Steam dropping Windows 7 and Windows 8 Support in 2024 - because of course a game platform is locked to one shitty web browser

Windows 10 is fucking trash. Suck its dick all you want, enjoy your yahoo news.
I have no Yahoo News, I have no Microsoft Edge, I have absolutely nothing of what your delusions say Windows 10 is because you've clearly haven't even installed it in a VM. The only time Win10 BSoD'd on me was because of Nvidia and not Microsoft.
The lack of an actual answer given to your questions reminded me of when I asked that same user why they're still trying to keep Win7 going when they needed help getting a dll for something. So far we've got "I hate Windows 10" and "Windows 10 is fucking trash", very constructive responses.

Yeah, let him keep patching in random .dll's into his Win7 install. Maybe someone will one day pass him a .dll with malicious code. It's also funny that he believes Win10 is spyware yet he's backporting Win10 .dll's that might as well have spyware in them anyway. Clearly he's retarded enough to not know what a .dll file actually is and instead believes some voodoo bullshit.

Again, it will take you LESS effort to debloat Win10 and have it as clean as Win7 is than it will take you to keep Win7 alive with some Frankenstein .dll swaps. But a raging lunatic who believes Win10 is pure evil and Win7 has absolutely zero spyware won't understand that, especially if he has never touched Win10. This is Cult of WinXP all over again, history makes another circle.
 
Windows 10 was so fucking awful I chose 11 and am waiting for the day to beta test 12. If you took 7 and updated it adding powershell what more would you want from an OS.

Windows 10 was so bad I was looking for a workaround to use windows 7 as a dual boot that's how trash it is.

My nigga... the workaround is Windows 10 LTSC 2019 along with O&O ShutUp10. If that's still not good enough, try Sycnex's Windows10Debloater script. That should see you out until the end of this decade, or at least until you upgrade a major piece of hardware that doesn't have Windows 10 support, such as a GPU or CPU.

Believe me, it took a lot to extract Windows 7 from my cold dead hands. Mainstream versions of Windows 10 suck ass, and Windows 11 sucks more ass.

You faggots are accepting the fact and championing the concept of bloatware in OS. This never happened with fresh installs of any OS until post windows 7. As a consumer instead of saying its fine if you just install this script (which most users wont know about) will fix which should never needed to be fixed is retarded. We hate bill gates microchip vax shots but love his new ad filled OS's. Give your fucking head a shake.

I never said I liked it. I just said it's the workaround.

TBH choosing 11 over 10, and expressing interest in beta testing 12, sounds way more like the actions of someone who loves Gates' new ad filled OSs than someone who goes out of their way to find the leanest, least pozzed version of Windows that still has support and then locks it down some more.

Now who's shaking their head?

Windows 10 is Trash. I fucking despise it.
 
Explain how Windows 11 is less trash than Windows 10. Go on. I'll wait.
Because when I ran Windows 10 I would get critical errors that would shut my display down as if it were powered off then reboot it, Check the event viewer and there was no errors recorded. This happened many times, I then reverted back to my dual boot windows 7 and the errors stopped, I replaced windows 10 with linux and the error stopped. Who knows what caused it because there is no error report for it. Never experienced an issue like that in the 30 years of computing. Even the admin of this website had this issue. Windows 10 is fucking dogshit.
 
@Slav Power I use my computer to play games, browse the web, and watch youtube. Explain how any updated version of Windows helps me. Removed the start menu so I have to browse through big ass icons instead of a list? I'm not using a tablet, I'm using a desktop.

My mother's desktop was so slow and shitty after the forced update to Windows 10 (?) I had to buy a new computer for her because the hardware couldn't keep up.

So now games I've bought and paid for are unplayable on my PC that works just fine, because I haven't forked over cash for an OS I don't need. Never mind that it spies on me. But people getting mad that you need "current thing" makes them the idiots?

I bought a new laptop that runs Window 11, and unfucking it from the bloat and presets was a pain in the ass, all so I could achieve a fraction of the useability from a 10 year old OS.

