i am incredibly confused by what you mean, Microsoft’s website clearly states the extended end of supoort for 7 was jan 2020 as stated here https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/lifecycle/products/windows-7, and besides, the marketshare for windows 7 was still growing in 2012

by any chance, do you mean a push over to windows 7 from something like xp? or are you talking about a push from 7 to 8, which never really happened as all the focus was on the impending 2014 windows xp end of support date

windows 7 reached extended eol in 2020, for security updates only, i believe that’s what they were talking about

if this isnt sarcasm, it all boils down to the user experience, most people just want to use an OS and run apps that they want to run as easily and quickly as possible

yeeeaaa, technically it should be as easy as installing wine and then just running exes, but wine doesnt install some fonts/dependencies by default (which is the whole reason lutris/bottles/proton exists) and may not have all the necesary api calls for some apps, pain in the arse, can we just get user friendly wine plzzz

hey fl studio runs fairly well in wine, ive done full projects with some third party plugins and it was usuable, only issue was lowered performance andvitall’s graphics were flickering

glad that this will be patched out in most phones because android is like windows/linux and can be patched indepenently by the os develop- oh wait nope its all down to manufacturers that only give 3 years of support leaving many phones vulnerable… sighhhhhhh

this feels like a fever dream

wow someone removed my wilma joke :(

Removed by mod

why dont we just put uefi on phones

among us

wilma balls fit in yo mouth hey gottem

what we really need on phones and by extension arm devices is a unified bootloader, something akin to a bios or uefi (which btw already exists on arm but manufacturers are choosing to not go with it for some reason)

it looks hella fun though lol, got to 15% in practice

yooo thats sick, i want to complete this as my first extreme but idk if ill be able to do it lol, my hardest is nine circles

homer? i hardly know 'er

do plugins that run on wine count?

They are extremely similar to the point that I think they are edging

try using pcem or other kinds of virtualisation

cant you just run the installer with wine which is like 2000% easier?
