    There hasn't been a single new PC-exclusive game worth playing since 2019, and with the current climate in the video game industry I do not see that changing.
    So I will continue to be happy with my copy of Windows 7, thanks.

      Why not just switch to one of the OOTB linux like Nobara or Pop! More or less the same compatibility but better security and more up to date shit

      You aren't seeing the signs then. The Video Game industry is collapsing under its own weight. The overhead and marketing costs for any AAA are basically no longer profitable. The industry as a whole hasn't been profitable for years actually. Studios have survived on speculator investor money then on woke hedge funds investing to promote the communist agenda. Both of those wells have dried up. The average normie has basically moved on the mobileslop, not just because quality has fallen off a cliff but nobody has money to buy full priced games anymore. The point being, consoles are on their way out because they cannot survive in this industry environment and economic freefall. Consoles were never profitable except for the PS2 and every other Nintendo console, they were always vehicles for Tech Giants to collect consumer data, which was where the big money was at. And now the marketing and advertising industry collapsed and that is no longer profitable. Consoles will not survive this generation, except Nintendo, because they were satisfied with a niche audience and never attempted to become a multi-media Tech company and always remained a family entertainment group. Soon though, consoles will be too much of a financial burden for Microsoft and Sony and will be dropped. Then all that's left will be mobile, Nintendo's quirky niche console and PC gaming. Then there will be a PC renaissance once big studios have all collapsed along with the next stock market crash. And it will be glorious. Give it 4-5 years.

      I've never had problems like this on Windows. Linux is nowhere near stable or usable enough for relaxed use. I don't want to have to do maintenance on my own computer. And mind you, I'm using a """"stable"""" distro, stable my ass. I can't imagine what it would be like for someone who doesn't manage Linux systems as a job, what a fricking pain in the ass it is.

        Anon, don't use Debian for gaming, the better distros are Arch, or EndeavourOS if you want a graphic installer, PopOS if you want something like Ubuntu/Debian and Fedora/Nobara.

        Complain to the GNOME foundations, they don't give a shit about gaming.

        That's typical Nvidia shaenigans, and Debian slow updating cycles makes things worse.

        ExplorerPatcher complements OpenShell, the latter gives you a good start menu, the former gives you back the good Windows 10 taskbar.

        Problem is Microsoft are removing the Win 10 taskbar from Win 11 in the 24H2 update which ExplorerPatcher won't be able to work around. The only solution will be to un-remove said taskbar somehow or to make an open alternative akin to OpenShell.

        The only games I have a hard time getting working are ones that were based on proprietary hardware back then, like 3dFX games from the late 90's, or very specific games from 2003-2005 that relied on some NVidia tech that was discontinued. Everything else seems to work just fine. I just played Silent Hill 3 from 2003, and despite being a Konami PC port, it just installs and runs on Windows 11 with no patching or modding.

            The feature will be available on all Windows PCs, but will only work if you have the latest CPUs that have the NPU cores, they haven't even been released yet, and when they do, it's mostly on Laptops and Surface devices, so you're "safe" from the AI stuff until maybe 1 more CPU generation or until you upgrade to those models.

                I believe there will be custom AIs that you'll be able to install on your computer. Windows is just the first company that is giving you a free one to use with direct OS integration, but as the technology advances, you should be able to just install a new AI and disable the one on Windows fairly easy just like drivers and firmware or antivirus programs.

      Sorry xir. It uses the TMP chip and the only way to shut it off is to shut that off, which makes W11 not run because it requires it to be on. I hope you like Microsoft eventually getting compromised, which will allow hackers a free back door into every single computer running Windows 11, because the chips have kernal level access which can't be patched. NSA wanted it for themselves and will be super pissed when it's used against them because of Microsoft incompetence.

    Windows Explorer in 11 also loves to thrash my hard drive any time I try saving an image to my random image folder. It's fricking great having my PC become unusable for 20s.

