>swapped to linux over a year ago
I'm planning on doing so too, but I think I'm still relying on too many windows applications. Is there a way to run windows applications on Linux?
yes, most likely. or there are alternatives. I've been using linux on my laptop since 2010 and the solutions for replacement Windows software that I've found work for me.
You'll need to do some research and figure out the pros and cons that work for you. Not because Linux is worse than Windows, it's just NOT Windows and you may experience some baby duck syndrome for the first month or so, which is normal.
the frick are you talking about, it's an actual phenomenon:

Yes, with WINE
you can try and look up your program in the compatibility database
https://appdb.winehq.org/index.php
if that doesn't work you can also try running a windows virtual machine if your computer is relatively new though getting graphically heavy things to run in them can be a challenge
better UI / UX
faster in older games
minimal bloat / respects user control
can disable DWM natively
no bullshit power savings / timer changes / spectre/meltdown crap
no updates
Counter-Strike: Source
WarCraft 3
Battlefield 4
And whatever else I want to play.
Newest game I own is Elden Ring which required DVRK or whatever, they convert Vulkan to DirectX so DX12 can run on Win7.
Can attest to this. Stopped updating windows about 4 years ago, haven't regretted it since. All the people fearmongering over muh security and muh malware are idiots who run dolphinporn.exe from random people they talk to on discord, which they don't even run in a VM'd browser.
>Windows 7 >Gaming
Nothing like an old good, new bad thread being full of morons who are either too stupid to accept the future or too stupid to try something else. Truly making no move at all is the smartest move in an industry that is constantly moving.
If you didn't upgrade to 10 when they were offering it for free for YEARS then you have only yourself to blame. If you haven't upgraded to 10 by downloading it directly from MS for free and then getting a $10 key off a grey site yet, then you still only have yourself to blame
When you're whining in the next few days about your shit being unsupported, as you still run a 14 year old OS on your pc, then guess who you have to blame?
Just switch to Linux.
Come join the linux gaming threads, post games you play and many an Anon will make an effort to show that the game can be run - given that it isn't multiplayer zoomieslop.
Games worked fine, Linux did not. Everyone recommended Linux Mint and I can't be fricked trying another Distro.
My software isn't support anyway and possibly some of my games, I didn't test all of them.
It's not going to stop working.
And the morons are on Win11.
No, the morons are still on Win7, it was fair to stick with it up until recently, I'll give you that. The delusion is pretty funny though you buttholes have a good way of making people take the opposite side to yours even if you're right. So I cant wait to see you cry and seethe when Steam drops support.
Only people still on W7 are tech illiterate pedophiles who never moved to W10 because of all the spying and advanced telemetry. They probably still use a HDD just like that pedo they caught who worked for Linus Anal Tips.
>tech illiterate
Oh yes, I didn't edit and configure my ISO to run Windows 7. Most Win10/11 users don't even know what an ISO is. >pedophiles

stock windows 10 has 115+ processes and uses 2-6GB RAM at idle and windows defender that breaks / fricks your system if you try disable it
>ReviOS
So you vetted all the changes they did? Also that still has 95 processes. If you want an autistic "custom ISO" then FoxOS or one of those guys have it at 35-40 processes, still heavier than Windows 7 stock.
Also Win7 can run on 6 processes and 450MB of RAM if you really wanted to.
and where did you get that stat from? if people wanted privacy they would be on Linux. So all linux users are pedos?
Anyone that uses Win7 for "privacy" is laughable.
better UI / UX
faster in older games
minimal bloat / respects user control

no bullshit power savings / timer changes / spectre/meltdown crap

You have a fricking nvme and 3090, almost nothing you said ever comes into play when your PC is that powerful. You can get UI mods for practically no overhead with a system that powerful, older games running faster on a 3090 is irrelevant because you are going to get whatever fps your monitor can handle, power savings crap is meaningless on a desktop, the list goes on.
But you do you I guess, in 3 days you wont have steam, so I guess enjoy running HoMM3 at 900fps instead of 895fps
My main 2 games are actually quite heavily impacted not being on Win10. In benchmark scenarios it's 20% difference but in actual gameplay it's more but I can't test it reliably.
It's not just FPS though, system timers and power savings, MPO / DWM have a night and day difference.

