I agree, that was the best way to use 7. I moved to 7 from Win2k pro and there were changes I liked and changes I didn't, but it was still a solid OS. I'm glad

I agree, that was the best way to use 7. I moved to 7 from Win2k pro and there were changes I liked and changes I didn't, but it was still a solid OS. I'm glad that gaming on linux is improving all the time. At this point I'm almost able to move away from windows entirely. There are plenty of games that will be fine on linux/consoles/steamdeck. I'll probably always keep a couple windows systems around running 7 or XP (entirely offline) for older games, but I'll never buy a system with windows 10 or 11 on it and I don't see MS ever abandoning their ways and respecting the users of their software at some point in the future. I expect they'll just keep accelerating as they nosedive.
