>windows 7 is 14 yers old >updoot to the 10 yers old windows 10 os, its safer and has so many features! like the ability to run google spyware and turn your computer off randomly like its infected by windows xp era spyware. we call it windows updates 😉
We use 22 year old inhouse software where I work. Because shit works.
My workplace uses software from 1995 that has been maintained / updated. The amount of loss using something else would cost a hundred million at least because of cost, bugs, downtime, training staff etc.
goldberg says to abandon them when they are 18 years old so he can turn them into debt slav- i mean so they can live as independent adults. Fricking yourself over to benefit others is the cornerstone of being grown up, goyim.
>doesn't play competitive multiplayer >doesn't have friends to play with >shit frame times
just say you play offline, non competitive, farming sim games by yourself next time, okay anon?
Running Windows 11 means literally every keypress you make is logged and sent to Redmond. They can also take screengrabs of your desktop, follow which websites you access, execute arbitrary code on your PC; et cetera. None of this is true on Windows 7 or even 8.1. Microsoft's new business is espionage aand that is why they're so desperate to get everyone to "upgrade" to a Windows that has a permanent backdoor.
>May the EU have a field day.
From what? Forcing Valve or rather Google's chrome to keep support for Windows 7? How about Windows XP or 9x OS's that supported Steam in the past?
Because google are gays and have suicide bullshit in the latest version of chrome, which is an issue since google are gays and leave holes for exploitation open.
It'll be drastically reduced in 2, maybe 3 weeks. Shills doesn't get paid to stick around much longer than that. After that, threads will only be made by the two morons that actually fell for the poojeet spam.
I'm looking forward to the regret threads honestly, like that one guy who kept spamming a pic of some clown girl for a week after he bought a new GPU he couldn't use or whatever happened there
Why the actual frick do you have your library grouped by month/year. It's a shitload of wasted space.
I refuse to believe you care enough about exactly when you bought something, to make subfolders like that.
Oh. I've never used that so I didn't know how it looks. Alphabetical seems much more sensical to me. With a collapsed folder for the games I'm done with so they don't clutter up the main list.
>Vermintide II in library
Try playing it, you can't. The subhumans in charge of development fricked up compatibility with Windows 7 because "Steam will do it anyway". They did it to implement FSR and DLSS, both of which ended up being catastrophically buggy and unusable.
can confirm, have dual win7 and xp PC in Poland

you can sort by recent activity(and that mean played not bought) or by ready to play(only show installed), you can add your own categories etc

In a year you'll forget about it. Much like you did with 98, 2000, and XP's support on Steam. Well, unless you're too fricking young to remember any of those OS, which is shockingly become more and more apparent as time goes on.

Yeah you're gonna be using emulators, virtual boxes, or engine recreations eventually.
Timing is off. If I had known about proton when I was building last November I would have switched. Now it's laziness because I don't want to reinstall all my shit. As long as valve keeps supporting wine/proton it's a near certainty I will never use Windows again after this computer.
For a convenient, recent list of hardware combos that are known to play nicely with linux/proton/wine right out of the box so I'm not stuck needing some obscure workaround driver for my specific mobo/GPU before I can even settle down to learning how shit works at the most surface level. Also, I'd like an autism file browser that's willing to abstract the displayed structure so that my drives are listed in the x: format of windows and treated as distinct entities in the folder tree instead of child folders within removable media.
>For a convenient, recent list of hardware combos that are known to play nicely with linux/proton/wine right out of the box so I'm not stuck needing some obscure workaround driver for my specific mobo/GPU
Literally any CPU and an AMD GPU.

