Anything banned in China has some credibility with me, but it stopped receiving CPU compatibility updates in 2016 and after multiple extensions the last supported versions hit EOL in 2023.
Eh, that’s fine. I get that people are worried about EOL systems but, honestly, most of the time the concern seems overblown to me: it’s not like you are going to run these Windowses on baremetal and plugged directly into the root DNS gigabit ethernet line. When it comes to Windows, you run them in a VM and under a battery of safety measures such as firewalls and snapshots to begin with. And, once you’re bored with it, you return to Linux and the AUR.
