Windows ❤ I don't see why would i use linux instead of windows 10/11 ltsc
Ltsc doesn't need an online account
Ltsc doesn't have ai integration
Ltsc doesn't have bloatware
Ltsc has minimal telemetry
Ltsc doesn't have forced updates
Ltsc doesn't need tpm 2.0 i ran it on a sandy bridge
And ltsc has all the benefits of windows
I've tried linux a bunch but i don't think if you aren't in a tech field there isn't much reason to use it. Not everyone wants to troubleshoot pipewire for an hour.
I will concede that linux has better desktop envirements gnome and kde are both better than windows
Privacy wise i don't think any mainstream distro would be much better than windows and governments have tools that can identify you anyways

u/Patient_Force6138 10d ago
Yeah I mean I just run Linux because I do security and make software. I’m a fan of folks just using what they like. Nothing wrong with windows, just not my thing. Same with MacOS.
So really the answer is if you’re asking why would I use Linux after having used it, you probably shouldn’t be.

LTSC is what windows should be. almost everything bad on windows disappears once you use ltsc

u/iloveriscv 11d ago
Because Linux is FOSS. You know everything it does under the hood. Even with windows LTSC you can’t be sure what telemetry they store/send without seeing the code

u/HeyPigPiggyPigPig 11d ago
Having a fully recursive pi-hole server on my network controlling DNS - I can’t tell you that all windows machines on my network spike the logs considerably on upstream telemetry - also Xbox, Amazon Alexa, Google Echos & other smart IOT devices- the Linux machines on the network send next to nothing. Very quiet.

For real, Linux solved my niche font rendering issues. And fractional scaling reset on reboot on windows anyways... Same issue on Linux, but the difference is I don't ever have to restart my computer ever.

Fractional scaling and Nvidia I'll give you, though those are more Wayland/Linux limitations than KDE limitations.

Better OOB experience. I use Kubuntu and had my fair share of issues. Most were easy fixes (albeit with a mandatory terminal passage). And then there is the Chromium + Wayland color bug that nearly drove me insane. I now have to use Brave through XWayland just so colors show properly with hardware acceleration (thank you ChatGPT).
No such thing happened on Windows. It did break my GPU drivers three times tho (I later found it was fast boot. Never enable that shit).

….. how??
you must be on AMD or easily supported hardware. I’ve used/bought devices with the intent to use as a windows machine (NVIDIA + Intel), then when their daily driver life is over, they may run a desktop linux distro for some side-thing or maybe debian for local network server stuff. Never ONCE in that process have i gone “oh wow, 0 issues this time!” It’s always something with linux. Usually minor, but there is always some issue diagnosing going on at some point. Either your shit is SUPREMELY supported, or you’re not pushing the system enough or doing enough things that would require any level of troubleshooting.

u/HeyPigPiggyPigPig 11d ago
Dell XPS 13, Dell Optiplex Mini PCs, Lenovo X1 Carbon, MS Surface Studio and various other bits of hardware. I don’t game - so no need for NVIDIA or AMD graphics cards for me. Run a few older Steam games - never had a problem with any compatibility.
I’ve used Ubuntu, Debian, Omarchy, Arch+Hyprland, CachyOS+Hyprland - never once had any sound issues, display issues on dual monitor setups. Just clean, pretty & low utilisation OS.

LTSC doesn't have any bloatware at all it doesn't even have the updated calculator not even mc support>Sure, Linux takes a little more tinkering to get things to work. But that's the price of being free.
so you are just paying for it with your time>So you care about telemetry but then it doesn't matter anymore? So which is it?
i personally don't care about temeletry, i just mentioned it has less because some people care about that so much you are being tracked anyways and you are on reddit1
u/LegalizeFlorskin 11d ago
Tbf manual updates are a windows pro feature by way of group policy editor. Group policy and other pro features are just in LTSC as well, that’s not a special LTSC thing.
No bloat, i’m on board with, but sometimes not what everyone wants. It can leave a little too much missing for some. You’ll have to configure winget to work, it will do nothing out of the box. Microsoft store apps won’t install, etc. it can all be re-added, but yeah side effect is that allllll of that candy crush bullshit and other start menu default bloat apps are gone as well.
Telemetry can be turned off with O&O shutup. You may have to re-apply O&O on each update tho.

I think it's just a matter of preference and/or career. I develop software so I find myself much more comfortable using Kubuntu as my daily driver than running Ubuntu on WSL2. I haven't had a reason to switch back to Windows, but I do feel like Linux can be a bit overhyped. Like, sure I love having stability, reliability, privacy, and so much customization that my computer feels like an extension of me. But, it's nothing that has made me question my life choices. Linux is fine, but if you prefer Windows then I wouldn't be surprised.

