LTSC by far the best way to use Windows, but W11 LTSC doesn't exist yet, It'll release next year source.
I'll also suggest using a tool like Windows Privacy Dashboard to disable telemetry just in case.
Windows Privacy Dashboard looks very interesting, I’m going to have to give it a go. Thank you!
Does windows privacy dashboard interfer with like game anti cheat software? And other gaming related shit?
AFAIK no, I have been playing a couple of games in Co-op with friends and have no problems related with Windows for now, my only mistake was not measure performance before enabling everything.
Brilliant. Thank you.

Lol, I've already got a fedora server and desktop, a debian home theater PC, and some sort of Linux running on an old laptop (I think it's Ubuntu right now - I use whatever the current project needs). No windows in my household!
I'm using something other than Windows. 🤷
I wonder what it is
