I would go back to XP if it could handle newer applications, I still have a disk somewhere.

You know what also needs an active Internet connection to be installed? Most Linux distros like Debian and Arch!

This is absolutely not correct.

You can get 'minimal' ISOs for some distros which work but have the basics. A full ISO is perfectly usable on a non-Internet connected device.

You forgot to quote the rest of it, I wonder why, surely it's not because it directly rebutted your response:
Slav Power said:
But they give you the option to install it offline you say? Well do you use that option? Or do you use the online installer? Oh, you use the online installer? So you're perfectly fine with that requirement after all, it's a non-issue in 99.9% of modern day scenarios, who would've thought!

Do you pull the full DVD installer of Debian when you want to install Debian? No, you pull the minimal one that requires an Internet connection, the one that's hotlinked on the main page of Debian, that everyone clicks to download, and no one ever complains about. Do you do all the steps required to install Arch offline? No, you use the default method that requires Internet connection with Arch not even offering premade offline ISO's for you to use so you have to go through extra manual steps to pull the packages needed for offline installation. Do you opt out of any and all installation steps that connect to the Internet to grab all the extra packages needed? No, you always opt into them. Why? Because rarely do you have to install your OS on a machine that's not connected to the Internet so you don't actually care about whether or not you can install it offline because you never do.

You don't exercise the choice that Linux gives you because you don't actually care about being able to install your OS offline. All Linux distros could abandon those offline ISO's tomorrow and you wouldn't care. But when Microsoft does it then it's a big fuss. Because it's never about the software and how it works, but about the people behind it and the ideological war that's waged between them, which is definitely what software is about.

I wouldn't, I have a dedicated XP PC for old, obscure games that don't run on 7/10/11, but Windows has advanced leaps and bounds in QoL and general usability aspect. Really the only thing I don't like in new windows versions is that the pajeet kikes in charge of it force online shit on me. I will update windows when I want. I don't want to celebrate faggot month. I don't want to celebrate nigger month. I don't want online search in my fucking start menu. I don't want ads in my fucking start menu and explorer windows. I mean, I know how to disable all of those features permanently and without negative consequences, but it's a hassle, and if I wanted to fuck around with core configuration files to do the simple shit that should have been a fucking switch in control panel, I'd have switched to linux.

I miss the time when Bill Gates was in charge of OS development instead of furthering NGO kike agenda. He seemed to be better at the former.
 
Why don't yall just use Windows IOT? Literally all the things complained about ITT for the last few pages are absent from it and it is perfectly functional. Plus if you pirate yourself an enterprise version it has a 10 year lifecycle, the security updates will outlast your hardware if you care about those sorts of things.

See LTSConvert for an easy setup of your existing win10 machine.

IoT LTSC has extra features over bare LTSC that you, even as a power user, won't use (except maybe UWF).
 
I like loT LTSC for providing me with a clean base to work with, just like how all the Windows' of the past used to actually be. It doesn't really provide much for me other than that. Anything that I've done and made my own with it is stuff that I would've done anyways with the Pro version of Windows 10 that I used to regularly install. It's a hard-coded attribute in me to tweak and customize shit to my own liking as much as possible no matter what I'm dealing with, autism if you will,

Yeah, I could make my own custom debloated ISO but I have no reason to when loT LTSC is simply the easiest route to go with, with the added bonus of extra updates for about 7 years (yes, that is also something you could get with Microsoft and their program but I'm also too lazy to bother with any of that. I'm good as is).

Then either suck it up or switch to Linux! You can't? Well, too fucking bad, you'll have to pay either way! And guess what? You won't be paying for Home licenses so these restrictions don't affect you, you can still make local domain accounts! Microsoft didn't take that away from you! And if you're not the one paying for the software and hardware, why would you care? Hell, if your employer is going to be selling old business hardware for cheap because of 11's arbitrary restrictions, consider yourself lucky! Grab a nice laptop to tinker with!

I have used Windows my entire life and I have never paid for a Windows license once.

Fun fact: Windows 10 also tries to sell you on the MS account in the OOBE and hides the local domain account option much the same way 11's OOBE does, and 10 is about as bloated and annoying on a fresh install as 11 is. You really can't take all the Win11 doomsaying seriously when you've experienced both 10 and 11 at it's worst first hand, same shit different flavor.

I'm referring to paying for licenses for business machines so that you won't get assraped during a software inspection, basically the only reason you'd care about Windows legality.
 
Linux autists really are the vegans of the tech world, wah wah but what about this extremely niche situation!! It’s okay to think factory farming is fucked up and harmful and that meat is fucking delicious at the same time. You don’t have to be a little queer about it. Have fun with your gay little super 1337 haxor OS that can’t run anything without jumping through a thousand hoops, at least your data that’s been leaked a thousand times from your phone is safe or something.

i'm sure there is some autist that knows a way to modify registry keys enough to just change the text on it. multi million dollar companies will never stop me from pirating

I always use offline installers to ensure I can actually archive it incase I need to open up software that only works on it. People are seething because windows actually has useful software.

Is onecore API decent enough though? I remember reading that it doesn't have terrific compatibility and that was about two or so years ago now.

I do know there was a Japanese guy working on Win2k patches to keep modern programs working under it but no idea of he's still doing that. Would be interesting to see if it works well.

Not that it's a good idea anyway since you're playing a headache version of whackamole in an effort to get things working. You're honestly better off just making specific versions of programs for these older OS' rathar than trying to patch the kernel and praying hard which is what the guy behind the Vista extended kernel project seemed to realize given that he moved over to making supermium and dropping development for the extended kernel project.

??? What text ??? Wtf are you talking about ????

Hiding the fact you're using a pirated copy is probably not too hard given the way these activators work (the same way as how businesses actually activate multiple of their own machines, through KMS). I'd imagine so long as you don't have the script on your machine nor the auto renewal hook installed you'd probably get away just fine (unless they specifically look for whether you purchased that key).

Real fact by the way, these activators aren't so modifying system files as they are just running a local KMS server to provide your client (your copy of Windows) a valid key (the hook files they ask you to install are usually for key renewal). This is how businesses actually activate their own copies of Windows normally (minus the hook files ofc ;))
