    I’m in the same boat waiting for Linux to be a bit more “feature complete,” for me to daily.

    In the mean time, check out W11 Enterprise IoT LTSC. It’s the secret menu item equivalent W11 they don’t wanna sell to consumers. It feels like a fresh W7 install with no AI, no bloat, no bullshit, and can even disable all telemetry. Only comes with Edge and Defender.

    massgrave.dev has the iso’s and permanent activators.

    Edit: Adding that you can install the App Store and Xbox App to make use of Game Pass.

      Lovely, thanks for the reminder on massgrave. I made the switch to Linux and haven’t looked back, but there are some games that require root kits that I’d like to play so I was considering virtualizing Windows and this would be perfect.

      Thanks. I’ll look into that. My current version had been pushing me to update, which I’ve been postponing and I’m guessing is free, but I’m not sure it’ll give the choice of version. My work computer just updated to W11 Enterprise literally this morning, so I’ll get myself used to it here before making the leap.

      Yeah but then you can’t run Xbox Games Pass or anything fun like that.
