no matter how many times you say, and how much you dumb it down, you have NO CHANCE of getting anyone on the side of windows 7 seeing the logic nor actually giving Linux a fair try. because "MAH WINDOWSZAH SEVUNNNN!!!!"

The funniest thing about this is that the skills they'll need to develop to keep Windows 7 running going forward are more or less the same as the ones you need to set up and maintain a Linux system.

You cannot play GTA5 on Linux but you can on Windows 7.

It seems it is not the case anymore. Then just install Linux, haha.

and who said THAT? the entirety of ProtonDB will tell you otherwise. the only point you'd have would be GTA 6. or GTA 4. OH WAIT. NEITHER OF THEM ARE GONNA BE GOOD ON 7. AND BOTH WILL RUN GOOD ON LINUX. HAHAHAHAHA

Yes, you have missed my edit. 1 year ago GTA5 didn't run that well with Proton.

Unless you have it on disk, it's days are number on Windows 7 btw ;)

Also, I can't speak for the Steam version, but the version of GTAV from Epic installs and runs on Linux just fine :P

Yeah, well, I could say other examples, for example if you would want to play PUBG or Fall Guys online, then you cannot do that on Linux. Mostly because of Anti-Cheat reasons. So what you do? Actually, neither of these games can run on Windows 7 anymore either.

Sweet. Nice to see another "Borked" solved. Now we just need PUBG and I can nuke my wife's Windows 11 install again.

I swear, this is one of the ways that Windows users are so entitled.

Most point release non-enterprise GNU/Linux distros get 1-5 years of support, and MacOS typically gets 3 years of support. You should be thankful that Microsoft provided 10 years of security updates for Windows 7, and especially thankful of Valve for supporting Steam on Windows 7 4 years after EOL.

There is no excuse to be running a 14 year old operating system on your main computer.

I'd suggest upgrading to a modern GNU/Linux distros. Even heavier distros (i.e Fedora w/GNOME) are just about as resource intensive as Windows 7 is, so your Windows 7 computer will be able to run it well. Lighter distros packing WMs or light DEs (i.e LXDE or XFCE) will use even fewer resources than Windows 7 and will likely run faster than Windows 7.

you spammed this post already and its been debunked no one is going to accept this as adding anything to the discussion

eh, IDK, folks should just try multi-booting. Best way to test drive an OS, and you don't lose what you've already got.

This rig I'm posting from right now has Win 7, Win 11, and Linux Mint on it. (Mint being our household's daily driver for a few years now) Easy peasy.

Well, far from easy peasy of course, but it seems the best way until now.
So far steam is running fine on W7, but I won't risk buying games here for a while.

INB4 He realises there is no risk to buying games on steam as they are not tied to windows 7 itself
