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.
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.
Isn’t it insecure to run such an old version tho? (Since it stopped recieving updates years ago)
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.
