• OS

  • Windows 7 PC causing eye strain out of the blue ... any ideas?

moonpie I've tried many different versions of Linux on many different machines and haven't found one to be comfortable. I get horrendous eyestrain and dizziness and headaches :/

      whystrainwhy Don't listen to moonpie. He is spreading blatant misinformation. Just ignore him.

      You can run Windows 10 perfectly safely by following the instructions I listed:

      Do not click links or open attachments in emails

      Keep PC behind a physical router

      Keep Windows firewall turned on.

      Do not visit sketchy websites or download executables you do not recognize

      Do that and you will be fine. Your health is far too important to get spooked by liars like moonpie. He is just trying to victim shaming you. Ignore him

          ensete Thanks for saying that and I agree with you. I think Windows 10 version 1809 would feel good but it's hard to find a legit copy anywhere to try out. I'll keep this in mind. Do you have any thoughts about an old Macbook laptop once Mozillda stops supporting Firefox for specific OS versions? I think I have like a year or a year and a half before Firefox is no longer supported and I wonder what I'll do if I can't find a solution heh

              I disagree with you. You need to understand how malware really harms you, to eliminate paranoia. In general, I agree with @ensete - if you use the OS wisely, you can use even winXP 🙂 Especially, if some win build works less harmful for users, in terms of eye-strain

                whystrainwhy Unfortunately I don't have a lot of experience using Macs or know much about browsers for the platform, so I can't really speak to them, sorry.
