to fix
On Linux you waste your time to make your experience better
On Windows you waste your time to not keep it bad, and it reverts itself if you let it, and that will be the case for every single user

>>715493042
>You do if those programs are 16-bit or even 32bit now
I still use plenty of XP-era programs that work just fine

So just how bad are the privacy issues on W11? How much of it is hearsay and how much has actually been confirmed?

>>715431665
rude ggit

>>715431680
You expect /v/ermin to know what Open Shell is?

>>715499978
>How much of it is hearsay
Virtually all of it
>how much has actually been confirmed
Virtually none of it
There's definitely telemetry involved, but if you disable everything during the installer and either disable cortana/copilot or use LTSC which has those features ripped out then the only thing that gets sent is basic diagnostic shit for windows update (can be disabled), network connectivity (can be disabled) and defender (can be disabled)

>>715417805
I've never defended any version of windows.
I use windows for the same reason I use firefox. It's the worst option available except for literally every other fucking option out there.

Pajeet gayming thread. Tranny gayming thread. Troonix gayming thread.

>>715411231 (OP)
>>715411362
I just kill the telemetry and bloat and run it like usual

>>715411231 (OP)
I don't
I moved to Linux when they announced EOL for Win10

So, what happens if I don't upgrade? What happens if I don't even get the LTSC? What happens if I just stay where I'm at and just let my antivirus handle everything? Will nothing happen?

Like Denuvo rapes games of frames per second, so does the Windows-11-required TPM chip.

Free open-source software points the direction. Linux is the way.

>>715411231 (OP)
Not my problem. All my 500+ games work perfect. All my 5000+ emus/roms work perfect too.

>>715505549
You're not going to get raped by chinese malware on day 0 of W10 going EOL
You can stay on it as long as you wish, eventually software will stop supporting it, same with newer hardware, etc. But 10 and 11 are very similar so that won't happen anytime soon. 7 was fine for a few years even after 10 launched.

>>715505559
Can tuxtards go a minute without spreading schizophrenia-fueled lies?

>>715507806
>You're not going to get raped by chinese malware on day 0 of W10 going EOL
the thing about malware is that it can be very hard to tell you've been pwned, for all your know you're already part of some russian botnet.
but yes staying on an unsupported OS increases the risks every day

>>715422715
Just in case, buy two drives (ideally visually different from each other) and back up all of your important files to one of them. Put it in a drawer in another room so you never accidentally overwrite it. THEN install linux on the other new drive.

>>715411231 (OP)
its totally fine

imagine being so retarded that you think you can migrate to linux when you can't even use windows properly. you're fucking toast buddy.
