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.

I'm posting this from my new system, running 11 IoT LTSC as you and some others vouched for. It's great, whatever IoT LTSC is missing, I haven't needed any of it yet!

Getting the store and winget installed was easy enough, too. I'm very pleased.
