From https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/whats-new/ltsc/overview https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/whats-new/ltsc/ove...: > The Long-Term Servicing Channel is not intended for deployment on most or all the PCs in an organization. The LTSC edition of Windows 10 provides customers with access to a deployment option for their special-purpose devices and environments. These devices typically perform a single important task and don’t need feature updates as frequently as other devices in the organization

Nothing about that really screams "kiosk" to me. That to me says a purpose built computer, which both my desktop and steam deck sole purpose is to play games. I don't need regular updates either, I need a stable OS. Most games are not on the bleeding edge of technology and need the latest Windows features, especially if those features are not back ported to Windows 10. Again will point out that I am running this daily on my Steam Deck for gaming and have had zero issues with compatibility.

  It's fine that it's working for you, but I was describing what its intended purpose is. If you're happy with using your wrench to hammer in nails, I'm certainly not going to stop you!

  Look like it's MS way to shoo people away from this version (Which contain no bloatware)

    Right? It was clearly written in a way to convince most people not to use it but it's a perfectly viable Windows installation for most people. I mean there is some truth that it is missing stuff, I had to install some gaming libraries. But it just installed it when I missed it, it was easier than dealing with dependencies in some repo's I have worked with. And this was on a touch screen without a keyboard and mouse on my Steam Deck. I am pretty sure anyone that has ever installed anything on Windows could figure out how it works. Now the only catch is if certain things you install have to install enough things that you are suddenly back to a normal Windows installation (for example, it doesn't come with the Windows store but when I installed the Xbox app it relies on that). But that same catch exists for any debloat tool as well.

      Unless you play candy crush saga, there no way it go back to "normal"
