Installed Win11 IoT LTSC two days ago. But I am not planning to boot into it anyway, if I dont have to.

You say that, but I'm pretty sure one of the common tools to create a bootable usb drive has a simple tickbox to disable that requirement. I can't remember the name off the top of my head, maybe someone can help there

After enrollment, you can log off and go back to a local account.
But yes, its a scummy move to force people to use an MS account, to get security updates.

Its Rufus: https://rufus.ie/en/
But I am not sure if this creates problems later on when you use a regular "consumer peasant" Win11 version. If you want to be on the safe side....go for the IoT LTSC Versions (win10 or 11)

Windows 11 is starting to look like nowadays Windows Vista or is it just me lol. Is it flopping? I haven't paid much attention to this.

Why? New UI and more data gathering? There are legit reasons why folks are not rushing towards W11.

I've never had an issues after the fact using that and really you are better off clicking all of those checkboxes. I hate the fact that out of the box Windows 11 forces you to sign in with a Microsoft account.

What version do you use?

I've always use the Pro version so W11 Pro. I don't think it matters though.

I would like to do the same, but I am on Nvidia. The performance regression with RT/PT is simply not worth it. But once that gets sorted out I'll switch.

Nah, its not flopping. Will be as good (or bad) as Win10, just with more bloat, telemetry and AI crap....no one ever asked for. Its just this time now, where everyone is being forced to "change" their OS for literally no reason. Additionally you have these weird prerequisites, making lots of people thinking they have to buy a new pc. Ofc everyone is pissed.

Really that's the only major roadblock for Linux gaming these days. Getting a 9070 XT cheap made it easy for me so if not for that, I'd be right there with you. I still have a Windows partition on a second drive but I rarely have a need to boot it up. That's on my gaming desktop though (I have Arch Linux as my default there as well). My daily driver is Steam OS on Legion Go S.

I updated my work laptop a few weeks ago. Now when I wake it up from sleep, roughly every 3rd time it will have disconnected from the network and I have to open command prompt to release and renew my IP address. It's not a big deal, but I don't need or want anything 11 has to offer other than security updates. If I can leave my 3 home machines on 10 for another year, I'll just do that.

The fun part is when Windows 11 periodically forces you to run setup again to make sure you have applied certain default settings like using Bing for search and Edge as your browser.

Microsoft kinda fucked themselves by making Win11 require 1 billion computers in the world be replaced to run it. Cause no one gonna fucking do that lol
Enjoy supporting Win10 until 2035 or even beyond because 1 billion perfectly working computers didn't get replaced for your arbitrary and stupid and greedy requirements!