Imagine sucking Microsoft's dick. Do you own stock in them or something?
 
Stock image of windows 7 vs 10 start button. Look at the difference of options...

Where is My Computer, Control panel, my documents and a list of most used applications??? On Windows 7 I can go to every corner of the PC and on Windows 10 I can see the weather and ask cortana while I visit the store using microsoft edge... I like how the photo's panel on windows 10 shows a display picture of your personal shit because fuck privacy.

I honestly don't care what other people use for their computers and OS, I just wish that they knew what they were in for when "upgrading" to the latest and greatest thing. I've said on other threads about it that I've had to manually un-fuck more than a few computers thanks to the generosity of Microsoft's forced "upgrade" on low-end machines that couldn't handle Win8, let alone Win10. The whole Steam games debacle has no effect on me either, since I don't do much in the way of online/DRM infused gaming. My issue is with the core "you will own nothing" mantra that everyone seems to be gravitating towards, and most people are just bending over and accepting it.


And there hasn't been a single car from 2009 that didn't have some sort of planned obsolescence built in. There was also no car from 2009 that had support for Android Auto added in without some Bubba-tier hacks.

Basically your car allegory is shit because it's as "artificially fucked" as Windows is. This kind of whining happened back in 2014 when people were bitching about XP being deprecated first by MS and then everyone else and then everyone moved to 7 except for a few schizos.
Quit being retarded, you're arguing over semantics and you know what I am talking about. Want another allegory if you truly can't comprehend what I'm saying? To be more closely aligned with your thinking, this new development is the equivalent of 2009 and earlier vehicles no longer working on roads that were designed for Micro$oft Vehicle™️ 2015©️ and newer, effective immediately, even though your 2009 car drove fine on them before, and you already paid for the construction and upkeep of those roads that you can no longer use.

Win7 had some bloat for sure, but it was easy to remove and didn't require a script or additional software to remove it. Not to mention, the Microsoft store and Cortana is so ingrained with Win11 that I'm not even sure that you can remove most of it without fundamentally breaking the OS. The TPM2 autism is a big strike against it as well.

I use 32 bit Win7 on one of my machines because some of the software that I use is fundamentally incompatible with modern-day 64-bit operating systems. Not everything works in a VM or DOSBOX, some things you just need to bang on original or compatible hardware to make things work right. And sometimes you just want an easy path to MS-DOS or system settings without clicking through autistic "tiles". My daily laptop is a gacked out Win7 build that does everything that I need it to do, with no e-begging from MS or government listening in because "SeCuRiTy IsSuEs"

Although all this talk has got me curious if I could get a de-bloated Win10 or theoretical de-bloated Win11 to work with un-cucked legacy software that you actually use to own, like Photoshop, Office, etc... 🤔

Lets just hope windows 11 is the prototype for 12 and that 12 will be the new flagship OS that is not complete garbage. I am skeptical. The fact windows 10/11/12 want you to have a stable Internet connection is fucking blasphemy. It further provides arguments to my previous post about it siphoning off your ISP connection to have "active protection" when we all know they just want grandma to click of the shop panel and buy shit.

So your entire hatred towards 10 comes from that one anecdotal evidence of personal experience. I've never had such an issue with 10 so I might as well say Windows 10 is an incredibly stable OS given that's all the evidence you need to call it trash yet have no issues with 11 which is even more bloated than 10.

I mean, thanks for proving that the idiots in this thread crying about muh Win7 being the best last OS are completely deranged and live in some fantasy world. Then again when Vista came out people cried about how WinXP was "the last best OS" so it's not like it hasn't happened before.

Also, if you think Linux doesn't have this issue, name me at least one mainstream distro version from 2009 that's still supported today. The only reason you bitch about Windows versions being deprecated and not Linux is because Linux distros don't release a whole new distro for every major update.

I get it you love the new direction Bill Gates is going with his OS's he likes to have you on an Internet connection so he can hock you services from his friends. I disagree and think that the concept is a step back and it shows microsoft is pandering to people who never used an OS before and make it more like a fucking tablet.
