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 just install Windows 11 Pro N, it comes with much less bloat than the normal Pro version. Then I run the Ameliorated playbook to get rid of most of the spyware and all the other junk. You can also run a script from privacy.sexy for good measure, but AME should handle most of it.
Just make sure to install the Windows Media Feature Pack from the “Optional features” dialog in the settings before running AME, because it might not be possible afterwards.New stuff to me, thank you!
this can break windows in anyway that affects games?? i just use Windows to play games (cracked games of course) Thanks
I also don’t want to be running an antique OS… Just a debloated one.
This is not a Windows forum, so I feel justified in pointing out that in that case you should probably avoid Microsoft products entirely.
This isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution though. OP has asked specifically for information regarding Windows and even specifically mentions Linux in the post so it’s fair to say they’re aware of it and choose to stay on Windows.
I use CachyOS on my gaming rig and it has been outstanding. The only ting that doesn’t work is the EA app.
CachyOS
Games from fit girl works??? thanks
Linux
Ive been enjoying https://universal-blue.org/ lately.
If you go windows you will have to use a version with the windows store to make it worth using.
+1 I went from windows 11 >>> Bazzite OS. Never looked back.
Hi. You can play games from FitGirl in Bazzite OS? They run well or it is better Windows here? Thanks.
ps. im a linux user (i just use linux like… i dont know maybe 15 years) but this months i buy a new pc with good hardware (the best in my life so far) and download windows to… play some games… sadly because, as i say, i almost always use linux.
So far, I haven’t tried any games from FitGirl. However, most Windows games work perfectly if you set up Proton and Wine correctly. There are a few YouTube tutorials specifically designed for Bazzite.
oh i see. This days im playing Elden Ring from fit girl, so i will wait until finish this game to delete the fucking windows and try hacked games in Linux. Thanks!
(i will be probably a lot of time playing… this game is amazing but time cosuming, it is too good)
