On one hand I'd suppose I would likely also have support issues with a 12 yr old laptop on #Windows. I mean it would be unfair for #nvidia to still support a chipset that launched for #WindowsXP / #Windows7 on a modern Windows11 kernel.
But recompiling and then _debugging_ a failed kernel build is asking a bit much of the average user.

installiert und dort alles eingerichtet. Später bin ich mit dieser Installation von der HDD auf eine SSD mittels eines Live #Linux 
gewechselt. Und seit dem: Kein Bedürfnis zu #Windows 
zurück zu wechseln. Für den Job habe ich aber noch einen kleinen PC mit #Windows11 , falls ich etwas probieren muss.@xgebi granted, I can't do Windows:
Espechally since the last good got axed in 2019 and aside from #Windows7 #64bit everything after #WindowsXP was a #downgrade!
It's about to be #patchtuesday but this one is bittersweet. This month will be my last patching my own personal #windows installations. With the upcoming end to #windows10 support, I'm migrating to #linux .
This month marks the end of my continuous personal Windows use dating back to #windows3 in 1990, 35 years ago. I went to work at #microsoft just as #windowsforworkgroups 3.11 went into beta in 1993. Through a very random set of circumstances, I gave the first press demo of #windows95, to the tech reporter for the #houstonchronicle . Years later, I managed a wonderful team for #windows7 security assurance, and I couldn't be prouder of what we accomplished.
My relationship with Windows runs deep, to say the least. But the time has come for that relationship to end. I will migrate my main computer in about a week.

I'm moving and just discovered I have a Windows 7 OEM System Builder Pack (Intended for system builders ONLY). This place is full of nerds, maybe someone wants it? The package doesn't appear to have been opened. I have no memory of when, how, or why I acquired this. I'm not even 100% sure what the CD does.
Anyway. First serious inquiry takes it. I can ship anywhere in the US or Canada. For free. Please?
the following is a brief description of a subreddit that I created today. I have included the accessibility and blind tags because MSN Messenger is extremely accessible with screen readers and I believe that more blind people should know about this. I believe AIM may work as well, but I haven't tried it. Obviously, it works for the sighted as well.
"Hi, and welcome to Escargot Family! This is a place where users of Escargot and Nina services (MSn/Windows Live Messenger, AIM/AOL, ICQ etc.) can share usernames and get to know each other. Please join if over eighteen. Note that this is not an official subreddit by Escargot/Nina."

@rootcompute a lot of people agree that #WindowsXP is #FrutigerAero as per colour pallete, theme and direction at user-friendlyness.
But I guess that's a debate for #art #historians to conclude.