You choose where to mount everything. So you can have /mnt/windows, /mnt/ssd, etc. You could even make it /mnt/c, /mnt/d, etc if you really like that format. Good enough?
The day Linux can fix all the antihcheat shit from getting you banned its when im changing, hoping it occurs soon enough cuz I fricking hate Win11, its so fricking bad vs 10.
Windows loads faster and performs faster than Linux. I don't know what kind of dogshit fake testing other sites use but I've never had a performance gain on linux.
It's just lintrannies hoping that wingays take the estrogen pill and switch to linux instead of moving to a newer version like every release cycle. Muh year of the linux gayming desktop.
>Ganker >not poojeets paid to push a narrative
Anon please don't be so gullible. MS want people to move away from 7 so they can harvest more data. Poojeets may be incompetent morons, but even they're capable of copypasting generic scaremonger shit. And they'll work for a bowl of rice a day because they think that's a lot.
I'm playing half life: opposing force, win7 pro. I even logged out and logged back in. I guess were winning? I don't really care. I have win10 on a usb drive somewhere in this desk I used to install for normie homosexuals who were worried their machine would stop working because bill said no more service packs lmao
i'm sure it won't take long before steam refuses to let you boot it up without an update which will brick you. idk why you would hold out so bad. you could even dualboot into 10 for gaming and boot into 7 when you're done if you're that autistic. just install 10 and run the shutupwin10 or whatever program that disables all the annoying crap and telemetry. it's a better os, things work more plug and play and it never bluescreens unlike 7. if you're so worried about muh security i assume you have like cp or some shit on your pc which why would you be connected to the internet at all on that pc
you're a total clown if you think every last bit of your personal information hasn't been stolen and sold 100 times over by 100 different companies including microsoft. you think win7 is safe? and win10 is where they started harvesting? lmao
>you're already giving them scraps with patched in win7 telemetry, just switch to hardcoded win1x telemetry so they can take everything
No. Sorry Rakeesh. No bonus rice for you today.
They changed the message, it will still work fine on windows 7. They just won't update for windows 7 anymore.
Literal nothing burger, RIP morons that downgraded to 10/11
wasn't this always the case? It literally tells you right there, they will stop mantaining support for win7/8 that means no new updates, steam will still work on those machines
Why are people thinking it will stop working altogether?
Valve's original notice was more ambiguous, which led to everyone thinking Steam would just outright not work on 7/8 machines. They later clarified the EoS situation but the damage was done
Windows 7 chads after seeing the message on Steam: HOLD!
Weak pussy b***hes that see the message on steam: oh my god, please help me mommy Gaben! I will do as you say, slide windows 11 into my gaping butthole! ^o^
Steam still works just fine on windows 7 and it always will, literal weak willed homosexuals got played.
>goyim you need to update your opperating system >YOU HAVE TO >WE WONT SUPPORT YOU IF YOU DONT >REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE BABY DUCK REEEEEEEEEEE UPDOOT NOOOOW
Windows 10 and 11 are cancer, not changing my whole OS for nothing. Steam was never going to just stop working on 7 out of nowhere, fricking morons that fell for this are embarrassing.
Microsoft want to turn windows users into apple tards, upgrading to the new OS and drooling like cows in the field when told to do so. Whether it's better or not.
Fricking npcs do exactly as you're told, every time LOL
For the same reason New Zealand is ran by humans and not sheep, despite there being considerably more sheep in the country than humans. You don't cater to mindless cattle, even if they are the majority.
I like how Ganker make a big deal out of this nothingburger when win 7 users were like 0.001% out of all users in latest survey, and basically no one gives a shit about it.
This place is unfortunately haunted by a linux discord of 5 trannies who constantly try to shill their defunct excuse of an os to anyone they can.
That's all there is to it, the rest is just usual shitposting.
People who made the jump to linux, how was your first month or so using it? What type of problems did you encounter? Were there features that you missed from windows?
it was a nightmare
ensuring that Japanese fonts display correctly in Windows is changing one setting, in Mint it's at least 4 steps, if you miss one step, pic happens
The thing is, once you understand what you're actually doing to set regions properly in Linux, not only is it super easy to automate when you launch, but you can also do it without affecting the entire system (unlike Windows). I've found playing moonrunes games in Linux works well.
I'm still too moronic to get Don't Starve Together to play. I can't load into my hosted server, syncs with the clouds saves though so I have no idea. Hangs when I select the server and it says loading til it crashes 5 min later
I didn't have WINE and proton and shit before and it ran but stuttered, now I have all that done and it won't load into a game lol
Having a little trouble, that's all I can say
Stable. Switched from Win7 to openSUSE Tumbleweed like 2 years ago.
>installation was easy and quick >all i had to do was download mpv Media Player, Steam as well as wine and wine/protontricks >90%+ of the games i tried worked just out of the box >getting FF XIV to run was annoying but that was less related to Linux and more about Square Enix account system being complete dogshit >made me switch from Steam to the non-Steam version and everything there just worked with the xiv launcher >even lets you install all those plugins easily if you really want to
Worst thing that happend was like a year after where i updated and that somehow bricked my system. But openSUSE allows you to rollback into the old kernel so i just did that and waited a week before trying to update again - after that everything was fine. Outside of that Chromium broke for like a week unless i reset it every time after system start - now it works again just fine. Not like i used it much to begin with as i am mostly a Firefox user tho.
As far as games go some older games were annoying to get running but some of those issues happend on my old Windows PC as well. Games like Battle for Procyon aren't made for modern mouses so you have to artifically decrease the dpi or the game is unplayable - I also had to use wine to frick with the registry cause the 3dmodels won't load otherwise - But again: This is an issue that also appears on modern Windows. I never played a lot of multiplayer games to begin with so things like drm/anticheat stopping me was never an issue for me.
I ran Mint on my laptop for a few months first just to get used to it. This was like two years back. The initial switch was alright actually. As soon as I tried to do things though like get an external drive mounting on its own or figuring out where I wanted to install standalones, it felt frustrating. After a month or two of digging in, I felt much more comfortable and ended up liking a lot of the ways Linux does things as opposed to Windows that I didn't really recognize before. Happy with Arch on my main desktop and laptop now. Never going back.
The thing I miss the most is VR (still sucks on Linux with little support, ALVR is helping but it's a mess) and straightforward game modding (feels like for most serious modding you need to relearn a lot each time).
Linux mint, no problems at all because i was already used to using terminals on Windows thanks to youtube-dl and gallery-dl.
Emulators worked out the box.
Getting Proton to work has been quite the experience though, i decided to dual boot LTSC instead, Switching OS with a SSD takes 3-5 seconds anyway.
Ricing it down was hard though.
Basically every game I had worked, and switch my secondary drive with all my legally backed up vidya to ext4.
"Worst" part was installing DXVK to both of my wine prefixes.
So how exactly is this working?
Because i see this as a test for an eventual EoS for EVERYONE. Can Win7 users still use games on their HDD? Can they even DL their games as THEY wish?
I feel like this shit shouldn't need Steam and be a backend DL because you have the licenses on your profile that say you can play the games still, you just can't access Steam itself.
They really should explain this shit throughly so everyone understands where we at, ya know?
fact: 8.1 is okay, 8 was the actual dogshit OS
10 is simply yet another reskin of 8.1, 11 following suit (both unusable shit)
I may have to find or script an equivalent to the 8.1 start menu when I move to troonix

