I agree. Last I checked you can actually get a copy of Enterprise LTSC for free (I think it involved pulling from M$ archives, maybe archive.org), and it comes with M$ Office for Business, aka individual apps, pre 365 trash. You won’t get the latest malware or OTA bug pushes, or even the latest in forced advertising widgets or AI creativity replacements. Wouldn’t hurt to put it through Win11Debloat and O&OShutUp10
You can download whatever ISO you want, and then once installed use the activation script that actually generates a legitimate activation with Microsoft.
No sketchy cracks or keygens needed.
Linux, or Windows 11 Enterprise IoT LTSC if you can’t ditch Windows

OOShutup10 works good.
Even that doesn’t bring normal Windows 10 close to the IoT versions from my experience; it debloats it pretty good but not enough.
It’s the best legal option for sure.
