It's kinda wild that people put up with this stuff, I've had windows update permanently disabled since 7 or maybe even XP. It is exceedingly rare that anything good ever comes of it. I just can't imagine a world where my computer decides to interrupt me, or where I want to use it and it's inoperable. It's just so crazy that people put up with having tools in their lives that they can't rely on.
Computers being "out of date" doesn't stop them from working, it's most often updates that break things.
- brokenmachine 5y agoI'm still on Windows 7 at home, but it's getting harder and harder to hold out. 99% of things work as expected though. I'll probably move to linux soon.
- thot_experiment 5y agoFWIW Windows 10 LTSC is pretty solid, it removes most of the cruft and if you install it airgapped and disable all the updates/automatic driver installs and security crap before you let it online it's really a pretty solid operating system.
