What's the point of IoT LTSC?

First off why are you asking autocorrect for tech advice? Second off, LTSC is the best way to use windows, but that’s like saying the shit I took yesterday is better than the shit I took today. If you want to play video games and you don’t play slop shooters just use cachyos, it will work a lot better than any stripped down windows.

>it will work a lot better than any stripped down windows
If all you ever do is watch cherrypicked benchmarks that don't show cases where Proton completely shits the bed and you don't actually game yourself to have a genuine point of reference.

>>108650242
>they instantly reinstall and a new copilot version installs as well

its fine for gaming if you can get a license for cheap somewhere or you use mas on your air gaped machine.

Instead of dealing with the never ending chase of trying to gut every telemetry component (you won't and you can't), it's easier and better to just use a firewall to block literally everything by default, then individually whitelist every connection you recognize.

>>108650263
I use cachyos as a daily driver and I have absolutely zero issue running games. I just played through crimson desert, all settings on ultra with RT on and my fps never dipped below 100. Doesn’t matter if it’s an old release or a new one, everything works.

LTSC is perfectly good for gaming, you can just install all the dependencies yourself.
most of the time you don't even have to look for em either, which most of the time is just some version of framework, either Steam will install it with the game or Windows will go look for it after you start an installer which depends on it.

its literally just normal windows without the bullshit
Games worked out of the box for me, outside of the usual shit like installing C++ runtime, literally no dependencies. I only ran into some issues with winget but I was doing programming specific bullshit in the terminal

>>108650229
there was one game that worked but had really bad stuttering until I manually installed some ms redistributable package
otherwise no issues

>>108650229
It's just windows but with less shit. What else do you need to know?

>>108650229
the only issue i had was i couldn't install official minecraft without also manually installing some dependency that the microsoft store needed(but is absent)
i didn't do it because bloat, third party launchers work fine

>>108650229
it's just some retard with some kind of low iq mental illness, pretty self evident

>Windows 10 with 90% of the bloat and fuckery and receives only security updates until 2032
>as a gaymer, new games will stop working
It's okay if you need to use Windows I guess, but not for gaming.

Less bloat, no constant buggy updates. Perfect for gaymen.

>>108650229
I still use Opus, Everything and other shit instead of the Windows defaults, but Windows 11 was just too fucking slow. I forgot that quick booting used to be a thing. Its just better

>>108650229
LTSC is the only good Windows. Chatgaypt is just retarded autocorrect as usual.

Placebo the OS, missing feature packs, many games and apps now Windows 11 only. Just sign up for the Microsoft Account already.

>>108650254
Just not being able to play slopshooters would be one thing, but you also can't play chudshooters like Escape from Tarkov's multiplayer mode

>>108653806
Just call it for what it is instead of trying to make amalgamated words.

>>108653751
Nothing Windows-related is even close to perfect. Switch to Linux, preferably CachyOS. Windows is for jeets and troons, and nothing works.

>>108650229
actually the version is frozen 2h21 or something so if you depends on anything newer than that you sotl

other than that you still get maintenance updates til 2032

>>108654558
I mean sure, but EFTs multiplayer is fucking awful. You can just play SPT and have a much better experience.

Don't ask questions. Just consume product then get excited for next products.

>>108650229
Never going back.

Switched to W10 IoT LTSC few months ago. All my Steam shit works. All my f95 shit + mods work. My gooner Skyrim modlists work. All of it runs better than on W11 Home.

I believe I had to regedit tweak a few minor things to disable the xbox overlay, which is not installed by default, resulting in a "open this app with what?" popup sometimes.

Just install 7zip and irfanview+addons since it opens images with paint, and doesnt know what to do with 7z or webp/avif files.

>>108650229
install linux mint

>>108654627
Anon, I vastly prefer Linux to Windows but this is just cope.

it literally just works perfectly all the time

>>108655277
It's crazy how you need to do all this to make Windows useable again.

>>108650229
I am using it right now. Everything works mostly fine, but new games sometimes require adding a ra dom launch option. For example i had to disable vulkan to run slay the spire 2, and disable fullscreen optimizations to see anything in everspace 2(otherwise window fully transparent.
Another downside is no WSL, fortunately there are computers at my uni that are faster than mine anyway for the ai bs i have to do.

>>108657287
there is nothing stopping you from installing WSL in LTSC.

Yeah man what's the fuckin point of windows amirite? lmao

It's still fine if you play new games. You just have to install your drivers manually and some programs.
But 10 is going to lose driver support from nvidia/amd by the end of the year and you'll hit a point where new games will quit working.

>>108658492

and this is bad, given the track record of every shitty developed broken woke political slop, how exactly?

All Windows is dogshit, because:
>closed source everything, meaning you can't uninstall core stuff like GUI or change kernel modules or optimise any components, forced to use their dogshit terribly designed software
>Have to rely on Microjeet to fix your pc or troubleshoot
>Still had spyware in DNS and optionals like bonzibuddy, it just wasn't as obvious as it is currently
>Their desktops lack a huge amount of features that Xorg and others have had for decades, such as alt-drag moving and resizing and customizable shortcuts
>No posix standard commands even though literally every other operating system has posix standard commands in CLI

No issues here.

i boot into my windows install once every 2 months just to refuel my seethe about windows
holy shit is it fucking slow and gay

>>108661700
I say the same about Linux

>shit just breaks every other day for no reason
>oh vey, you gotta update your packages or fix a compatibility issue that suddenly cropped up NOW of all times

>>108650229
its great. id say go for win11 ltsc instead since some games are dropping support for win10 alr.
also, win11 has support for DirectStorage, FSR4 (afaik it doesnt work as well on win10) and also has windowed mode optimizations

>Chatgpt told me
low iq

>>108661954
Im never going to that jeetsoft shit Win 11.

I have it on an old laptop I use to play music and videos before bed, it gets slow as fuck even with an SSD and 32GB of RAM. I'm probably gonna nuke it and install debian on it.

But can you pirate games? Can you download an executable off cs.rin.ru and play a gane? A friend of mine can't do that with Mint.

Firefox always turns on some faggot AI shit or fucks my UI with every update. I now have a goddamn list for every annoyance I have to turn off in about:config for new installs. Not to mention they just fucked the UI on mobile so you have to reach across the entire fucking screen

>>108662197
Anon is there a source on that wallpaper? it's pretty great

>>108650876
This is the best answer here. As someone who has been using LTSC for years now I have never had an issue with steam or games on my PC because all the dependencies just get installed when you install the game. The only dependencies I have had to go out and get myself are small silly things like a media viewer to view jpegs and pngs that I use for 4chan. Its rare that you will ever come upon things like that but when you do its as simple as downloading a driver for whatever it is.

literally no point in using any other OS for you personal PC, especially windows OS's

>>108650229
My laptop is over ten years old. I installed W10 IoT LTSC on it and use Edge with ublock origin to watch youtube on my tv via an hdmi cable. I have had no issue in the three years I have been doing this. This is my only computer as I belong to a rare, non-gaymer breed of neet
