yes but they make it hard to access, and it has legal issues too so you maybe shouldn’t use it in a business setting
What is Windows 10 LTSC? LTSC is the abbreviation of Long Term Servicing Channel. It is a stripped-down enterprise operating system based on a specific version of Windows 10. Windows 10 LTSC don’t have pre-installed apps such as Microsoft Edge, Cortana assistant, News, etc. Using the LTSC service model, you can delay receiving feature updates and only receive monthly device quality updates.
Holy SHIT they made a version with the worst stiff removed AND they’re going to maintain it longer? That is the version everybody should be using.
I’m slowly switching to linux but there are things I’m going to need Windows for for the foreseeable future, and I think I’ve found how I can make that happen. Thank you.

I discovered recently that they make the regular ISOs hard to access too. It didn’t want to let me download it from a linux machine.
But there’s always a way to access this stuff.
What are the legal issues?
WhyJiffie@sh.itjust.works 4 weeks ago
licensing. both if you don’t plan to buy it, and if you do, because as I understand it’s hard to obtain, and maybe hard to keep too

That site’s ai protection won’t let me through. But if the issue is needing a legitimate license them I’m sure that can be overcome in other ways.

It’s used for industrial applications like manufacturing and whatnot, stuff that really doesn’t need to be updated regularly since the software is effectively legacy.
Hell, we’ve got tools from the 2000s still running Win2k.

Well I mainly want it to keep my VR headset running which nobody can get working in linux.
One of these days I’ll replace it and make sure the new one can run on linux, and then I won’t have much keeping me on windows anymore.