My Brothers, we're staying aboard until we go down with the ship!
It'll probably stop working in about a month or two after three more asswipe-tier UI updated to make it mismatch itself even more. SteamCMD may work for longer. I'd rather go without unguarded Chromium slop anyway.
They backed out of just blocking it day one (which is what happened when they dropped XP/Vista). The news post was updated to say that it's simply no longer supported now, so it'll keep working until Steam changes enough to break things.
this is why the hobby is so fricking moronic, RGBmorons that love to consoom the latest shit made Microsoft just do shit like this

reminder that it's chromium that's dropping support for windows 7, not steam. steam uses chromium elements for its UI. valve has no reason itself to not support 7 for longer, but it's not viable to rewrite/rework all of steams u.i for .75% of the user base. this is actually one of the reasons valve has pushed for Linux for a while, so that something like this can't happen.
sure, but it's a liability from valves perspective. someone does continue to use it, some security vulnerability gets exploited, some moron on windows 7 loses and cries on the steam forum about losing his 3 f2p games and his 12 grand in cosmetics, yadda yadda. or just announce your dropping support. which is what they did.
chromium itself announced it dropped win 7 basically the same time. anything that integrated chromium is no longer supported on win 7. this also means Microsoft edge, amazon silk, and Samsung internet is no longer supported. but literally who is using those on windows 7.