I'd say "I'm not ready bros" , but the truth is I don't care anymore. I'll torrent the old games I keep replaying, those few I'd like to try won't run on W7, so no use for steam anymore.
I'd switch to Linux if it worked.
My games worked fine from what it seemed (all but 1 will run and another has stutters).
My software doesn't work though and Linux as a whole wasn't great but that could be just distro related (everyone recommended Mint)
>I'd switch to Linux if it worked.
Don't worry about it, these morons would try to convince you that an alternative is the same as a drop in replacement. An OS is a tool, and it should suit your needs. Not everyone is an autistic personal computing enthusiast. t. archgay

And yes I do use these for my work everyday and no I'm not going to use an emulator (wine) to run it, nor will I use a shitty browser-based alternative such as microsoft365 web or googledocs.
I'm not going to go out of my way to compile UE5 on linux just so that linux users don't have to use proton (which works fine).
Adobe products will never be supported on linux.
X-org and wayland both fricking suck.
I duelboot linux but I never use it, because when I do use it for any of my creative work, I run into a roadblock where it's easier to just switch back to windows instead of fighting with it.
it's easier to just do all your work on a windows install then frick with any of that. what linuxgays fail to realize in this thread is that people don't want to waste time when they can use something that already just works perfectly fine.

That's not the way and you should have known that. Doing shit because other teenagers say it's kool is wetoddid.
Wipe that shit, install Windows then invest a couple of years learning Linux in VMs only if you have a professional need for something it does. Most users are better off with Windows but this enrages evanglists who are young therefore stupid. I've used Linux since 1999 and prefer it but I NEVER suggest it to anyone else because users should already be highly skilled, self-selected and not care about childish garbage like gaymes. If you're still young enough to game stick with Windows and enjoy your new machine.
People tell you to install Linux for the same reason women tell each other to get pregnant, VALIDATION.
If linux supported Adobe products I would actually use it as my daily driver.
But they don't, so unless you work work as a data admin or webdeveloper, linux is useless to the average consumer.
Linuxgays will always refuse to acknowledge this simple fact, claiming that OSS is "just as good" as tools that have been around for 20 years and have had millions of dollars put into the development of them.
Also Nvidia performance sucks on x-org. >I use arch btw
>what this thread suggests: everyone on Ganker uses highly specialized tools, there's dozens of audio engineers and CADgays! >the reality of it: Nooo I can't use GIMP to crop my holiday photos, I NEED photoshop for it!
But maybe like ubisoft connect you may be able to trick the program by downloading an earlier version and changing the version number somewhere in the files so that it doesn't try to update until an update is pushed.

So you vetted all the changes they did? Also that still has 95 processes. If you want an autistic "custom ISO" then FoxOS or one of those guys have it at 35-40 processes, still heavier than Windows 7 stock.
Also Win7 can run on 6 processes and 450MB of RAM if you really wanted to.
Its been pretty much proven that pedophiles with large CP collections are the main people who still use Windows 7
and where did you get that stat from? if people wanted privacy they would be on Linux. So all linux users are pedos?
Anyone that uses Win7 for "privacy" is laughable.
>30 series graphics card computer and NVMe
>Probably good cpu and ram too
Ok, so what is your actual reason for staying on W7?
here
You have a fricking nvme and 3090, almost nothing you said ever comes into play when your PC is that powerful. You can get UI mods for practically no overhead with a system that powerful, older games running faster on a 3090 is irrelevant because you are going to get whatever fps your monitor can handle, power savings crap is meaningless on a desktop, the list goes on.
But you do you I guess, in 3 days you wont have steam, so I guess enjoy running HoMM3 at 900fps instead of 895fps
My main 2 games are actually quite heavily impacted not being on Win10. In benchmark scenarios it's 20% difference but in actual gameplay it's more but I can't test it reliably.
It's not just FPS though, system timers and power savings, MPO / DWM have a night and day difference.
>My main 2 games are actually quite heavily impacted not being on Win10. In benchmark scenarios it's 20% difference
Name them
Counter-Strike: Source and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive.
Now I know what you're going to say but it's 64 player servers with tonnes of custom maps / plugins etc. They are heavily effected by windows timers and spectre/meltdown.

