    Alternatively, you can get a copy of Win 10 LTSC that doesn’t have any bloatware pre-installed.

      You can also select language English (World) and that also doesn’t have any bloat for what I’ve seen

        I have to use Adobe Creative Suite for my job. By have to, I mean have to, because I get client files that are in proprietary formats, and my RIP software is only available for PC. It doesn’t matter if I would prefer going back to XP, or even 3.1; that’s simply not an option for me professionally.

        Also, my work station doesn’t belong to me, and you can be that if I changed the OS to a linux distribution I’d be looking for a new job pretty goddamn fast.

        Windows 10 is not a decade old, it had several major release that were not marketed as new versions because the “last version ever” craze was on.

            Windows 11 was released in 2021. Like I said, Windows 10 had several major releases, so its age shouldn’t be counted from the first windows 10 (things like creators update, redstone update etc). Also, what kind of maintenance do you want besides security patches for Windows? Surely not some Cortana BS xbox game bar something something ad popup?
