I have them running under both VirtualBox (works but is a little fragile) and VMware (which is now freeware, of course) where it runs very smoothly and quickly.
Since I like old Thinkpads with full-travel keyboards, none of my own laptops can run Win11 without hacks. I dislike it anyway.
So although I mainly run Linux, I think come October I will nuke my dusty and rarely-booted Windows 10 partitions and replace them with LTSC.
The IoT edition only supports US English, which is a minor PITA, but it works and I can set a UK English keyboard layout. It's perfectly usable. I DGAF about US spellings in the UI but it's annoying that I need 2 locales configured, and a local switcher I never use, just to have a UK keyboard.
