I enjoyed my time with Windows 7. I even remember the Windows 7 launch party marketing. Never upgraded to 10, certainly not upgrading to 11. Happy with my adventures in Linux.

10 is way better for games than 7. I’m never touching 11, it’s awful. 10 is great when you debloat, use OOSU10, and use ClassicShell (or the updated version I cannot remember the name of) to bring back the 7-style start menu.

I’m excited to make Linux my daily driver for most things, but for a heavy game-player, a backup Win10 install is a must. Especially for VR.

I loved Windows 7. The reason I ended up switching to Linux is (ironically) that I felt like the KDE desktop was closer to Windows 7 than the tiled start menu that Windows 8.0 had.

I remember having Windows 7 Beta. Good times
