It's probably because you're a NEET who can't afford a real OS
Because it just werks, and if you are comfortable with spying there is barely any reason to change for most users

Dunno
games are life. No games on linux

Windows 7 is solid. Everything just works and isn't a total fucking chore to use.
One example:
-Pinning apps to the taskbar in Windows 7 is as easy as just dragging the shortcut onto it. You can drag the shortcut from ANYWHERE, the desktop, start menu, window explorer no problem.
-On several DE's of Linux I've played with recently, it's a tedious process of adding a Launcher applet, configuring the Launcher applet to the file path of the app you want to pin on the taskbar, then go into panel edit mode and drag it into position.
That's just one example. As you're setting up a Linux desktop, it's a full day endeavor of this type of BULLSHIT.
Now when I look back at Windows 7's design it looks like some shitty ricer theme you'd download from Deviantart
Because it's light af and has minimal botnet if you aren't completely retarded.
this, the only thing I would take from win10 would be the improved task manager and the UI (sans metro elements)
As opposed to LE MINIMALISTIC material design copycat in Windows 8/10?
>she fell for the qbittorrent meme
why haven't u installed os x
Because it werks. I see no reason to use win 10 trash.
>not 8.1
8 and 8.1 are horrendous, there is so much broken shit.
you obviously haven't used it much

Listen OP, talk to your waifu, explain that you want to move to Linux and eventually invite her to follow you. If she doesn't it's not a big deal, you are better without her, also, I've heard Linux has the waifus with the biggest tits :^)
8.1 literally looks like 7 just with a more bloated looking interface.
qbitcuck
S-Sorry Maki
I used it enough.
My younger brother's computer had Windows 8 and just navigating it was a chore. The Metro start menu was tedious and I found myself just using the Search feature because manually navigating to Control Panel-type settings or even My Computer was nearly impossible.
Then I updated it to 8.1 and shit like simple shit like mouse driver software wouldn't boot. Stuff just stopped working, so I said "fuck it" and went wholehog and updated all the way to Windows 10. Everything just began working in Windows 10
Minimalistic designs are beautiful and easy on the eyes, glossy/transparent trash never should have existed.
Because of Nanami

I agree, Windows 7 is the last good Windows

i really wish these existed for gnu/linux.
B-but they got cooties!

guys, I love my win7 to death
how much longer realistically can I stay on it before I REALLY have to move onto 10?
Ask that after the end of the extended support.
>"simplicity is the ultimate sophistication"
>uses systemd
About 4 years
it's not
>ultimate cringe
Perhaps because it just works®™
Win 7 is 7 years old... will Microsoft extend support for at least 4 years now?
For the millionth time, 7 gets security updates until mid-2020
Until next month when Microsoft change the update service or something like that
they're just not as good as the windows ones...
can you give me your wall paper i want it please.
Epic, wish I could upvote your post.
...
For me it's the ability to disable Aero/DWM.
Otherwise I'd be using 8.1 right now.
Seek help
for what
...
Because you missed the upgrade deadline. Also check my 10.
>Then I updated it to 8.1 and shit like simple shit like mouse driver software wouldn't boot.
Had this problem too with the Synaptics touchpad on a T440p. Installed 10 on it and it still wouldn't work. What actually worked was installing generic drivers from Synaptic.
Delete this, do not sexualize Nanami

No you can't. You don't have access to their source code. You have no clue what is coded into Windows. You never will either. You just know about the telemetry addition.
Until there's a trusted third party audit on any piece of open source software, it's as botnet as anything from Microsoft.
There is something called reverse engineering freetard, it's not like compiled binaries were some alien languages, you can easily know what's going on
which distros dont use systemd?
She is lewd
I expect a GNU/Linux girl to be much more intellectual
Because Microsoft tried and failed to push people to their own mobile OS's by forcing desktop users to use it, rather than actually making a better desktop OS.
because you're xenophobic
>anime
But she's officially sanctioned by Microsoft.
Windows is quite cool, without problems. But it's a spyware, so fuck it.
Other than DX12 for gaymen, i don't see any other reason to go Win10, i hope Vulkan gets more attention
>>bloated
Name a version of Windows after XP that isn't.
because ur a dumb weeb faggot just go download some obscure linux trash and throw up a playlist of some irrelevant songs that only you have ever downloaded from the internet on your pointless desktop completely void of anything because you do no work or anything of importance
Depends which OS you get. For example, on Zorin, the program needs to be open, and you can right click it and select 'pin application'.
On Elementary, you can right click, and add it to the doc, even for programs that aren't open.
In short, it depends which distro you get as to how it works. If you don't do much but listen to music, videos, documents, etc on you pc, and what a pretty decent layout, use Elementary. You can also use any of the top ten distros on Distrowatch. Most of them are even simpler then windows to install, as there are no drivers/etc. to install.
No games on Linux
You like black cock.

