Windows 7 for lyfe! permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] jjlinux@lemmy.zip 2 points 9 months ago (2 children) I think W7 would be the very last option, everything after that has been shit, and getting worse. I still prefer XP though, except for the hideous UI. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] pastermil@sh.itjust.works 3 points 9 months ago (1 child) I thought it's the best version out there. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] jjlinux@lemmy.zip 3 points 9 months ago Don't get me wrong, it is (Jesus, I have a hard time using this word for ANY Winblows, but I can't think of anything else before coffee) good, no real complains other than the ridiculous resources usage, and the UI certainly beats the hell out of XP. But resources use is my issue, unnecessary background shit running all the time, whereas XP remained way lighter. As I said, anything after 7 has been consistent crap and has just been getting exponentially worse. Anyway, Linux and Gnu has been my life for way too long now. I only know about Winblows issues because I come in here and hear my circle of acquaintances complaining, which only makes me laugh because they choose to keep dealing with that crap when there are so many options. permalink fedilink source parent