            It's fascinating how one can always distinguish an Indian from braidnead responses like this one. it's like their whole race is mentally undeveloped and they're depraved the ability to communicate on our level of banter. they're incapable of having a normal talk, and it transcends simple language barriers.

            It's the difference between the sounds made by a seagull and a raven. a raven is smart and can mimic voices much like a parrot. it can even choose to mimic a seagull in mockery, just like Anons making comments like "good morning saar" and "do not redeem!". but a seagull has no choice but to sound like a moronic foghorn, it lacks even the awareness to know it sounds like a moronic foghorn. and that's your average Indian with less articulance than a caveman and complete numbness to embarrassment. he's like a seagull that sits on a powerline next to a bunch of ravens thinking it can just fit in. with no regard for their seadock smell, their foghorn voice or that they look and act nothing like a raven. an Indian cannot imagine that he's out of place. it goes beyond arrogance, his brain has not developed the ability.

    I will never understand Ganker obsession with not upgrading to 11. It works great and O&OShutUp10 will shut off all the spyware.

      Real answer is because the system requirements are higher. Windows 10 is basically Windows 7 2.0, but for Windows 11 you need a more cores on your CPU and a better GPU, but the main reason is that it's just too similar to 10 to justify the switch.

      It's the polar opposite, pajeet.
      Wee11 is the best advertisement for Linux since the death-blow of W7.

      I wish I could like Linux, I really do, and my Debian 12 feels alright to use but I can't help but feel like it could fall apart at the wheels at any time. It takes so much finagling to get something workable

      I've never had problems like this on Windows. Linux is nowhere near stable or usable enough for relaxed use. I don't want to have to do maintenance on my own computer. And mind you, I'm using a """"stable"""" distro, stable my ass. I can't imagine what it would be like for someone who doesn't manage Linux systems as a job, what a fricking pain in the ass it is. I wish Windows 11 wasn't so awful, I'd go back in a heartbeat

      You could just add yet another drive and install Linux on the new drive if you have an empty SATA port somewhere. That would be the easiest way to do this. Alternatively, you could sort through the files on one drive and copy them to your other drives so you can either replace or partition that drive and install the new OS there.
      Now, if you don't have any ports or docks open for expansion and you don't want to sort through your files at all, you could also install the OS on a new partition as in dual boot. There are many ways to do this but in this situation I think I'd use Windows Disk Management to shrink one of your current partitions, preferably picking a driver that doesn't have a Windows install on it; then you should be able to format the empty space on that drive and install a new OS there. This is an oversimplification, but you get the idea.

The only time they care about wrongthink is when they need to show public support about it, like Pride month and so on. They would rather sell your data to advertisers than to investigate your masturbation sessions.
      The funny thing is that they probably suspect more about Linux users than Windows users. Who do you think is easier to catch? A random person in a sea of millions of Windows devices, or a person that is using Linux trying to hide his activities?
      They willingly removed themselves from the pack and put a big glowing sign that says " Do not watch me I'm just trying to hide from you whatever I'm doing in secret"

          My point is that you don't really need Windows to onions on people, mobile phones already do it miles better, why aren't you boycotting Samsung or Apple? What about your home router that tracks every single address you visit and sends it to your ISP? Isn't that a much bigger concern?

      Windows ARM will probably have the same deal as Apple M1/M2 where they can still execute x64/x86 programs through a translation layer with a performance hit.

      Moving on from x86 to full ARM is probably the best thing that can happen for computing, making way for a much broader cross-OS and cross-device compatibility whilst reducing performance costs.

    Right now I don't care that much over this ragebait. The newest game in my Steam library is Resident Evil Village. My backlog goes back decades, and I spend a lot more time with ROMs and ISOs than I do worrying about how Lesbian Desert Sandbox will perform when it drops.

    I have Windows 11. It does a lot of shit I don't like, such as hiding basic functions under 'More Options' in the right-click menu or annoying me about Co-Pilot coming out. But it has never blue screened on me. It does what I ask it to do. It runs on my hardware. If it ever pisses me off enough, I have the option of switching to Linux.

