I'll soon be assembling a new PC and I need to figure out which version of Win 11 to use. I've not been able to find a good discussion of using IoT or LTSC for a "daily driver" gaming and productivity PC.

I'll want to make use of a lot of Windows features like virtualization, the ability to run Android apps, and the Linux subsystem. I don't need all the new feature updates immediately, but I also don't want to be running an antique OS... Just a debloated one.

If you've navigated these waters I would love to hear about your experience.

To run virtualization and and WSL in a debloated manner you may as well just dual boot Linux and Windows. It'll remove so much headache that WSL creates.

Dual booting is well documented and you get the best of both worlds. If you later find it's not for you then you just erase the Linux partitions and stick with windows