>still running a 15 year old OS
I know we're all 30+ on here, but god damn.
Times change, old man.
I'd say "I'm not ready bros" , but the truth is I don't care anymore. I'll torrent the old games I keep replaying, those few I'd like to try won't run on W7, so no use for steam anymore.
>Windows 11
It updates automatically while I sleep
I seriously don't care

The absolute state.
I'd switch to Linux if it worked.
My games worked fine from what it seemed (all but 1 will run and another has stutters).
My software doesn't work though and Linux as a whole wasn't great but that could be just distro related (everyone recommended Mint)
>I'd switch to Linux if it worked.
Don't worry about it, these morons would try to convince you that an alternative is the same as a drop in replacement. An OS is a tool, and it should suit your needs. Not everyone is an autistic personal computing enthusiast.

Also you skipped over the other software.
I accept your concession.
If only there was a way you could fire up like a virtual desktop running windows or something
Ok? Does that work for games as well?
So what you're saying is that linux isn't good enough for anon to use it on bare metal. What a shitty sales pitch. The chances are that he's going to use linux in a vm, and not the other way around. And that's if he even needs it.

word, excel, powerpoint doesn't work on linux, and I'm not fricking with libreoffice.
And yes I do use these for my work everyday and no I'm not going to use an emulator (wine) to run it, nor will I use a shitty browser-based alternative such as microsoft365 web or googledocs.
I'm not going to go out of my way to compile UE5 on linux just so that linux users don't have to use proton (which works fine).
Adobe products will never be supported on linux.
X-org and wayland both fricking suck.
I duelboot linux but I never use it, because when I do use it for any of my creative work, I run into a roadblock where it's easier to just switch back to windows instead of fighting with it.
it's easier to just do all your work on a windows install then frick with any of that. what linuxgays fail to realize in this thread is that people don't want to waste time when they can use something that already just works perfectly fine.
>GeForce Experience
You don't need that on winblows either.
What is the alternative then?
You dont need an alternative, just dont use it
is this how linux trannies operate day to day? no wonder you cut off your wieners as well. virgin freaks.
Geforce experience is literally useless
to you maybe
Explain why you need geforce experience installed
Sharpening filter.
Overlay
Overclocks
Recording with indicator
Also all compatible with all anti-cheats.
Control panel has that
Why would you need the overlay?
Dont need GFE to overclock
Use a plugin
Ok?
I didn't see it in the control panel in Linux. Also it's different in GFE.
To monitor FPS or temps.
One less program to run in the background.
Such as? I did use an audio one at one stage however its support has been dropped, but also found out it was causing performance issues unironically.
And yes, that is a must. Some anti-cheats block OBS or require desktop mode.
All GFE does is tick boxes in the control panel, its just fancy so morons can navigate it. That includes updating drivers.
Use something like HWmonitor then, much less bloat.
Having lower bloat programs is better than having one bloatfilled shit one that does everything.
Took me 5 seconds to find a recording plugin for obs
What anticheat blocks obs in 2023?
NVIDIA control panel does not allow for overclocking, performance overlay, recording, and the sharpening filter algorithm is different.
HWMonitor can display framerates, frametimes and be in a good compact box on the corner of my screen?
Mind sharing it? Because any pre-2021 won't work on newer versions.
CS2 and Battlefield 2042 didn't, at least for a while. I'm thinking of MSI Afterburner rather that didn't play well with anti-cheats.
Thats why you use other less bloated programs. You're obviously concerned about programs running in the back hogging up resources then have GFE running all the time rather than sticking some lightweight programs on your other monitor in the rare instance you need to monitor something?
Nothing compares to GFE though moron.
You're right, because other programs are better and Geforce experience is complete shit
You can't even mention a single one.
I dont need to when Geforce experience is bottom of the barrel tier shit
That's great anon but I do.
You're replying to a linux coper that probably said the same thing when AMD didn't have programs like CoreCtrl. Just write a fan curve graph and underclock in a config file, bro.
You say that as a shitpost but there are gays on here that unironically associate Linux with trannies. NuGanker is unreal
Download drivers from nvidia's website and record gameplay with OBS? GFE is just bloat eating up resources to phone home.
What about the other features? I barely use the recording. Also OBS doesn't have a recording indicatior.
>
That's not the way and you should have known that. Doing shit because other teenagers say it's kool is wetoddid.
Wipe that shit, install Windows then invest a couple of years learning Linux in VMs only if you have a professional need for something it does. Most users are better off with Windows but this enrages evanglists who are young therefore stupid. I've used Linux since 1999 and prefer it but I NEVER suggest it to anyone else because users should already be highly skilled, self-selected and not care about childish garbage like gaymes. If you're still young enough to game stick with Windows and enjoy your new machine.
People tell you to install Linux for the same reason women tell each other to get pregnant, VALIDATION.
Not even gonna check the thread. I'm sure it's already full of MS pajeet shills shilling literal garbage like W10 and W11.
If linux supported Adobe products I would actually use it as my daily driver.
But they don't, so unless you work work as a data admin or webdeveloper, linux is useless to the average consumer.
Linuxgays will always refuse to acknowledge this simple fact, claiming that OSS is "just as good" as tools that have been around for 20 years and have had millions of dollars put into the development of them.
Also Nvidia performance sucks on x-org.
>I use arch btw
>say the line bart
b-baby duck os
Judging by how ubisoft connect did it. Steam is just not going to launch anymore. It'll give an error and go dong so there's no accessing the library.
But maybe like ubisoft connect you may be able to trick the program by downloading an earlier version and changing the version number somewhere in the files so that it doesn't try to update until an update is pushed.

