I agree. Last I checked you can actually get a copy of Enterprise LTSC for free (I think it involved pulling from M$ archives, maybe archive.org), and it comes with M$ Office for Business, aka individual apps, pre 365 trash. You won’t get the latest malware or OTA bug pushes, or even the latest in forced advertising widgets or AI creativity replacements. Wouldn’t hurt to put it through Win11Debloat and the other one I can’t remember the name of
I would recommend Linux also for people who can run Windows 10 or 11.
Linux, or Windows 11 Enterprise IoT LTSC if you can’t ditch Windows
