Move from one EOL OS to another. You do you, you’ll be fine until you aren’t.. I feel bad for anyone you convince that this is okay.

The fact is that there's no modern "simple" OS. I know. I've looked. The point-and-click simplicity of the 90s is quite plainly no longer out there. Even macOS, championed for its supposed simplicity, has grown a large amount of extraneous features and an outright hostility to those who try to use it in a nonstandard way. Coming to think of it, it wouldn't even matter. All of the OSes I've suggested struggle with the same issue as WinXP, which is that there's no modern browser support. SerenityOS seems to be the only one which is making any actual strides to fixing that with its Ladybug browser (which theoretically could be ported to the other OSes), but even that is a work-in-progress.

I don't know how one could possibly do a better job of conveying that they don't care and are just coming up with nonsense reasons to justify their bad computing habits. They're free to do whatever they want, just like us all.. but I still cringe at the idea that somebody who doesn't know better could read this article and think running Windows 7 now is a good idea.
