Steam no longer supports Windows 7, 8, and 8.1::Customers sticking to the good-old (and dead) Windows 7 now have one more reason to ditch the operating system: as of January 1, 2024, Steam no longer supports Windows 7, 8, and 8.1.

I feel like this group of people are the kind that would already be on Linux though.

I have plenty of Linux machines and used Unix since before Linux existed. But when I want to play WINDOWS games and dont want to deal with wine hassles I need a windows box.

Wine hassles? It's not 2013 anymore. Proton sets up a prefix on first run and you don't think about it.

You'll probably even have more issues on Win7 for gaming than on Linux lol

No DX12 support, questionable driver support from AMD/Nvidia, Win7 CPU scheduling not playing well with plenty of recent CPUs, etc.

Linux gaming is good now.
