My Windows Computer Just Doesn't Feel Like Mine Anymore
What am I even paying for?
You're viewing a single thread.
I switched all of my Windows systems over to Windows 10 LTSC a few months ago, and it's been a game-changer. I still get security updates, but no advertisements, bloat, or new "features." I believe it's supported until 2032.
After that, I'll probably switch my remaining systems over to Linux, but until then, it's not half bad.
I ran ltsc for a few months... Then I found it didn't have simple stuff like the camera app? I forget why, but there was one all I really needed that I didn't have, so after fighting trying to install it, I just want back to Windows pro. I might give windows enterprise a try though.
VLC, Open Capture Device would probably have worked. Or OBS if you wanted to get fancy.
I'm thinking about doing it too but with w11
I haven't tried W11 LTSC. Even if you cut out the bloat, I just can't stand the interface. Hopefully 12 is better, but I'm not hopeful.
The interface is fine. The inconsistency of it is awful. Makes me wonder how the most popular os in the world, can that be bad and useless.
"popular" as it "it came on every computer every Luddite got from Best Buy and contracted to every business"
Honestly, it Linux was as easy as Windows and played every steam game without any effort, windows would drown a slow death.
You got it the wrong way round. It’s awful because it is the most popular os. If you look back at Windows XP or 7, they were clean, consistent and a pleasure to use. Everybody had XP, then 7 and by then it was too late and everybody was used to it and Microsoft can do whatever they want now and people will just take it because they’ve always used Windows. No need to put in effort.
it's pre-installed on everything by default. that's the only reason it's """popular"""
People that lived through getting kicked off XP are like "w11 interface is fine. I've been through worse"
Hopefully 12 is better
Hahaha. Oh man, I needed that laugh. Thanks. 🥲 This is a one way journey until all computers look and behave like smartphones. Hopefully I'll have dementia by then so I won't remember how amazing computers used to be.

I swear this is the only explanation for people claiming Windows gets a good version every other version.
