the ones not concerned with security yes

not really. Not all machines need to be win10 for security purposes lol

plus if the new update is fucked, that's a bigger security issue

well if thats how you want to look at things, then i hate to break it to you but everything is a security loophole

as for the code they want to revoke, this will mean that the os itself would be crippled

prior versions are still available

if they do take back their code they help contribute, it wont just open up security holes, it would also make certain things what we generally depend upon upright mia

this dispute is whether or not CoCLinux can keep the shit

well heres the dilema for older versions

not whether or not every version of Linux gets taken apart

it doesnt work like that

certain distros will need certain variants of certain dependencies

if they dont have what its looking for, it wont work

you can possibly patch it to work with a newer variant but thats just not feasible

yes, and you just revert to a prior version of the already functioning distro

the new version will be fucked, old version is fine

um

no

all versions are fucked for a different reason

how long will it take for a perfectly functioning older build to be fucked?

wut, companies *already installed them*
you can revert *in linux* to an older build ez

if the new one is buggered

or at all

you have to reinstall the whole damn thing

>you might have to reinstall the whole thing because something happened outside of your PC
wot

listen shithead, you need to see it how we represented it to you, not how you want things to be

comform to our ideas and keep your ass backwards ideas out of it

"you need to see it in this very specific way that doesnt make sense, or I'll insult you"
que?

>Microsoft releases new FUCKED PATCH
>Everyone installs it
>Oh no, this is fucked
>Everyone reverts back to prior patch, which was already installed, which backups exist for

>someone makes fucked Linux commit
>everyone installs it
>oh no, this is fucked
>apparently we have to reinstall the whole thing now

I dont understand

Are we talking past each other here? Is there a separate issue you're trying to describe

dont talk again about this until you can go do your fucking research before spewing more of your bs out of your ass

that I'm somehow mistaking for this one?

@scaryred24 if i have an image of a machine before the fucked up version of linux was released, its impossible to fuck up that image

okay thats perfect

but how long will it takes before something gets buggered with that?

not even just consciously saved images. CentOS SAVES PRIOR UPDATES and you can revert to them at any point in time
**automatically**

if it wasn't buggered when you made the image, then never

you cant remotely fuck data without accessing the specific machine and fucking with the image lol

well heres where im kinda against using backup like that

so unless SJWs are going to hack America and fuck up everyone's backups, this isnt a thing

you are just archiving a 1:1 image of the os that was snapshoted at a very specific date
