  1. Win11 IoT Enterprise LTSC is for enterprises, not normal users.

  2. macOS needs some sort of mac from apple, and those are ridiculously overpriced and locked down more than north korea.

  3. Why would you believe Big Tech? They're lying 99% of the time for profit, heck; they do every bullshit possible on this universe just for money.

  1. then why am I, a normal user, using it?

  1. Says who?
  2. If you truly believe a Mac is locked down more than North Korea you need to do some research. And I pray you never find out how locked down North Korea is first hand.
  3. I didn't say that I did. Please don't put words into my mouth.

  1. The name. The literal name.

  2. It was a kinda exaggerated comparison, but my point stands: it is very locked down.

  3. Using big tech's products means that you support them. And why would you support something evil?

  1. You sound like you've never used it. It's still just Windows, but because it's for enterprise it doesn't have the consumer version bloat.

See how that works?

Result: It's pretty good. I just had to remove edge and tweak a lil bit via christitus's tool.

The only thing i worry about it the 90-day-valid windows licence. Will it go kaboom once it expires, or just become "not activated"?

But...

I still don't want to depend on microsoft so... :P

There’s a million billion reasons to knock MacOS, but saying it’s too locked down in a thread about Linux is wild. They’re both Unix based OSes. They’re siblings. If you’re comfortable enough with a command line to terminal your way through managing Linux then you’re capable enough to terminal your way through MacOS and get it to do anything you could get Linux to do.

But there's too much apple bullshit saying "no, you can't do that". Like, let me just open the app i just downloaded goddammit! I'm not a moron!

Also, what the fuck can i even customize? I need a window manager or similar experience.

It's also apple-product only. And the one i hate the most, it's closed source.
