Yeah Win7 is still good in comparison to win 11

Steam discontinued Win 7 and they told everyone linux would be next, but then why? Linux is up to date

edit: they* i mean Windows 7 users with it, sorry for the confusion!

what?

[-] Rooki@lemmy.world 17 points 7 months ago

Yeah windows 7 "elitist", i saw some steam discussions about it. But it was just hot air, that they just bloated up.

Win7 might have been a good OS, but it no longer is unless it never touches the internet.

[-] Rooki@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

Yeah, i know just because of the security vulnerabilities, but it was for a long time better OS than windows 10 or 11, and because of that i switched to linux,

I'm sure some releases have become unsupported. The nature of Linux distros makes it a bit harder to define exactly which ones, even harder is you consider flatpak and snaps.

I would be surprised if any of the big ones released at the time Windows 7 was released is not supported. If course there's no gatekeeping on the upgrades that I'm aware of (in general at least)
