Yall need to just install linux.
Comment on Windows 11 just isn't enticing Windows 10 users to upgrade, and its market share is actually falling

Y’all need to get yourselves that Windows 10 2021 LTSC IoT badboy (IoT part is important). It’s supported until 2032 and it’s only bloat is edge. If I had to use windows again it would be that. Maybe it’s downside would be software complaining in the future that the OS is too old, but I would say it’s worth a shot if you have to use Windows.

Working on it, but only on page 5 of Linux for dummies

You most certainly don’t need a book and I can almost guarantee you that the book is already out of date and irrelevant.
Just dig in and get dirty and figure it out.

You can switch from Windows 10 pro into that?

At a cost. But mind as well pirate since Microsoft is so eager to shove people to Windows 11.

I couldn’t find a version of this that would work in a VM. The few I tried were “preactivated” and then complained about hardware changes when I tried to install in a VM.
No I’m not asking people to find me a working release. I’m just complaining that I just can’t be assed mucking around with unlicensed installations.

Linux doesn’t require AcTiVaTiOn

the last time I had to set up a windows-system, I just said fuck-it and bought a key for 2€ from on of these shady key-sides.

Yeah I bought some keys a while back.
It never seems to be as easy as “type in this key”. They get linked to my Microsoft account or some nonsense.

Oh no, that's not all actually.
That version doesn't even have the Windows Store, which is a huge bloat of it's own. Oh and it doesn't even stop there, apparently Microsoft treats even their Pro-users like trash nowadays, that you have full control of what you do on the Win10 2021 LTSC/LoT as opposed to the Pro version and it costs more.

I was going to ask how WSL gets installed without the Windows Store, but looks like the install path doesn’t use the store anymore. That was one of the few things I ever used the store for.
