11? Fuck that, I'm not sidegrading to 8.
I ain't even joking. My media PC is still on 7, everything else is on Linux now.
Isn't it insecure to run such an old version tho? (Since it stopped recieving updates years ago)
Well, security doesn't matter for a media device like that. The exposure is so minimal that it might as well not exist.
Hell, considering I really only use it to pirate shit maybe once a month nowadays, my main desktop PC isn't even on enough to matter; I could keep any old OS on it.

The risk of getting a attack via the router is very low these days
Lol! You're an idiot
