For my aunt

Doing a fresh install of windows 10 iot ltsc… Because it works, and I refuse to learn windows 11 just to do tech support.

      You say that… and i agree for the individual user,

      but for doing tech support - i think all of the dark patterns ms uses in their retail environment is going to setup a older person for failure. I don’t want one drive to get pushed or auto-installed. I don’t want edge to take over everything. I don’t want to try to debug whatever copoilt / recall is doing this week. I don’t want to start bar/task bar to get filled with micro advertisements.

      Thats why I went with IOT LTSC, sure, I don’t have the windows store, but on the other hand I don’t have the windows store.

      When windows 8? Was a thing and Ms had this all tile interface I once tried to print a document in a hotel… I felt like the interface was actively fighting me the entire time, the single most difficult computer interaction in my life. (And I used os/2)

        I use win 11, but i put my parents on osx. Not as good as it used to be, but a bit less intrusive than windows.

        Regarding os/2 that was my ideal os for many years. Its kinda what osx could have been, until they deviated into what it is today
