      ltsc is fine but i have some issues with it:
      1.App support will be like windows 10,fine for legacy or apps that dont get alot of updates but bad for newer apps (on windows 10 ltsc iot)
      2.Your using a version of Windows that isnt designed to be used on a home pc
      3. you cannot install microsoft store apps without workarounds,only exes from random websites(should be fine for most people ngl)
      tho i do use it but mainly only for flashing roms.
      your better off using a Linux distro open source,better in the long run and will support more only Windows apps(that dont need deep windows dependencies) with wine aswell as those windows apps having a native Linux version.
      and Linux has better privacy on most distros.

      Windows IoT can have compatibility issues with software because they’re not the latest version of Windows (think Debian vs. Arch, but without Debian being the presumed default). Also you can’t get a license for it legally.

      This is all stuff I’ve heard second-hand, but it turned me off Windows IoT. So now I main Linux and have Windows 10 on my old Laptop (AND FFS WINDOWS STOP CHANGING MY FIREWALL SETTINGS).

        My version numbers on 11 IoT seem to be bleeding edge for core fuctioning. It’s PERFECT for PC gaming, honestly. No Xbox, no gamebar, no AI, no shit getting installed after new updates.

        The no license legally is why I linked massgrave. Permanent hardware activation. If they wont sell the license for the only good current Windows, then fuck them.

      No. Avoid this by switching to a free operating system such as Debian. Windows is proprietary, there is no hope for privacy there.
