Challenge with that is you lose access to a bunch of “nice-to-haves” that enable you to use Visual Studio or play games due to missing dependencies. LTSB/C is great for isolated environments that are somewhat frozen in time, but for consumer scenarios those can be full of gaps.
- jareklupinski 5y agothat's interesting, my primary (and only, really) use-case for windows is gaming. i only get games through Steam and they're mostly post-2010 titles, hoping thats the reason i havent run into dep issues yet my motivation wasn't blocking telemetry or whatever, I just needed to squeeze every single frame out of my aging rig, and dove down the rabbit hole of optimizing win10 starting with LTSB i had to jump back to win10 pro after a failed migration to LTSC, but i'm constantly looking for an excuse and will probably go to win11 only if there's a similar route (and then maybe even gladly :) )
- tehbeard 5y agoHave you given proton/Steam on linux a try?
- DoctorDabadedoo 5y agoNot OP, but last time I tried (1-2y ago or so) it "worked" but had severe performance issues, animation lag, input lag, etc. I played a bit with it using Grim Dawn (a diablo like action rpg). Don't know if there were significant improvements since then.
- tehbeard 5y agoI'd imagine its improved since then, especially with Steam touting a Linux handheld. I need to find a spare SSD and time/energy so I can dual boot and try it out on a "regular" system.
- jareklupinski 5y agoi have heard good things, i'll try it before reaching for win11 :)
- throaway46546 5y agoI use LTSC for gaming and haven't had any issues. What's broken with Visual Studio?
