I recommend Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC, which is supported until 2032 and has never required me to update my fucking clock or calculator, never crashed my SSD, and never randomly encrypted my hard drive and lost the recovery keys! And, there’s no OneDrive, Copilot, Recall, Cortana, Clippy, or whatever else Microsoft’s cocaine addled executives have come up with this week to FUCK us.
Since thats the standard for operating systems we’re working with now, I’d say this one is pretty good!
Windows Store is useful for less sophisticated users though. It’s dangerous teaching non-computer-illiterate people to install apps by downloading random EXE files.
Why are you waiting so long? Windows XP pushed me over the edge and I switched to Linux then. Everything was suddenly better. Computers were useful and fun again.
This is sweet! Didn’t realize it existed. Been dreading the 11 BS and clawing all the enshittification out. I wish I could do linux on my main machine, but CAM is still not pro grade.
Yes, purchase legitimately from Microsoft with a genuine Microsoft license key from Microsoft because software piracy is wrong and totally not justified in the face of abusive software monopolies.
On the computers I still have running windows, this is what I’m using and I have dodged So much of the bullshit people have been dealing with. I’m still running Linux on my main machines though. Maybe by the end of the year I’ll have migrated everything away from both Microsoft and Google.

Here’s how you can purchase your copy today!
Isn’t the IoT version missing some features?
The real fix is to switch to Linux.
Also, what’s wrong with Clippy?
the windows store is not a real feature
Windows Store is useful for less sophisticated users though. It’s dangerous teaching non-computer-illiterate people to install apps by downloading random EXE files.
IoT is missing all the features I hate, but they can usually be installed manually if desired.
I’m holding out till 2032 for Linux by which time I will be dead or ready to switch.
I was one of those cool 90’s kids who hated Clippy, and I am still just as immature.

What are you waiting for?

Should probably contact the developers then, because the ones that don’t work, don’t work by choice.

Go look for whatever game you’re stuck on, it might just work.
a linux chatbot gives me this link every month, thx but no thx.
Wouldnt hold your breath, unless microsoft finally realizes rootkits are a bad thing.
Isn’t that what happened after the CrowdStrike issue? https://www.theverge.com/2024/7/26/24206719/microsoft-windows-changes-crowdstrike-kernel-driver
I always liked the red ball and the wizard more than Clippy anyways.
💯
A simpler time, when the computer was fun and whimsical

He linked to the Mass Activation Script. The same way I purchase all Microsoft products.

I’m using Win11 LTSC and it’s great for the same reasons.
On the computers I still have running windows, this is what I’m using and I have dodged So much of the bullshit people have been dealing with. I’m still running Linux on my main machines though. Maybe by the end of the year I’ll have migrated everything away from both Microsoft and Google.
Honestly I’ll just stick to a custom Windows 11 image if I need Windows.
Chris Titus tech even has a tool to build one