Why discontinue 7 when the differences under the hood between it and 8 are superficial?
Because google are gays and have suicide bullshit in the latest version of chrome, which is an issue since google are gays and leave holes for exploitation open.
google controls chromium which now controls the web writ large, steam uses chromium, win 7 isn't a botnet like win 8-11 hence losing "support"
I haven't been asked to take the hardware survey in 5 years and I said no thanks to that one
The only game I "need" steam to play is TF2 which I hop on maybe 5 times a year. Everything else just works.
I'm on 7 and I never used Steam. My post will be ignored
how many more days of shitposting about windows 7 can we expect then

there were similar people autistically screeching while going from Windows 98 to XP.
Come to think of it the same people refused to move on from W95
W95 could have a point if they were b***hing about W98 having IE as an unremovable part of the operating system
it just werks

Steamdb has been a batter way to track new releases ever since they redesigned the storepage anyway.
This is the same as complaining that you can't use Windows 95 to play modern games back when Windows 7 released in 2009. Technology has moved on.
Modern games run on Windows 7 just fine. It's just google chrome that's dropping support.
It's not the same thing as all since this shift has nothing to do with technology and everything to do with spying on you. Yes, you, the person reading this post, you are the one being spied on.
I'm staying on 7 just to see if it will go into negative.
what are you waiting for?
Win12. The rule of thumb is to skip every other iteration. If that turns out being more dogshit than 11 then I guess it's finally time.
The meme of thumb only works by excluding releases that would invalidate it.

>Also, I'd like an autism file browser that's willing to abstract the displayed structure so that my drives are listed in the x: format of windows and treated as distinct entities in the folder tree
You choose where to mount everything. So you can have /mnt/windows, /mnt/ssd, etc. You could even make it /mnt/c, /mnt/d, etc if you really like that format. Good enough?
I'm not a virgin so it always boots me during install.
A version of linux that people who have had sex before can use.

I will never switch to linux. It legit will never happen under any circumstances. I'd stop using computers before using linux
I'm not. This is what pushed me over the edge.
The day Linux can fix all the antihcheat shit from getting you banned its when im changing, hoping it occurs soon enough cuz I fricking hate Win11, its so fricking bad vs 10.
Windows loads faster and performs faster than Linux. I don't know what kind of dogshit fake testing other sites use but I've never had a performance gain on linux.
Am I missing something, Steam on Windows 7 works perfectly fine for me?
>Ganker loses their minds all year long
>in the end Windows 7 chads WON
hate to see it
It's just lintrannies hoping that wingays take the estrogen pill and switch to linux instead of moving to a newer version like every release cycle. Muh year of the linux gayming desktop.
Give it a few months. Valve will push an update that kills Steam on W7 and the thirdies on Ganker will ape out again.
>Ganker
>not poojeets paid to push a narrative
Anon please don't be so gullible. MS want people to move away from 7 so they can harvest more data. Poojeets may be incompetent morons, but even they're capable of copypasting generic scaremonger shit. And they'll work for a bowl of rice a day because they think that's a lot.
I'm playing half life: opposing force, win7 pro. I even logged out and logged back in. I guess were winning? I don't really care. I have win10 on a usb drive somewhere in this desk I used to install for normie homosexuals who were worried their machine would stop working because bill said no more service packs lmao
I think I'll hold off on "upgrading" thx
Just gonna start pirating again exclusivity
i'm sure it won't take long before steam refuses to let you boot it up without an update which will brick you. idk why you would hold out so bad. you could even dualboot into 10 for gaming and boot into 7 when you're done if you're that autistic. just install 10 and run the shutupwin10 or whatever program that disables all the annoying crap and telemetry. it's a better os, things work more plug and play and it never bluescreens unlike 7. if you're so worried about muh security i assume you have like cp or some shit on your pc which why would you be connected to the internet at all on that pc

Frick off.
you're a total clown if you think every last bit of your personal information hasn't been stolen and sold 100 times over by 100 different companies including microsoft. you think win7 is safe? and win10 is where they started harvesting? lmao
This. I get Chinese scam phone calls every other day
>you're already giving them scraps with patched in win7 telemetry, just switch to hardcoded win1x telemetry so they can take everything
No. Sorry Rakeesh. No bonus rice for you today.
Absolute techlet.

