    The system requirements are like any system from the last 6 years. Are people really using computers this old? I hear a bunch of people commenting about businesses but at least at the companies I worked at we never had machines older than 4 years old. Seems kind of overblown.

    Oh yea and bring on the down votes. I understand this is Lemmy and anything that challenges the hatred of Windows is met with extreme disagreement.

      These downvotes are not hatred of Windows, it’s the weird statement of “Are people really using computers this old?”. Like yes, a lot of people don’t need a computer, don’t want a new computer, or don’t have the money for a new computer. 6 years ago isn’t to long even, I built my PC around when Ryzen released(2017), it still works great.

      Dude…I was at a grain terminal last month and they’re still using Windows 3.1. Computers haven’t been “new” technology in so long rednecks keep old systems going.

      Yes I am using as my daily driver an old box with an i7-3770. Truthfully want to upgrade, however it just hasn’t missed a beat and does everything I need. Wouldn’t mind some USB c ports though…

      I believe lots of small businesses are not that concern with security so just run with old boxes for a long long time
