LTSC is the route I took as well for awhile. But went back to retail because I wanted to play Game Pass and there were some weird things going on. But it was great for my cheap homemade NAS.
that is… until I switched both computers to Linux last year.
But completely agree - if you need/want to stay in Windows, LTSC was very clean.
Had no problems running LTSC for several years while using game pass, just had to enable the store and grab a couple official packages. Alongside MAS it’s a nice replacement for people not willing to switch to Linux. While I no longer have any windows machines at home, I have setup friends and family with LTSC and they have all been happy with it.
Enterprise is close (no candy crush etc), but LTSC still rules supreme
Same with 11, now that IoT LTSC just released not too long ago.
Awesome! Was looking for a trusted source, didn’t know MAS had these.
