They could convince me to update by making windows 11 not suck.

By reworking windows 7 to work with new hardware

God I'd cry if I could get windows 7 supported again

You could probably install linux bare metal on your computer, and daily drive windows 7 in a vm. Good luck getting compatible software anymore, but if you can, create an image and you are set for the foreseeable future

Actually not a bad idea. A lot of games I play actually run better on 7 than on 10.

Or I could reskin mint to be Windows Aero

Every pop up just convinced me to switch to Linux lol

[–] AlexWIWA@lemmy.ml 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Same. My next build will be Linux. Just distro shopping right now.

Haha felt that. I jumped from distro to distro constantly then finally settled in fedora after trying it a 2nd time
