MS is getting so thirsty it's pathetic. All the Win 11 garbage and now this. It's sad really.
I develop software that runs on Windows, so I have to use it to some degree. I would pay so much money for an officially-supported version that lets me cut out all the shit I don’t need and not deal with stupid thirst tricks. For the longest, I just ran Windows Server in a VM.
try Windows LTSC
I might actually do that.
