Thanks for sharing this. I’ve been trying to explore Linux distros after the windows snapshot announcement but the sheer variety and the hardware troubleshooting has really kept be from making the switch.
Get Win10 LTSC. It gets updates 2x/year, has very minimal bloat.
Then get O&O Shutup to reduce bloat even more.
And you can permanently license it using Microsoft's own scripts.
Scripts on Gituub.
Thank you! Do you know if the LTSC version is impacted by the October 2025 sundown date?
"Windows 10 GAC (General Availability Channel) (i.e. Home, Pro) will reach end of support on October 14, 2025. So, if your hardware doesn't support Windows 11 then you might wanna use Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2021 since its supported until Jan 13, 2032" from https://massgrave.dev/windows_ltsc_links
