Those were fun times. Raise your hand if you made a $100 mistake and got your sat box killed by an ECM, haha.

Thanks for sharing that post. That's genuinely new info to me. Very interesting.

Thanks to the two of you I tried 11 IoT LTSC and it's been great. I had no problems adding the store as you suggested. The Titus tool I already knew, it delivers.

Thanks again for encouraging me to give it a try.

I'm posting this from my new system, running 11 IoT LTSC as you and some others vouched for. It's great, whatever IoT LTSC is missing, I haven't needed any of it yet!

Getting the store and winget installed was easy enough, too. I'm very pleased.

New stuff to me, thank you!

Good stuff, thanks.

Honestly the biggest problem with those is they tend to go hog wild and remove too many things so you have to be careful with them and not just blindly click “remove everything possible”.

Facts. They are useful tools, but even though I thought I was being careful I wiped out some useful features like URL autocomplete when I experimented with the Titus tool.

That's a bingo.

Correct. I know plenty about Linux and other OSes, but for this system, I'm choosing to use Windows anyway.

I should have known I'd get my ass beat for asking a question on the internet, right? Haha.

Thank you kindly for the confirmation. I'll check out StartAllBack too.

 

I'll soon be assembling a new PC and I need to figure out which version of Win 11 to use. I've not been able to find a good discussion of using IoT or LTSC for a "daily driver" gaming and productivity PC.

I'll want to make use of a lot of Windows features like virtualization, the ability to run Android apps, and the Linux subsystem. I don't need all the new feature updates immediately, but I also don't want to be running an antique OS... Just a debloated one.

If you've navigated these waters I would love to hear about your experience.

 

I've seen a number of posts lately like "How to get yadda yadda yadda" but when you click, the content is actually a question about the subject line, which sucks.

If you're posting a question, please make it look like a question. It's EASY... Just put a QUESTION MARK at the end of your subject line. It looks like this:
