If you really want to avoid Windows 11, get Windows 10 IOT LTSC. It's supported till 2032.

  The only downside I've discovered from using this version is the inability to install `winget` and thence, Windows Terminal. I was able to add it at one point but then MS added new barriers and I haven't attempted since.

    I don’t know about winget, but you may be able to install the portable build of Terminal via scoop: https://scoop.sh/#/apps?q=Terminal&id=269082ead77af63e0e77c98c80bef9429504ac23 https://scoop.sh/#/apps?q=Terminal&id=269082ead77af63e0e77c9...

      Thanks, I'll try that instead.

    FWIW, I don't use winget but was able to install WSL/WSL 2/terminal without any issues on my windows 10 ltsc iot edition.

      With the MS Store removed too? I don't recall the "wsl --install" commands working out of the box on IOT.

  At that point you're technically violating the license, so what does having a 'supported' version even mean?

    "support" in this context refers to security patches, not ability to submit support tickets.