i use windows 11 and i wish we'd go back to vista/7 era aero
I want software legacy explorer back, with modern CPUs it would be stupidly fast, instead we got an electron based explorer that runs like shit now.
I use 11, I would go back to 7 if it was useable for modern games.
>I would go back to 7 if it was useable for modern games.
Wow you can't play elden ring and fortnite, real loss right there
there's not a single sane person that would recommend Win11
>sharty gay
win 11 is older than you
i have never used steam.
you don't seriously use an app to load your games do you?
Sadly some games are steam only. Multiplayer ones especially. I try to avoid those but sometimes you have no other place to buy.
They changed the message, it will still work fine on windows 7. They just won't update for windows 7 anymore.
Literal nothing burger, RIP morons that downgraded to 10/11
wasn't this always the case? It literally tells you right there, they will stop mantaining support for win7/8 that means no new updates, steam will still work on those machines
Why are people thinking it will stop working altogether?
Valve's original notice was more ambiguous, which led to everyone thinking Steam would just outright not work on 7/8 machines. They later clarified the EoS situation but the damage was done
I just use SteamCMD. It works fine for the most part. I cant play Half Life or Counter Strike for whatever reason though
Windows 7 chads after seeing the message on Steam: HOLD!
Weak pussy b***hes that see the message on steam: oh my god, please help me mommy Gaben! I will do as you say, slide windows 11 into my gaping butthole! ^o^
Steam still works just fine on windows 7 and it always will, literal weak willed homosexuals got played.
>goyim you need to update your opperating system
>YOU HAVE TO
>WE WONT SUPPORT YOU IF YOU DONT
>REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE BABY DUCK REEEEEEEEEEE UPDOOT NOOOOW
damn, its good to be chad
hahaha so true
Just not gonna take it, s'all.
still works for me fine
i wont update steam as long as i can
Windows 10 and 11 are cancer, not changing my whole OS for nothing. Steam was never going to just stop working on 7 out of nowhere, fricking morons that fell for this are embarrassing.
Windows is cancer. Every version.
W7 user here. Already talked to my lawyer. Steam is going down, and not just on Steam.
Microsoft want to turn windows users into apple tards, upgrading to the new OS and drooling like cows in the field when told to do so. Whether it's better or not.
Fricking npcs do exactly as you're told, every time LOL
welp, time for linux
>less than 1% of the userbase
>demands everything to be catered for them
7gays are the trannies of operating systems
FACTS
>half of the user base for WIn10/11 are chinks and pajeets
I dunno if you wanna die on that hill
Sounds like /vpol/ in general
For the same reason New Zealand is ran by humans and not sheep, despite there being considerably more sheep in the country than humans. You don't cater to mindless cattle, even if they are the majority.
I'm running Windows 7, what's the issue?
>create virtual box instance
>install windows 10
>run steam within the VM
Poor Windows 7 friends. I came here to laugh at you.
why tho?
Steam still works
What are the differences between IoT Enterprise LTSC and just Enterprise LTSC?
IoT will be supported for longer
I guess I'll have to format at some point.
I'm stuck with a 2007 laptop that was "Certified for Vista"
Would it be wise to install 10 here?
Timmy doesn't punish you for using Windows 7
I like how Ganker make a big deal out of this nothingburger when win 7 users were like 0.001% out of all users in latest survey, and basically no one gives a shit about it.
good, hopefully all the russian, br, hispanics and other poorgays will be gatekept from PC gaming from now on
Why are trannies so upset that people still use Windows 7?
Almost nobody uses Windows 7, so it's funny when people come in these threads acting as if there is a huge group of people using it.
Other way around. 7gays are a minority upset that people are on a upgraded OS.
>Other way around
YWNBAW
It is paid poo shills reading off a script. Don't mind them.
because win7 is better out the box than Troonix could ever be
This place is unfortunately haunted by a linux discord of 5 trannies who constantly try to shill their defunct excuse of an os to anyone they can.
That's all there is to it, the rest is just usual shitposting.
no idea honestly
its either linux cult trying to recruit new members or pajeet gang trying to make everyone upgrade(TM)
I'm just here to laugh at W7schizos and Linux autists.
t. W10 enjoyer.
im still using win7
havent updated my steam in like 2 years
Microsoft REALLY wants you in their botnet
probably some pcbros that suck gaben's wiener every chance they get
Can you point out these upset people?
No upset people were ever pointed out and never will be lol
>upset
its laughing at poojeets crying and threatening to sue steam
>trannies: whoa look at me look at me I'm important my life matters!!!!
>win7lards: whoa look at me look at me I'm important my life matters!!!!
of course the OP would be an ESL
Finally you morons will stop spamming the catalog.
People who made the jump to linux, how was your first month or so using it? What type of problems did you encounter? Were there features that you missed from windows?
it was a nightmare
ensuring that Japanese fonts display correctly in Windows is changing one setting, in Mint it's at least 4 steps, if you miss one step, pic happens
The thing is, once you understand what you're actually doing to set regions properly in Linux, not only is it super easy to automate when you launch, but you can also do it without affecting the entire system (unlike Windows). I've found playing moonrunes games in Linux works well.
I'm still too moronic to get Don't Starve Together to play. I can't load into my hosted server, syncs with the clouds saves though so I have no idea. Hangs when I select the server and it says loading til it crashes 5 min later
I didn't have WINE and proton and shit before and it ran but stuttered, now I have all that done and it won't load into a game lol
Having a little trouble, that's all I can say
