1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
  •

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.

    It is 21H2. Plus I have no reason to ever upgrade. Windows 10 is better than Windows 11 IMHO. The specific reason I use LTSC is because it doesn't come with all the bloat that a normal install comes with.

    LTS version is hardened and more secure by default. But that also makes it a pain in the ass.

    If you ever do get around to upgrading and don't want the bloat, the N version is what you want. It's the European version and doesn't have any extras.

    Thanks for the tip. I haven't ran into any issues so far, but I'll keep that in mind.

    N Version is not ideal for Gaming, i tried it years ago and GTA 5 / Rockstar Launcher had issues with missing codec or something.

    [–] thisbenzingring@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 10 months ago

    Sure it is. You just have to manually install Windows Media Player and sometimes other proprietary codecs. I use Windows 11 N on my computer currently. I play games of at least 3 launchers that I can think of.

    Red Dead 2, GTA 4 & 5, I have played these games on my current system
