Comment on Steam has now officially stopped supporting Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 8.1.
JTskulk@lemmy.world 5 months agoIt 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.

I did ignore it, literally didn’t read it. You have to run code or data from untrusted sources (or be available on a network) to get exploited, and I know that computer wasn’t doing anything high bandwidth otherwise it would affect my gaming. I literally only played games on the install for a couple hours a night and my browser and other software was up to date.
