Stuck on Windows 7. What should I remedy this with?

i'm still using vista

Like, I don't have a problem with windows. Will most likely keep it around for video games. I'm just curious to try out linux outside of ubuntu.

8.1 classic shell
7 is a laggy piece of shite

The only time I have any issues with 7 is if I keep the aero theme on.

install gentoo

Upgrade to 10 for free by enabling assistive technology.

windows 10 mess literally makes me switch to mac os

OP here, I realize asking people for what they prefer is not a good way to go about things.

Decided to not be lazy and download VirtualBox and just go wild with everything and see what sticks.

Someday I'll install gentoo, but my body is not ready to embrace the meme.