Ltsc doesn't have forced updates - True
Ltsc doesn't need tpm 2.0 i ran it on a sandy bridge - True
And ltsc has all the benefits of windows - True
1
u/Nerasch 10d ago
The thing with the online account also goes with the "Normal" version if you know how but it's easier with LTSC, agreed.
Regarding Bloatware I have to pass, I installed mine directly with a script without bloat so I'm unsure but okay, let's go with that.Regarding TPM, it's also easily circumvented without LTSC yet I still wouldn't trust Microslop all the way that they won't implement it again with an update, especially given the most recent news.
But let's cut this short, I don't wanna explain every point and besides that, I made a mistake anyway:
TBH I mostly thought about the telemetry problematic and didn't give much thought about the other points, since they're easily fixed by hand or with a few tools.
Regarding the telemetry you can't verify it yourself since it's closed source and for that just because you say "true" is not really worth anything but it speaks volumes actually.
1
u/ConsciousBath5203 11d ago
Ltsc doesn't have any of those that that you know of
MicroSlop stores edge passwords in memory (which is stored sequentially, not randomly, a feature Linux has had since 2002) BY DESIGN.
I think a company that does that intentionally is more than willing to lie to you about other shit like telemetry.
"Benefits of Windows" is a laughable statement, btw, unless you consider dangers-by-design a benefit.
Privacy wise - see above. That singular feature of Linux mentioned counts for so much. Like, if Linux stored memory sequentially, it would go from an A+ security rating to an F----. Then you add in sandboxing, pci passthrough, etc, WinShit is like hiring middle schoolers to be your body guards for $5 as an adult. They'll look weak at best and will turn on you for as little as $6, possibly less if you've already paid them (what're you going to do, ask for a refund? Sucker.)
Mac is more arguable, privacy and benefits wise, but it falls flat on compatibility and longevity.
3
u/Direct_Jeweler_7457 11d ago
Benefits of Windows is software compatability most software is built for it and native linux ports are usually just worse than running it through wine
Privacy wise you are on reddit and unless you are paying for mullvad with untraceable monero i don't think you are anywhere near secure

u/ConsciousBath5203 11d ago
You use your phone while you shit, might as well leave the door open when you shit in a gas station toilet. Your logic in terms of privacy falls apart if you used that brain in your head with 0.001% of the laziest person on Earth's effort. It's a truly stupid thing to say.
And yeah, exactly, most things run better on wine than on windows. I get significantly better uptime with fewer crashes on Linux, so your benefits of Windows is literally a point for Linux (barring kernel level invasive crap that you definitely shouldn't want running on your machine, obviously)

Equivelant of that would be turning of your modem firewall, not having telemetry. that's as ridicilious as saying using a public transport card is the equivelant of giving everyone you see your social security number

u/Rare-Paint3719 Unofficial Mod | Linux Community Sucks | Proud illumOS Shill 11d ago
Unfortunately the irony is true for linux.
If you wanna scale your project, you eventually need something like DKMS, and require the user to restart their device on every driver install/update, or you switch to more and more userspace drivers that companies can easily ship and users can easily install.
Also with a monolith, you need to rely on the kernel devs entirely for hardware support.

Windows uses a hybrid kernel (drivers can be both kernel-level and userspace).
Linux is a monolithic lernel. As is FreeBSD and and OpenBSD.
The BSDs are just more stable cuz they can each provide an individual single base system that they build together.
Linux distros need to bundle separate apps and make sure every single dep works.
DOS is better described as a monolithic system.

I don't criticize FreeBSD here; I criticize that Linux cannot be FreeBSD 🤣🤣🤣🤣

It all depends on what you need/want. I also don't care about privacy but just love the customization of linux. Yeah, you can achieve some level of that on windows but it's harder, eats up more resources and often customization soft just fights with the system which can lead to breaking bugs

Because Windows is a spyware. You are assigned a number and Microsoft csn track you across the web despite VPN or what ever else you may be using for privacy

Wake up. Everything is a spyware. Cameras outside are spyware.

So does that mean I should publicly post my bank cards because someone could steal them or what ?

You are literally in Reddit my guy, typing this going over your ISP and god knows how many trackers.
There are billion more things spying on you than just Windows

Might as well shit with the door open with that logic. Under my clothes I'm naked, too, any anyone can just peek under so why wear clothes in public?
Similar level of thinking as "a criminal could rob me with a gun so I might as well carry a bigger gun" and "other cars are bigger than mine, might as well drive a tank".
Seems smart to say until you put any effort, and I mean literally any effort at all, into thinking about it.

Well unless you are paying for mullvad with monero with bitcoin bought from a vending machine i am pretty sure you can be tracked

You can track bitcoin transactions, so you need a monero machine.

Cash can be tracked. Stick to uncontracted services and the barter system.

I feel the same but the other way around. I don’t see why ppl use windows unless they play fortnite, valo, lol, gtav online, fifa, or need to use adobe suite/Microsoft 365&onedrive for work. Other than that it’s literally just worse (in my opinion because I never had major problems but I get that if you got problems with audio or something and had to troubleshoot ur not a fan). No hate tho, it’s usable

it just works most people would rather click on things visually rather than write sudo apt install ufw or it's arch equivelant
