    I recommend Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC, which is supported until 2032 and has never required me to update my fucking clock or calculator, never crashed my SSD, and never randomly encrypted my hard drive and lost the recovery keys! And, there’s no OneDrive, Copilot, Recall, Cortana, Clippy, or whatever else Microsoft’s cocaine addled executives have come up with this week to FUCK us.

    Since thats the standard for operating systems we’re working with now, I’d say this one is pretty good!

    Here’s how you can purchase your copy today!

      Isn’t the IoT version missing some features?

      The real fix is to switch to Linux.

      Also, what’s wrong with Clippy?

        IoT is missing all the features I hate, but they can usually be installed manually if desired.

        I’m holding out till 2032 for Linux by which time I will be dead or ready to switch.

        I was one of those cool 90’s kids who hated Clippy, and I am still just as immature.

          Why are you waiting so long? Windows XP pushed me over the edge and I switched to Linux then. Everything was suddenly better. Computers were useful and fun again.

          What are you waiting for?

          I always liked the red ball and the wizard more than Clippy anyways.

      Honestly I’ll just stick to a custom Windows 11 image if I need Windows.

      Chris Titus tech even has a tool to build one

        Yes, purchase legitimately from Microsoft with a genuine Microsoft license key from Microsoft because software piracy is wrong and totally not justified in the face of abusive software monopolies.

      I’m using Win11 LTSC and it’s great for the same reasons.

      On the computers I still have running windows, this is what I’m using and I have dodged So much of the bullshit people have been dealing with. I’m still running Linux on my main machines though. Maybe by the end of the year I’ll have migrated everything away from both Microsoft and Google.
