That’s no guarantee. It‘s naïve. And Steam stopped working on Windows 7 machines, so—

Microsoft is generally far more savage about dropped OS support than Linux. The latter undergoes fewer forced overhauls.

You're trolling, right? It wasn't exactly up to Valve lmao. The world stopped supporting Windows 7.

Plenty of software still supports Windows 7. So literally not everything they made still works, there is no guarantee.
