I’m banking on the world ending before then. Or I get an incurable cancer. Either way, fuck Microsoft.

If you’re not ready to switch to Linux:
Windows 10 Enterprise IoT is supported until 2032, works great, contains almost no bloat, and is free to activate.

Or I get an incurable cancer.
So you are planning to upgrade?

I know, right! How can they expect to die from incurable cancer when we’ve got all the world’s compute devoted to curing it?

It’s the barest of bones. I use it for one of my consulting machines in the times I’m forced to run windows.

I use W10 Enterprice IoT LTSC for everything. Mainly for gaming. No problems at all, though I play single player games only.

Be warned though that some installers will yell at you for not having a “compatible version of Windows”. Its rare, but some apps don’t like the enterprise editions.

My brother used to use enterprise windows 10 until he started having that vary issue with trying to play COD.

Damn, I guess he can’t play the same game that’s been rereleased annually for 20 years then huh. What a bummer

Iv already started seeing games with older versions of BE and EAC say consumer windows 10 isn’t supported any more and not working.
Trying to stay on windows 10 and be a gamer is quickly going to become a nightmare with more compatibility issues then Linux.

At this rate we’ll need a Wine/Proton that runs on Windows to allow you to run Windows software.

I haven’t experienced this with years of Enterprise use, but back when I was on Win 7 LTSC until its very end, I did get yelled at that my Windows was too old, even if it was still under official support. But then again I suppose devs don’t expect people to try to run games on heart monitors or industrial equipment xd (or whatever else LTSC was intended for)