                Well just because it didn't work out so well didn't mean that the intentions weren't admirable. Most Communists besides tankies have good intentions and I have nothing against them except I think their thinking is too utopian and the ideology doesn't work out better than capitalism in real life. Not tankies, that's the qualification I put first.

                given that the most identifiable group of commies in modern history are WW2 russia and they were majority israeli in leadership, I think you are wrong and they did not actually have good intentions and were just using "muh collective" as a shield while they collected all the wealth for themselves.

      11 LTSC is coming next Q of this year, wait and see what it does, but generally with LTSC releases that sort of thing is illegal and the moment they bring some AI recording into a court case and leak that they are doing it despite claims that they won't they will get hit by major lawsuits from every company on the planet. LTSC is for sensitive business information storage devices and kiosks, they are required to turn off anything like that by law, and while I'm sure they leave some backdoors in anyway, if they actually utilize any of them and publicly acknowledge that they have lied about their claim, they will get sued.

    the funniest part is this guy still thinks people are actually using linux
    just pointing oout the positives is enough to make him think people are using it; you don't need to use something in order to know enough about it to be informed. did you not take a college course on it like the rest of us?

    Operating systems don't matter outside of the software they are compatible with. In general, the next-from-newest Windows will be the best in this regard. Linux is actually okay, but its cultists oversell how okay it is.

      my major problem with linux when I tried it in 2020 was the lack of proprietary NVIDIA drivers, which is an NVIDIA problem not a linux problem. without the drivers there was a bug that was unfixable, you had to set "prefer maximum performance" in the nvidia control panel or the system would hang until you restarted it about once a day, something about the GPU forcing the CPU into some sort of 0cycle core pattern that's only supposed to happen during hibernation and the CPU being unable to leave the cycle and in that cycle not having enough power throughput to run an OS.

            huh?
            the system is on a mirrored sata SSD pair and could honestly be run off a flash drive
            the 4TB nvme is for write cache and easily replaceable, torrenting directly to the array kills performance

                i know it's anecdotal but I work in IT and have yet to see a failed SSD, but I've had dozens of HDD failures
                also it's really not required, I just wanted to see how much I could fit in this poweredge t310

                do you understand exactly how fricking much 1000+TBW is? you can download 1000 1.4GB 1080P anime episodes and that is barely 0.1% of the lifespan of the SSD.

                i just said it's anecdotal, i know they don't last forever, i've just never personally seen one fail, and I have seen them consistently outlive HDDs
                even then if the memory itself hits the write limit it should be readable still, though i've heard controller failures are more likely to kill a drive than the write limit

                yeah, as long as the controller doesn't fail it's still readable for a little while.

                >they would die
                they die thanks to ~~*pharma*~~ with their "chemo therapies" which is literally poison, which fricks up your body.

                I am staunchly anti-vax and a pureblood, you are ranting at someone who agrees with you. I don't even consider the vax to be medication so that's not even under the blanket term "meds". medication is the progress of humanity and frick you for trying to take it from people.

                I was born with a permanent chemical imbalance in my body. nothing can be done to fix it, the only way it will stabilize is with outside influence. I hope you get a thyroid issue just so you can learn how futile your home remedies really are in the face of the medication that will make your life stop being permanently miserable.

    I don't see the problem. I haven't played a game made in the last 10 years cause all AAA games are trash woke shit. I already have my computer running Linux now. Anyone who let's Microsoft literally record their every action on their computer doesn't deserve the right of freedom. You deserve to be ruled over with an iron fist.

        github is all open source and heavily peer reviewed. you underestimate how sweaty the nerds on that fricking site are, anything with over 100 users has been torn down and combed through for scripts and shit and is immediately reported.

        I dunno what kind of bar you set for yourself , but RE4, FF7 rebirth was fun (minus the story) and Stellar blade was also fun (minus the story). Haven was another hidden gem, Sifu etc etc
        You're free to disagree but there's been enjoyable games in the 2020s for tons of people
