sometimes the truth is hard to take. thats fine. people will come to their senses in due time when ♥♥♥♥ happens. it just ends up making the truth hit harder,

Can't change everyone's minds, especially with that method

i don't have to change EVERYONEs mind. i just at least want to stop ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ spreading and harming even more people especially with how people don't bother with fact checking anything anymore.

Why is this conversation staying so far form cozy? Windows 7 is a good, solid OS with an extensive history of applications and development. Perhaps we should focus on problem solving instead of problem searching?

here lemme correct your statement:
"Windows 7 is a dead Obsolete operating system with a history of undeserved praise and timing that made the Operating system be perceived better than it actually was"combine that with extra facts like "the end of life for windows 7 was in 2020, no version since has been daily drivable and secure at one time"

There's a small correction there to your words: The last official update to Windows 7 was released by microsoft in Jan 2024. That means Jan 2024 was the official end of Windows 7. Not 2020.

hello

Wahoo, that's wild here .

II have always thought that it was better to let people choose what they wanted to use rather than to impose our choices on them as long as it did not have repercussions on their immediate environment,else it's the start of fascism and/or disctatorship.

And there is no laws that prevent people using w7 or whatever else os they want, so feel free to do what you want till you not participate to the destruction of the planete...

Sure its not illegal to be daily driving windows 7, but it's a damn sight dumber than running windows 10. And you deserve every bit of laughing at for doing it. The same way it's not illegal to do it. Windows 7 users are not magically based for using windows 7 or immune from proper criticism or being joked upon. So do Windows 10 or 11 users. Ubuntu users, mint users, arch users. Everyone.

You linux people really need to learn how to present an effective argument.
(If the goal is to change people's minds.)
Talking about individuals who prefer to use Windows 7 as "them" is the first mistake.

Hello, meet the linux people, with the best ever OS. Let's have some coffee. ;-)

Those who moved to Win10/11 or Linux should not go back to Win7.

I respectfully disagree, with both 7 and 11 on the same system, I spend barely half an hour a week in 11.
Debloated Windows11 works, but the user experience in Windows 7 is so much better.

If you seriously have problem with people running Windows 7, just move on.

Plus, there are still people daily driving Windows 7.

It turns out we were both wrong. It was Feb 8, 2023. See here: https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/ScopedViewInline.aspx?updateid=0835612e-2975-4660-b61d-e5ecf8cb5391

For those that use Signal, the desktop app is working fine again using VxKex. You need to apply it to the EXE after installing. It has been working reliably for me for the last few months.