Yeah it's really hard to leave windows 7 after all of customizations.
you can do all that easily with mate

poo girl and poo OS
Yuru Yuri good taste my friend
Pretty easy to keep tabs on your outgoing data, idiot
Why are wintards so fucking retarded?
Because it doesn't have program-breaking bugs like Windows 10+Anniversary.
I want to pull my fucking hair out jesus christ. I'm reverting to 8.1 when I need to inevitably reinstall this bullshit.
I don't get why people feel safe posting Loli if they live in the US.
It's not exactly illegal but it's not legal either. It's in some sort of gray zone.
There isn't any nudity, so it's safe.
Nice try mods
Proper DirectDraw support for 10+ years old games.
How can you live without it?
Because its the last good gaymen OS
Not the OP but... tried it, didnt convince me, at all.
To leave 7 or leave Windows entirely?
>7
It's the last good Windows
>Windows Entirely
Baby duck syndrome and not wanting to learn a new system.
Try installing Arch without a fucking Internet connection. Waste of fucking time, never again.
not op, utorrent is kill, need an open source secure maintained gui client, what's so wrong with qb?
qstalled
madobe a waifu
It isn't. I recently switched to Linux just fine.
Is learning that new system worth it? So much effort for what?
its hard cause of your childish addiction to silly gaming. Do you even play anymore? if yes then just play and dont think too much..then have a wank and sleep.
if you think that using a computer is putting in effort, just kys now.
Life will be an uphill battle from now on.
This the best you can come up with? Expected as much.
I don't know op.
WHY DON'T YOU FUCKING TELL US
Considering you are the one having the problem
Wine > Win10
cinnamon does drag and drop with applications, openbox with tint2 wasn't hard to configure either
Cause Windows 10 is Cancerblows 10
how did you change the default white color of the windows to grey?
once a normie, always a normie.
just find "color setting", click on grey, and figure out those buttons
>not 10
Why the fuck aren't you just using wireshark

I always use the search feature in windows because I don't like the start menu.
Gentoo.
>Linux 3.16
How do you even use it? I wouldn't be able to use my graphic tablet with it.
Not him but the no games argument is not true anymore. Windows is the best os for gaming mostly due to most game developers are trained into developing for it with microsoft's closed APIs, so the simple process of porting a game that was developed for windows to any other platform will affect negatively the performance of the game. This with the fact that the marketshare is small compared to windows there's hardly an incentive at the moment to optimize for linux, making look as if the platform were worse for games than windows when in fact to flip the situation you'll need to change the idiosyncrasies on the industry itself.
The fact though is that the situation on linux is not nearly the same than two years ago and now those who prefer linux over windows now can play games on it, helping to break the vicious circle, but still there's a lot of things to do for linux to compete in the gaming side. I anyone wants for this to change i recommend to play the games you can on linux when possible and ask for linux ports.
I notice some people doesn't want's for this to happen but if that the case let me ask (not directed specifically to the person i'm replying): how are any of you benefited in a meaningful way with the current situation? because i consider that keeping the statu quo just to have a tool to win an argument on what OS is better is not a meaningful thing. how having less options and practically being locked to MS products benefits you?

win7 has been my favorite since it came out, ive always wanted to get into using a good linux distro but i never give them enough time before getting impatient. maybe one day ill make the switch.
Windows 10 can be easily debotnetted using w10privacy so I'm not sure why people don't use it.
If you don't like how it looks, then rice it.
