      Enterprise LTSC isn’t a version you commonly run on devices where you can just switch your OS at will.

        I wouldn’t put Windows into my server environment if someone paid me for the privlege. There is exactly one (Windows10) box in my house, belongs to my youngest son, and the minute it goes end of life he’s moving to Fedora too.

    I don’t get it, why are there people on Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021?

    If you were going to do that why not choose Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2021?

      I hate window server so much. Especially now when software is cheap it feels entirely out of place

    It’s fine: Windows 11 is great. People complaining are those that aren’t even using it, using it ‘at work’ or have min. spec system.

      If it works for you, if you’re happy, by all means go ahead.

      But ever since I’ve moved my wife’s computer from windows to “elementary OS” she’s into problem free computing.

            yeah, the one that can actually make points and not have to resort to anecdotes, personal attacks, brigading, and debunked propaganda.

              Just calling someone’s first hand experience an anecdote is not what I call “making a point”

              but dude, chill! I get it … You hate Linux. But even you have to be grateful it’s there, because -like it or not-, It’s what drives over 70% of the network devices allowing you to connect to a Linux server to post your grievances.

                No, if it didn’t exist, we’d have better competition for Windows. It’s too self-limiting with its unstable ABI/API, and commie GPL. BSD is freer and has better load handling, efficiency, networking stack, security, cohesiveness, documentation, etc. And then there’s all the OSes that were promising that Linux squashed by idiots saying ‘we can do that in Linux’ when Linux is flawed at its foundation. -Haiku for example is made for less robust hardware and is much better than Linux for it, but LiGNUts only see Linux.

                Linux is destroying the industry. If you hate Microsoft: hate Linux because Linux is the best possible competition scenario it could have. Google is far worse than Microsoft though, and they were enabled by Linux.

                  Get real. It’s not like linux is in some way blocking competition. It’s free for anyone to compete and try and win (a piece of) the market.

                  Linux is destroying the industry.

                  Yes, that’s why my data center is filled with them /s

                  I’m not saying Linux is the only way to go, but if it did not do what it should do, companies would jump to something else that does.

                  Lol, the reason why Linux is still free is because of the GPL. If BSD had better load handling efficiency, network stack and whatnot it would be used on servers more than Linux.

                  The kernel is a great platform that you can launch an commercial OS from like Android, SteamOS or ChromeOS.

                  Systemd handles a lot of mundane OS tasks, there’s a base implementation for wayland so you can get pretty far. You can also just slap KDE on it and focus on whatever is important to the user base instead.