Stable. Switched from Win7 to openSUSE Tumbleweed like 2 years ago.
>installation was easy and quick
>all i had to do was download mpv Media Player, Steam as well as wine and wine/protontricks
>90%+ of the games i tried worked just out of the box
>getting FF XIV to run was annoying but that was less related to Linux and more about Square Enix account system being complete dogshit
>made me switch from Steam to the non-Steam version and everything there just worked with the xiv launcher
>even lets you install all those plugins easily if you really want to
Worst thing that happend was like a year after where i updated and that somehow bricked my system. But openSUSE allows you to rollback into the old kernel so i just did that and waited a week before trying to update again - after that everything was fine. Outside of that Chromium broke for like a week unless i reset it every time after system start - now it works again just fine. Not like i used it much to begin with as i am mostly a Firefox user tho.
As far as games go some older games were annoying to get running but some of those issues happend on my old Windows PC as well. Games like Battle for Procyon aren't made for modern mouses so you have to artifically decrease the dpi or the game is unplayable - I also had to use wine to frick with the registry cause the 3dmodels won't load otherwise - But again: This is an issue that also appears on modern Windows. I never played a lot of multiplayer games to begin with so things like drm/anticheat stopping me was never an issue for me.
I ran Mint on my laptop for a few months first just to get used to it. This was like two years back. The initial switch was alright actually. As soon as I tried to do things though like get an external drive mounting on its own or figuring out where I wanted to install standalones, it felt frustrating. After a month or two of digging in, I felt much more comfortable and ended up liking a lot of the ways Linux does things as opposed to Windows that I didn't really recognize before. Happy with Arch on my main desktop and laptop now. Never going back.
The thing I miss the most is VR (still sucks on Linux with little support, ALVR is helping but it's a mess) and straightforward game modding (feels like for most serious modding you need to relearn a lot each time).
Linux mint, no problems at all because i was already used to using terminals on Windows thanks to youtube-dl and gallery-dl.
Emulators worked out the box.
Getting Proton to work has been quite the experience though, i decided to dual boot LTSC instead, Switching OS with a SSD takes 3-5 seconds anyway.
Ricing it down was hard though.
>Getting Proton to work has been quite the experience though
Sure is hard to tick those two boxes in Steam, right?
Basically every game I had worked, and switch my secondary drive with all my legally backed up vidya to ext4.
"Worst" part was installing DXVK to both of my wine prefixes.
Proton, DXVK and VKD3D couldn't have come at a better time. Feels good man.
Win XP user here.
You guys know you can boot up games without a launcher like Steam.
Back in the days we called them programs.
How does it feel playing exclusively SkiFree for 30 years?
imagine using windows when linux exists
Lightbulbs are bloat
So how exactly is this working?
Because i see this as a test for an eventual EoS for EVERYONE. Can Win7 users still use games on their HDD? Can they even DL their games as THEY wish?
I feel like this shit shouldn't need Steam and be a backend DL because you have the licenses on your profile that say you can play the games still, you just can't access Steam itself.
They really should explain this shit throughly so everyone understands where we at, ya know?
comon Valve show some balls and make your program unsuable on the 25% of computers actually runing it!
Hey Gabe, what's the deal? This is the second day in a row where it's at 0. You lazy frick.
You can't even alienate your users competently.
sounds like you're gonna start owing Gabe days of usable Steam on Windows 8.1
FELLOW 8.1 FRIEND
Hello!
fact: 8.1 is okay, 8 was the actual dogshit OS
10 is simply yet another reskin of 8.1, 11 following suit (both unusable shit)
I may have to find or script an equivalent to the 8.1 start menu when I move to troonix
My Brothers, we're staying aboard until we go down with the ship!
It'll probably stop working in about a month or two after three more asswipe-tier UI updated to make it mismatch itself even more. SteamCMD may work for longer. I'd rather go without unguarded Chromium slop anyway.
They backed out of just blocking it day one (which is what happened when they dropped XP/Vista). The news post was updated to say that it's simply no longer supported now, so it'll keep working until Steam changes enough to break things.
>His Windows 7 computer hasn't slowed to a fricking CRAWL by now
HOW?
Why would it?
That will happen if I install w11 on my hardware, it will get sabotaged and burnt in two months.
Still works on my machineTM
I'm guessing they'll roll out an update soon that will break the interface or some shit
Hey linuxgays, if i make the jump over to mint will I still be able to run rpgmaker games? I can't give up my poorly made hgames.
RPGMaker games work, but if you try to upscale the window it uses some linear filter instead of nearest neighbor.
Just use gamescope to run it with nearest neighbor upscaling.
Isn't that an AMD hardware thing?
No, it's a valve program they use on the deck to make upscaling/downscaling games easier.
why the frick is this a thing
Literally just to frick your privacy in the ass, no other reason whatsoever.
Everyone at Microsoft deserves death.
i really hope someone takes Microsoft to supreme court because of this
they need to get nuked to death for advocating to mass hardware garbage
this is why the hobby is so fricking moronic, RGBmorons that love to consoom the latest shit made Microsoft just do shit like this
i wouldnt be surprised if there's a mass of e-waste and computer prices skyrocket due to TPM 2.0 requirement
next year is going to be so fricking awful for low to average computer rigs
i just can't imagine the prices that'll jump up because of customer demand and scalping
2023 was awful for high rigs too

