Comment on Steam has now officially stopped supporting Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 8.1.
BaardFigur@lemmy.world 10 months agoDude, Windows 7/8/8.1 hasn’t been supported by Microsoft for quite a while now. No reason to support the platform, if Microsoft doesn’t

Didn’t stop me from gaming on 7 either. I was only gaming on my windows partition so I didn’t worry too much about vulns. Nothing in 8-11 interests me so I thought I’d try all my gaming in Linux and have been blown away by how good it is.

The cracks were probably because you were part of a botnet for using an insecure OS for years lol

It was mainly due to qt dropping support (used by OBS, I could have stayed on an old version) and Steam for the same reason but Chromium. I probably could have kept my old computer and stayed on 7 for longer if I wanted to.

Nice job ignoring the very real possibility that your computer has been part of a botnet for years. The botnet thanks you for your service.
