I’ll soon be assembling a new PC and I need to figure out which version of Win 11 to use. I’ve not been able to find a good discussion of using IoT or LTSC for a “daily driver” gaming and productivity PC.
I’ll want to make use of a lot of Windows features like virtualization, the ability to run Android apps, and the Linux subsystem. I don’t need all the new feature updates immediately, but I also don’t want to be running an antique OS… Just a debloated one.
If you’ve navigated these waters I would love to hear about your experience.
Linux
Ive been enjoying https://universal-blue.org/ lately.
If you go windows you will have to use a version with the windows store to make it worth using.
+1 I went from windows 11 >>> Bazzite OS. Never looked back.
Hi. You can play games from FitGirl in Bazzite OS? They run well or it is better Windows here? Thanks.
ps. im a linux user (i just use linux like… i dont know maybe 15 years) but this months i buy a new pc with good hardware (the best in my life so far) and download windows to… play some games… sadly because, as i say, i almost always use linux.
So far, I haven’t tried any games from FitGirl. However, most Windows games work perfectly if you set up Proton and Wine correctly. There are a few YouTube tutorials specifically designed for Bazzite.
oh i see. This days im playing Elden Ring from fit girl, so i will wait until finish this game to delete the fucking windows and try hacked games in Linux. Thanks!
(i will be probably a lot of time playing… this game is amazing but time cosuming, it is too good)
most debian based distros are good…
I just install Windows 11 Pro N, it comes with much less bloat than the normal Pro version. Then I run the Ameliorated playbook to get rid of most of the spyware and all the other junk. You can also run a script from privacy.sexy for good measure, but AME should handle most of it.
Just make sure to install the Windows Media Feature Pack from the “Optional features” dialog in the settings before running AME, because it might not be possible afterwards.New stuff to me, thank you!
this can break windows in anyway that affects games?? i just use Windows to play games (cracked games of course) Thanks
Previously I ran Win 10 IoT LTSC, with a bunch of scripts from https://privacy.sexy/
I believe most things will work about the same in Win 11. Be sure not to disable anything you might actually need as it can be hard to diagnose.

Just stick with regular windows 11. Windows updates don’t come out that often, and feature updates can be ignored for 6+ months.
