i am incredibly confused by what you mean, Microsoft’s website clearly states the extended end of supoort for 7 was jan 2020 as stated here https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/lifecycle/products/windows-7, and besides, the marketshare for windows 7 was still growing in 2012

by any chance, do you mean a push over to windows 7 from something like xp? or are you talking about a push from 7 to 8, which never really happened as all the focus was on the impending 2014 windows xp end of support date

windows 7 reached extended eol in 2020, for security updates only, i believe that’s what they were talking about

glad that this will be patched out in most phones because android is like windows/linux and can be patched indepenently by the os develop- oh wait nope its all down to manufacturers that only give 3 years of support leaving many phones vulnerable… sighhhhhhh

this feels like a fever dream

They are extremely similar to the point that I think they are edging

try using pcem or other kinds of virtualisation

cant you just run the installer with wine which is like 2000% easier?

as far as im aware, roblox’s new anti cheat is not kernel level but rather user level, besides it would scare me if it could run at kernel level considering that it never asks for admin permissions

that’s just extra friction, with UIs you can explore and figure out at a glance roughly what a button will do

I disagree. It can be a useful learning point for both parties, especially if you have differing opinions and have good points for them.

i am of the opinion that applications on linux need some work, flatpak would be perfect for this however it doesn’t have a good user friendly permissions system, it’s a pain in the ass to install applications on non-system drives (which is a much bigger pain for native packages btw) and wine needs to be more user friendly in terms of prefix management, yes we have lutris and bottles but those feel like superglue to wine itself, im genuinely on the verge of learning C and doing all of this myself since that’s most of what’s holding me back from linux

literally just run the setup/game exe through lutris or bottles, then add the shortcut to steam

that is unless you’re running disk encryption, in which case your data (and in most cases your OS) is safe from unauthorized access, although there is not much to stop them just wiping it or running their own os on it lol

ive only upgraded from my 2014 shit phone in 2021, and i plan to do the same with this one for as long as i can

asus has killed the possibility of me being a potential customer then lol

technically that is only true if the malware in question does something in the kernel or relies on an unimplemented wine api call, since a lot of malware is an infostealer or ransomware, its quite likely that it’ll work just fine under wine

definitely hyper for me

is this an nvidia moment?
