I'm helping a family member build a pc. He wanted to use Windows because "Linux can't play games" despite me having a perfectly good gaming laptop running Linux that runs all my games, even graphically intensive ones.

2 days later, no game has been played yet. We can't even get steam to start. I even installed Arch on a sata ssd I donated just to verify the pc parts actually work (took less than an hour). It took 1 and a half days to even get the Windows 11 installer to get past like the 3rd screen.

Fucking fuck. Dealing with all this fucking bullshit is far worse than not being able to play a few trashy anticheat pay 2 win games. The anti Linux circlejerk is real.

I haven't found any info about Tiny10 being compromised
LTSC will depend on your usage
if you rely on lots of Microsoft services then you'd be better with stock Windows

I agree! Microsoft services fits nice with stock. But still doesn't change stock is bad. But most of my friends and relatives (who use Windows) doesn't use Microsoft products (except core products like calculator) because they do not need it. The stock just comes with so many bloat, bad taskbar, telemetries etc... Some of them don't know how to debloat and tinker with system so they can't mess with it and leave it at stock, some of them knows and does every single step to go far away from stock.

Tiny10 compromise was a hearsay then. Thanks for your info.

I didn't understand what you mean by LTSC will depend on your usage. Can you explain it more?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
