Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC is supported until 2032 and free to activate.
And what does that accomplish? Delaying the actual problem to 2032?
It delays the problem for six more years, and it also gives me the satisfaction of ~~pirating~~ testing the only decent version of Windows free of Microslop bloat and vibe coded react.
Please stop romanticising Win 10 just because it's less shitty than 11. There is no decent Windows.
Reminder: Win 10 introduced
The last good Windows was Windows 98
For people with a BSOD fetish? Definitely!
Don't yuck my yum
I'm not. It's just... why can't you play with penguins like the other boys?
turns out it was a gateway drug to another kind of blue screen, btw:
Thank GNU! You doin daddy proud, son!
What you're referring to as GNU, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux.
He's even learnt the Gospel of Saint Richard by heart!
I'm a man of culture as well
Exactly. It just delays the inevitable (maybe even sooner if something denies to run on "this old unsupported version"). As an old win-lover I never thought I'd say this:
Better switch to Linux, most of everything windows still works, everything else is just better and faster.
I play heavily modded games and it's a hassle to make some of them work in Linux. Ltsc helps me give some time until modding in Linux gets better support.
That was my biggest gaming-fear when switching. Turned out, it all just works too. So far at least. Wow, satisfactory, core keeper, subnautica and some others.
Even cheatengine and the modmanagers all worked fine.
The only thing I've found not working so far is destiny2. But they can go fuck themselves anyway.
It gives you 6 years to transition to a better OS. Or to become CEO of Microslop and improve things.
It's honestly great, even for me who only boot into windows once every few months.
I wouldn't say "great". But great in comparison to 11 😁 But who needs 6 years of transition? The run-of-the-mill-user with office and Firefox could just switch and not even notice it. Despite libreoffice loading much quicker.
Great in the sense I don't have to bother for 6 years for a partition I will use less than 24 hours over that period of time haha.
So far I've used it to scan once (for some reason that day skan decided to not work) and to make a windows install USB for my SO.
I tried Expedition 33 thinking performance issues were a Linux thing by no, it's just like that.
So it's a long term unlikely to be used OS, and for that long support is great.
Gives 6 more years for Adobe and my online games to start supporting Linux D: (or the Adobe alternatives to become more suitable for professional use)
I can’t help you with the games. You could vote with your wallet and just not play those specific ones. Start hitting that backlog of games you got on sale and never opened.
Regarding Adobe suite in a professional manner, I’m pretty sure they work on MacOS.
You always have choices. They may not be perfect but they do exist nonetheless. These companies will never stop being invasive if users keep giving in. Until “number go down” in board meetings, nothing changes.
