    Pro tip: If you must use Windows, pick Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2021. Most things still run on it, and that baby’s got no user-facing slop and five more years of support in it. Mass Grave dot dev.

      I put Windows 11 on it’s own hard drive, so it couldn’t corrupt the rest of the system.

      +1 massgrave. Got the extended support for my regular W10 pro. After that, it’s going to be debian if - fingers crossed - nothing breaks. It’s a 6700K build.

        Going to Linux is probably the more sustainable solution (I ended up on Ubuntu and my 4130 is happy enough) but you apparently might be able to convert-in-place to the IoT edition, if that’s the route you’d prefer to go down.

        I’m a Linux user but not everyone has that privilege.

        I just want everyone to have an OS that works for them, and I’m getting kinda tired of that being a hot take.

          I can understand that point. But putting more effort into making windows half normal and kinda usable seems like wasting time, Its an uphill battle that you are loosing anyway at some point.

          I like you.

          I’m as much a nerd as the next, but I also play a lot of different games, with a lot of different people on different platforms, and that’s not feasible (yet) on anything other than windows.

          I hate it, but it is what it is.
