- peakaboo 5y agoHope you enjoy no privacy.. :) I think windows 7 was the last good version of windows.
- speeder 5y agoMy personal workstation is still Win7 (+ Garuda Linux). When it becomes impossible to use it with Win7 I still just stick with Linux, Windows 10 is really, really disappointing, and Win 11 is somehow, worse. Thing is, even MS is aware of that, helping developers port some AAA games to Win7 (but NOT Win8! for example Cyberpunk 2077 runs on Win7 and Win10, but not on Win8)
- JohnWhigham 5y agoPlanning to move to the LTSC branch so at least some of that telemetry will be minimized.
- dharmab 5y agoMy plan is to stay on W10 until the 2025 EOL approaches, then evaluate Linux+Proton. I suspect by 2025 I will mostly be playing games old enough to work fine on Proton and not interested in keeping up with every new release.
- liketochill 5y agoI think I will move back to Linux and put windows in a vm for any windows software I need to run. I did this in 2008-2012 and it worked well. Then you can easily deny network access to the VM except for whitelisted IPs. Since the vm is just for a specific task it doesn’t need to talk to many.
