    If anybody is planning to dig their own mass grave then I recommend Windows 10 LTSC Enterprise. Notice it comes in two flavors: vanilla or IoT, I don’t think IoT should be used unless you actually need it because it can be less secure.

    That aside, Linux is cool. Maybe try out some of the new distros before committing to yar-har-dery.

      IoT is supported until January 2032, while standard LTSC is only supported until January 2027, which only, like, an extra year or so of support over regular Windows 10. I’ve never heard anything about IoT being less secure but I’m far from being an expert lol.

        That’s fair, but in general I don’t think windows is much of a long term option. The main reason IoT has more vulnerabilities is that it has more endpoints, so if you properly secure everything with credential you should in theory have no problems, but it’s statistically much much more vulnerable.