Most anons don't care it's not going to work or have a backup. However, I'm waiting for that one low functioning aspie to blow his fricking lid so I can laughb at it.
Hurt fricking sucks. Listen to better music you fricking homosexual.
I'm gonna laugh when it's jan 1st and all my games still work while everyone jumped ship to a newer windows or loonix.
Here's some quotes from the creator of Linux.
https://stallman.org/articles/political-articles.html
>Although generally supportive of President Hugo Chávez, Stallman has criticised some policies on television broadcasting, free speech rights, and personal privacy rights, in meetings with Chávez and in public speeches in Venezuela.
>I'm skeptical of that picture, because on March 4, Greg Palast reported that Chavez had done something very sensible: he had raised taxes on oil being exported from Venezuela (from 16% to 32%, I have read elsewhere) to pay for social programs. In other words, he insisted that the rich countries that buy the oil must let Venezuela, a poor country, have a substantial share of the value of that oil.

>As the Republicans get more right-wing, the Democrats follow them, staying just one step behind. That will continue as long as right-wing Democrats can get elected by saying that the Republicans are worse.
>I didn't vote for the Republicans who started these nasty policies and I won't vote for Democrats that support them either. Thus, the only Democrats I will support are those who are strong and principled progressives.
>Thus, my vote is for Jill Stein for president. Until someone worthy of FDR's memory is the Democratic candidate for president, I will continue voting Green.

>Use the elegant gender-neutral pronouns "person", "per" and "pers". They fit into English smoothly. They are easy to remember, since they come from "person", and the last two resemble "her" and "hers". They are natural to use, since they work just like "she", "her" and "hers". "Pers" ends in a voiced consonant, just like "hers".

The entire linux ecosystem is based on communist ideals of "sharing" software.
He is a good person, and his views on software are good for everybody. I just wish people extended these views to hardware as well.
>The entire linux ecosystem is based on (...) "sharing" software.
I don't even know what you mean. Is there an ecosystem based on hoarding software? Linux is about being able to actually own what you use.
Don't bother, this guy probably thinks paid mods are a good idea
you want a balance of closed and open. windows 7 balanced closed and open. completely open is bad. completely closed is bad
can you explain why without sounding like an election tourist?
Linux devs want you to give your software away for free. They hate capitalism and want to see it destroyed. How fricking stupid can you get?
There's nothing stopping you from selling free software. I'm sorry free software isn't compatible with the American brand of capitalism, where you cannibalize your own society for profit. I'm sorry you are so brain rotten that you think that's the only way to do capitalism in the first place.
Read a book sometime.
>They hate capitalism
Ok? And Microsoft doesnt, yet they still use Linux
Who's stopping you from selling your software who and competiting with an autistic software wizard that releases his programs for free?
They will just stop testing on win7 that is all.
they know that modern chromium won't work on win7 after they discontinue older version. You can still force chromium to work on win7 and steam will still run on win7.
