I've barely used lutris since most games run fine through steam, even non-steam games added to the library run fine through various proton versions, sometimes works better where lutris fails

hello
never really understound why people like to stake launchers, when for my case i really hate that ...you can easily add any game from any other launcher directly under steam and use steam to launch it as i did for diablo 3

are any targeted at win 7 anymore? no... not since support dropped (including esu)

It's nice of you to finally acknowledge in public that there are no more updates for Desktop versions of Windows 7. I will save your comment here and refer to it in the future if/when you decide to "walk back" on this and claim there are new updates for Windows 7 some day.

It seems to me you would all be better served by getting a job / Installing Win 11, all the work you guy spent here yapping would have afforded you better hardware and an up to date O/S.

That doesn't really prove anything then does it? These were the last updates prior to Microsoft discontinuing support for Windows 7?

I'm not following how this is an example of updates after Microsoft stopped supporting Windows 7, from Windows embedded and/or Server being applied and working for Windows 7?

We are not struggling with Win7. It is a totaly fine OS for us to use and provide what we need. Why you realy bother what Im using for example? A total stranger on web for you.

I am not bothered about you, the argumentation for Windows 7 users but also Linux users are similar and revolve around made up rubbish to hide their lack of work / productivity.

[Ontrix_Kitsune]

I feel this is a good time to go ahead and remind everyone of the current state of Windows 7 since there seems to be a lot of misinformation floating around in this thread recently that needs clearing up.

There are no more new updates for Desktop versions of Windows 7.
There will never be another update released for Desktop versions of Windows 7.
Installing updates for Server 2008 into Desktop versions of Windows 7 will not extend the usable lifespan of Desktop versions of Windows 7.
Installing updates for Server 2008 into Desktop versions of Windows 7 will not update Desktop versions of Windows 7.

Any person that claims there is a new update released for Desktop versions of Windows 7 is lying and attempting to deceive the public with false information.
Any person that claims there is an app or program that contains updates for Desktop versions of Windows 7 is lying and attempting to deceive the public with false information.

This is not an argument. This is not something to be discussed, debated, or debunked. This is factual information. I feel it is important for any Windows 7 users that find this thread to know all of this information just in case they are arriving in this thread for the first time looking for new updates for Windows 7.

Again, why you bother?
