If you’re too lazy to switch to Linux like me, Windows 10 Enterprise IoT LTSC is supported until 2032 and free to download and permanently license.
Might not be a bad idea to start learning on a separate device though, so you'll be ready when 2032 hits.
(That's my current setup)
This is my plan. Going to do my first Linux install on my old laptop to learn and then go full Linux once I feel I've got a good idea of what I'm doing.
Can't risk screwing it up as I'm self employed and need everything to work
Most of us (normal people) are on Windows 11 and happy with it. The majority of those that aren't are holding out due to the hardware requirements. -Shock to conspiracy theorists.
Thank you MicroSlop Bot 8000. Nice comment
I'm on Windows 11 for work and am not happy about it. They took away my 2-level taskbar, among other regressions.
Just dual boot. No need for a separate device.
