Maybe so, but there may be others reading the chat willing to listen.

If you have a Windows install that's been upgraded several times since Windows 7, you probably have a bunch of crap and OEM bloatware hanging around. It's a good opportunity to do a cleanup and decide what you really need or not.

Alternatively, Linux Mint has the option to install alongside windows as a dual boot system, where you can test it out and switch back to Windows if needed

Windows will probably continue to become more shitty, doing things like killing SSDs or having other system breaking bugs. It's best to at least be aware of the alternatives so you aren't stuck dealing with garbage because you don't know any better, like a Gavin Newsom voter

My thoughts exactly. At least Mac is a proper OS. Linux is a chaotic mess made by schizos.

Imagine not upgrading your system since fucking 7. Holy shit put the old dog down before the power supply explodes.
 
I haven't updated my windows 10 in a couple of years or so. Nothing ever happens. Is there any reason why I should care about this "end of life support"?

Did someone report the Windows 12 discussion, and then some mod deleted instead of merging it? Because I can't find my posts that I spent 15+ minutes typing up.

No point of asking the thread how you should feel about something if the answer is very obviously that there's no reason for you to care, same as if a W7 user decided to ask this question.

Also ITT: Stop convincing people to use things you like that they obviously have shown that they hate, its retarded. Why would you even want them to switch if they very clearly despise it and sperg about hating it, people who do this in the different OS threads should be hung for wasting my bandwith.

Windows updates needing like 5GB of free space to install is such a massive fucking red flag.

Yea if you have 2TB that's not a lot or anything but it does indicate that Microsoft is not even trying to optimize shit anymore.

True, but Cyberjunk 2069 needs almost 69 GiB of free space to upgrade as of 2.31, and that is only the temporary space needed to download the upgrade files, without the permanent storage space neded for the program folder. The update has got so huge that I can't put it on a ramdisk anymore like I used to before 2.3.

The Core 2 Duo is out of date brother. Upgrade your shit.

Null resurrected it for me, the OP deleted it for some reason.

I'm about to get a Windows 11 laptop to pass it onto someone a couple days later. Good timing since the local account bypass(es) should still work, so I can get in there, install Brave, Office, or whatever, and hand it off.

Buy whatever you need to buy before the promised November 1 tariffs. Black Friday may suck.

The smart thing is to commit to trying it for a week or two then go back to Windows. It give you an opportunity to clean up your system a little and you have first hand experience to see if Mint works for you. A couple years ago I tried that and found that it worked fine but I didn't have an incentive to switch, and didn't switch until a few months later when Microsoft started ramping up the ads

Tried that and it fucking sucked because I use a Geforce.
 
if microsoft decides to brick every version of windows to force everyone to use 11, im personally moving onto linux (i really want steam to make steamos for pc please valve please do it already)

There's SteamOS, Bazzite, Chimera, and Cachy Linux that's already available.

it's mostly windows defender not being updated for the modern viruses and malwares, alongside a few bugfixing patches.
feature updates and shieet have stopped.

I run Windows in VMs for various things. I always get annoyed when a Windows install with a web browser and VPN client has issues updating when I "only" gave the VM disk 40GB and have to go through all the guides to clean up all the crap updates leave behind.

I've had two PSUs fail in the last 10 years, one from a 2021 machine, and the other from a 2017 machine. From 1989-2015, zero failures. The last decade was, from my two data points, a decade of dogshit PSUs.
 
Is there a way to reliably copy all my current windows settings onto an entirely new install on another drive without a microsoft account? A few years ago I had installed Windows onto an SSD that had left over Lenovo drivers on it. The OEM for my desktop computer isn't Lenovo and I'm unsure what affects this may have on my system.

nope, he is right.
there are shit white label PSU's that can't handle one power surge and just allahu akbar themselves, the saying NEVER GO CHEAP ON PSU is a absolute truth, no matter the brand.
