• True story: I had been consistently telling my laptop not to upgrade to Windows 11 for literally months. I left it at home for like 3 days and when I came back it had upgraded itself anyway. That was the day I completely deleted Windows from my laptop. Formatted the entire hard drive and haven’t regretted it yet. Never even logged into Windows 11.

    11? Fuck that, I’m not sidegrading to 8.

    I ain’t even joking. My media PC is still on 7, everything else is on Linux now.

        Well, security doesn’t matter for a media device like that. The exposure is so minimal that it might as well not exist.

        Hell, considering I really only use it to pirate shit maybe once a month nowadays, my main desktop PC isn’t even on enough to matter; I could keep any old OS on it.

      I’ve been forced to install Windows 10 on my brand new build because it doesn’t support W7.

      But Steam is also dropping W7 support by the end of this year anyway. Yes, there are native Linux games on Steam and there’s also Proton and WINE, but it’s not a 100% solution.

        Well, I was hyped for Baldur’s gate 3, and I may still end up getting it, but I’d have to upgrade too much hardware to play it, and there’s really no other games that I’m interested in.

        Musicbee is the main reason I’m still running 7 on that pc rather than some flavor of linux. If it ever gets a port, or actually starts working right via wine, bye bye windows for me.
