    Hopefully this nonsense doesn’t affect the LTSC version. Using that has been a breath of fresh air - still Windows, less crap. Not even the store is installed by default.

      It doesn’t. I doubt it will in the future, but its possible.

      I still would recommend moving to another solution though.

        Long Term Service Channel. It’s a branch that is used by devices that may not be recommended to be on the latest version of Windows, for example ATMs. When the device needs to essentially be consistently reliable and not received feature updates that could potentially break it.

          Basically, yeah. Features don’t come out often but you still get security updates on the regular which is what’s important. Things don’t change which means things don’t typically break.

        Windows has ease on its side. I’ve never had to learn CMD to achieve basic tasks in Windows and that’s one of, if not the biggest point against Linux.

        In my opinion, not entirely, the underlying NT kernel seems better designed than Linux.
        Windows 7 was very good, later versions were turned into crap.

            From what I read through the years, NT actually had design behind it, while Linux is a pile of improvised hacks roughly following an “ancient” 1970s design.
            Of course that might be wrong, and I’m using Linux almost continuously on last year and it seems solid, the only annoyances being installing stuff, and things designed with 1970s mentality that forces the use of the terminal.

              Try OpenSUSE it has Yast2 GUI GTK. Graphical manager for packages, one-click install of downloaded RPMs from web sources. Full GUI for all system settings, services, etc. No CLI needed.
