its also worth noting that CORE stop supporting windows versions when windows stop supporting their old versions
windows 7 bbecame unsupported in 2020 so windows 8 is min standard core devs find viable for bitcoin now
windows 8 was first released in 2012. and 3TB hard drives in 2012 were only $150 back then.
You do realize that Windows is a far more popular desktop OS (compared to Linux) due to the fact it offers backwards compatibility with multi-decade old apps (like 32-bit apps from the 90s), right?
point was.. when core set the standards and put a age limit on their support.. it funny how some of them and their fangirls then try to incite som taboo that bitcoin cant run unless its some quantum computer server farm..
i was simply using their standards against them that even their 12 year old computers can be $400 back then and still able to handle historic data PLUS many years of future data even if bitcoin scales.. simply to debunk their own myths using their own standards
