Hi,

I recently built a new gaming computer and have been contemplating about the OS.

I prefer to move away from windows given obvious reasons and do like using Linux, but my experience with my steam deck has taught me that pirating games in Linux is hit or miss.

I played around with windows LTSC and honestly, seems like windows without the bloatware.

So question is, how is game pirating on Linux (in a desktop, not steam deck).

Is it as smooth as windows or should I just say fuck it and accept that my gaming computer has to stay windows for another generation?

I found a torrent that had windows 11 LTSC, pre activated and with office.

When I made the bootable usb, it had options where I could just opt out of the data collection and all that so it wouldn’t even show that during install.

Pretty good experience. Feels weird to say that about a Microsoft product.
