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.

      MS Store can be installed on LTSC quite easily so it’s very possible to still have the bloat-free version.

          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.
