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.

Linux gaming is good now.