Windows 7 has replaced Linux as the "I have never had sex" of computer operating systems.
when did normalgay culture turn into worshiping corportations?
When millennials grew up.
reminder that it's chromium that's dropping support for windows 7, not steam. steam uses chromium elements for its UI. valve has no reason itself to not support 7 for longer, but it's not viable to rewrite/rework all of steams u.i for .75% of the user base. this is actually one of the reasons valve has pushed for Linux for a while, so that something like this can't happen.
>sucking israeliteell's wiener for his laziness
Lol. Lmao.
do you ever stop thinking about israelites and wieners
Are you reciting what you say to yourself in the mirror in the morning?
No. Can't you follow conversations?
Why do you suck Gabe's wiener so bad bro?
but that's only for the shop right? a shop that's a hell to browse btw. the reduced steam mode should just keep working.
sure, but it's a liability from valves perspective. someone does continue to use it, some security vulnerability gets exploited, some moron on windows 7 loses and cries on the steam forum about losing his 3 f2p games and his 12 grand in cosmetics, yadda yadda. or just announce your dropping support. which is what they did.
chromium itself announced it dropped win 7 basically the same time. anything that integrated chromium is no longer supported on win 7. this also means Microsoft edge, amazon silk, and Samsung internet is no longer supported. but literally who is using those on windows 7.
>tfw don't have to bother with this shit since I don't use ~~*Steam*~~ and pirate/emulate all my games

Once in a year I might want to play a dota2 game, also the friend list.
Kek nice try homosexual b***h. What the frick do you think the v in Ganker stands for? You aren't going to get away with disrespecting steam here, we love Gankeralve.
since they anounced this when I have steam open the computer won't turn off screen when idle for a while.
anyone has noticed this?
