    Dope! I appreciate you taking the time! So it sounds like a slightly less bloated version of 10 that gets more support, but it may not be exactly legal and breezy to obtain for my personal home use.

    With the possible exception of finding drivers for a device or two, it sounds like I’ll be better off just pivoting to a Linux distro mid 2025. I have been happy with SteamOS on my docked steam deck with m+kb and controller, so I’m sure I won’t be missing much by picking a popular distro that I can find troubleshooting guidance for when I hit inevitable snags.

    A few questions since you seem to know much more about this than I can probably even find from searching:

    • What is “IoT”? What is “LTSC”?
    • Other than update support, how is this different from my existing home laptop’s Windows 10?
    • Is this free? Will there be obnoxious limitations or reminders to pay to activate?
    • Why should I as a medium skill home computer user without work needs opt for this over Mint, Ubuntu, Nobara, Arch, or whatever other distro somebody would insist I use? I don’t need Office.
