Remember the ol days when you had to nuke windows every year to keep them running smooth? Man gone are those days. A 7 year old installation, with a million installs and uninstalls, no antivirus ever, been to every filthy corner of the internet. Changed multiple graphics cards. No windows updates enabled for years. Still no issues. It took microshit their whole existence to make a no frills OS.
I'm kind of sorry to see my 7yo win 7 installation go. But i got a new MBO + CPU + RAM, and its time to enter the "current year" with win10. For free of course. Yarrrrrr.
Wish me luck.

Compatibility issues. One day i may. Some say x86 is going byebye. This will be the moment for linux to strike.
[–] Computergeek01 ago
x86 the instruction set? Or do you mean 32-bit apps? Because the later are all but done and gone.

Ugh, 'use Linux derp derp'. Linux is just as much of a virus as Windows nowadays.

how? I check open connections once in a while, also I check the query log on my router that is running dnscrypt. There is nothing suspicious in the dns lookups unless firefox is open.

ok, should I jump on this bandwagon?, I am still running W7, but am very much learning Penguin and hope to make the full fledged jump, the more I read the more reasons I should change, I refuse WX, and, well it seems that Linux is a different flavour, and gives me more control over my comp. And Winblows has been my lazy option for decades.

Really depends on what programs you plan to use. For general purpose use, there is no reason not to use linux. But for compatibility with some professional software, and games, its a bit of a pain.
[–] katabatic 0 points 1 point 1 point (+1|-0) ago
I know, but like some suggest, I can run VB and instal W7 in that. Have a good evening. bye now

Windows 10 LTSC if you're going to have to use W10. Otherwise it's absolute canceraids
[–] ExpertShitposter [S] ago
Not sure where to get that, but my plan is to disable updates, and fuckover all the telemetry i can.

Besides, if you’re connected to any bid programs, they will eventually drop support for older OS, forcing an upgrade.
