I'm trying to decide on a Windows OS for my VM, I was thinking of Windows 8.1. Is Win10 LTSC a better choice? I've been running a Win7 VM for a long time but 8.1 seems to perform better, I'm mainly worried about the telemetry pozz, is Win10 LTSC still knee-deep in it or should I stick with a Win7 VM?
XP XP Vista can be a pain in the butt, but isn't as bad as most people say.

Windows 3.1 was fine, because it was entirely optional. I spend all my time in DOS.

I do believe theres a version of windows server that comes without the gui. But yea, back when windows just used standard dos it was rather comfy.

Anyone who has actually used Windows 10 and still thinks this does not belong here.

Me too, and I unironically made Zig Forums's current logo. It doesn't mean anything.
Windows 10 is slower, uglier, less consistent, trades actually useful UIs for dumbed down mobile shit, makes things less clear and harder to read for the sake of """style""" which doesn't even look good, splits options into nonsensical locations and gives less settings because they half assed the option panels rewrite, hardcodes botnetana and Office and other stupid shit into the operating system, the whole OS starts breaking if you try to remove them (by force because they won't willingly let you remove any of it), it doesn't give you rights to things such as whether/when to install updates, and that's what I can think from the top of my head.

The good versions of windows I know of are 2000/NT , Xp, and 7 The bad versions I know of are ME Vista and 10.
I cant use XP anymore due to lack of drivers, but 7 is better anyway. I'll stick with 7 till things (software, drivers) don't work on it anymore, then probably switch to Linux/Wine .

Vista is dogshit but oh my the GUI looks classy as fuck.
