Yes, I'm upset too, and it's always been that way. Are there any others missing Windows 10?

I’d revisit 98se if I thought it was the best we could achieve, even though it felt limited. We need to keep moving forward. I’ve started understanding W7, accepted defeat, and shifted to W10—it didn’t suit me, but it was what we had. Then came W11! I won’t go through everything, but it’s clear I miss W10 and would return to it. That’s the truth.
In short, I’d use a tool like Linux if possible, but right now I’m stuck with one PC and long sessions of command lines. It’s frustrating, but I’ll keep trying.
Linux generally performs well most of the time. However, compatibility with hardware can be an issue for some manufacturers. I remember switching to Linux after my installation failed; it took me eight months to reinstall while in college. In 2019 a driver update affected my NIC, and automatic updates caused problems at odd hours, leading to issues across three machines within a week. Eventually, I decided to try Linux temporarily. When the pandemic arrived and stimulus payments came, I upgraded to a MacBook Pro and liked macOS, which now runs on most of my systems. I still use Windows on my gaming rig occasionally, but it hasn’t been used in about a month. Honestly, if I build a new gaming PC, Linux seems like a likely choice. I’m thinking about upgrading to a Mac mini soon, hoping for the M5 refresh.
This seems like a lighthearted take on your concerns. It sounds like someone is joking about the situation and trying to lighten the mood. The tone suggests they're not taking things too seriously and are just sharing a playful perspective.
I'm thinking about Windows 10 IoT Enterprise 2021 LTSC. It offers support up to 2027, including driver support from NVIDIA and similar packages. Anyone have hands-on experience with it? Also, how flexible is the ISO for adding drivers or updating features?
Uncertain about the thread's purpose? Just pick your favorite OS. With LTSC you can extend your time and reassess later. If you dislike MS overall, consider Mac or Linux. Even an old PC works fine—your W98SE is welcome. No one is holding you back. Whenever Microsoft releases a new system, many quickly embrace the previous version. Yet those who disliked it at launch still love it now. If you share the real downsides of W11, someone here might suggest quick fixes. For absolute privacy, neither Mac nor MS can guarantee that. Face it or switch to Linux—just avoid Google, social media, and smartphones on it.
Hey there! I see you're passionate about keeping everything up to date. But let's be real—your computer won't crash just because you haven't installed the latest updates. Most browsers don't need daily patches, and browsers are actually a big part of security. The real risks come from specific threats, not from routine maintenance. You're right that some software like Defender or games might benefit from occasional updates, but for most users, sticking with what works is the smart choice. Stick to what you know, and you'll stay safe without the hassle.
When told Windows 10 would no longer receive support, I was only aware of what I needed to know about PCs. Switching to Windows 11 felt like a smart move because it was free. At around sixty, I don’t really care about the newest trends or features—just making sure things run smoothly with the basics. If I’d known about LTSC earlier, I might have chosen that path sooner. Regarding how to learn things faster these days, it seems the best way is to spark interest and keep the information handy. I’ll explore LTSC later if possible, but I’ll wait until I understand how my software licenses might change. Thanks for the help. Pinned.
