I switched to linux yeats ago but i now need to build myself a windows 11 base image thats as lightweight as possible for my vms and im dreading that immeansly. I just want onw toll that can kill literally everything thats unessasary. I mean unless proton and wine has gotten good enough to run autocad programs.
Use Windows LTSC, it doesn't have this stuff. Then permanently license it with the MAS tool on github (let me go find a link)

Thanks for updating the link, I forgot!
This is absolutely the way. My wife needed windows for school recently... Ltsc was the only way to go.
I use windows 11 for work and it's absolutely horrible.. took them a year to let us ungroup windows on the task bar. Win11 literally didn't ship with that ability.
In Win7 and Win10 I always had my own Toolbar added with a bunch of .rdp, .bat and .ps1 for quick and easy access.
In Win11 that feature is missing. :(
Tiny11 is good too!
Link?
Tiny11 Archive Link
In the "ISO Image" dropdown under "Download Options", I recommend the latest build, but that's up to you!
Thanks! I'll have to check it out. I've been waiting for an LTSC version before I tried 11. This might do for now.
Yeah you're welcome! Good good. I only have experience with Tiny10, not Tiny11, but if Tiny10 is anything to go off of, it's a pretty seamless experience.
Yep.
Isn't Tiny11 just LTSC with stuff removed? My Tiny10 VM reports as LTSC.
Mhm.
