Bill said Windows 10 was the last one, so…
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.
Isn’t it insecure to run such an old version tho? (Since it stopped recieving updates years ago)
Stockholm syndrome windows users trying to justify their toxic relationship to microsoft (colorized circa 2020).
It’s insecure (in more ways than one) to be running Windows in general. If you value security to a high degree you probably shouldn’t be using Windows.
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.
If it is connected to your router it’s a point of ingress.
The risk of getting a attack via the router is very low these days
Lol! You’re an idiot
Why not run a minimal distribution like Alpine if you’re just torrenting?
windows 8 made me switch to linux
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.
Why would it support a 14 year old OS whose final release was 12 years ago and mainstream support ended 8 years ago?
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.
Where Linux
all Linux memes communities have been like this
Linuxmemes: the ultimate hub for Windows memes.
Windows 11 sucks
I moved to Linux (Arch btw) and I haven’t looked back.
The lack of bloatware and the snappiness of Linux just beats any other OS.
TIL that you can be coerced into win 11 upgrade. I have immunity, tho! My PC is too shitware ;-;
Stay on 10 for as long as possible if you have to use windows. Ideally go for LTSC and even more ideally, switch to sth else
LTSC is good for a machine with a dedicated purpose. My DJ laptop runs LTSC, for example. But I wouldn’t suggest using it as your main OS unless you don’t mind reinstalling Windows every year (I don’t, but some people do).
11 really isn’t that bad once you work around the bullshit. Use StartAllBack to restore the old Start Menu and position the taskbar vertically, and SoundSwitch to keep it from changing your default audio device every time you plug something in. Once you install those two apps, dare I say that 11 is better than 10.
Hell, it’s worth it alone for its considerably better HDR experience. In 10 you had to constantly fiddle with it, or even turn it off altogether when viewing non-HDR content, if you didn’t want a washed-out image. In 11, just enable AutoHDR, change your monitor settings to automatically tone map (instead of using HGiG), and forget about it. You’ll never have to mess with settings, toggling things, or calibrations ever again to get a good HDR and SDR image, even in games. It just works.

Man, I miss Dan Vs.
Can you tell me what your remember about it? I remember watching an episode or two and not liking it, but I’m curious about your opinion.
Does win 11 still require physical hardware to run? Why I have to sacrifice one of my motherboard slots for a worthless authentication chip that might stop working and brick my computer - ya I’ll stay with 10.
Technically it’s an artificial requirement, it’ll run just fine without secure boot and TPM, you’ll just need to do some work around to install it that way.
It’s unfortunate for you guys who choose not to because eventually you will have to.
The even more unfortunate part will be the security risk you pose for yourself when support ends.
May I introduce you to Linux?
No.
Simply because I don’t want to be one of those people who feel they have to tell everyone they’re a vegan, I mean a Linux user
Yeah imagine talking about Linux in a Linux forum. The horror!
I have to say I really like windows 11. It’s more secure and it runs well for me. It’s very similar to 10 still with some more refined existing features, and even some cool new ones like live captioning and OCR snipping
Yeah people are just circlejerking. It’s not that different than 10.

Yep, that sounds exactly like every other windows version. It’s the same thing
So why are people so hellbent to not upgrade? I’m not a Windows thumper. But I use it every day and it’s not a horrible experience for me at least.
What is this meme from? A show I assume?
some of us have still PTSD from moving from XP to vista, or even worse, from win 7 to 8.0
