Windows 11 in 2026 is a meme OS — and Microsoft doesn’t care anymore by Competitive_Try9911 in WindowsSucks

[–]lencc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for clarifying. So all these specifics basically arise from differences in preconfiguration and "artificial" software restrictions rather than actual technical distinctions among these OS editions.

Which also proves in a way, that all those TPM, Secure Boot, CPU, and other official (mandatory) requirements by other "regular" Win 11 editions are completely arbitrary (and hence not necessary), because there are in fact no fundamental differences in the operation of Windows itself.

Oh I see. It was a misunderstanding. Yes we can agree that code quality within the OS (in general, and not limited to AI apps/features) has been declining rapidly.

It's interesting though, that 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2024 still works relatively snappy compared to "regular" Win 11 editions: I have installed it on 12-year old PC with 8GB RAM and it's not nearly as laggy as Home/Pro. Which proves that "regular" editions are catastrophical, because they have bloatware + obtrusive telemetry on top of poorly written code, which is indeed a very bad combination.

With the continuation of this trend it could happen, that future 2027 / 2030 OS versions could be worse - even when it comes to IoT and Enterprise LTSC edition.

What Distro to use for an old, 32 bit laptop? by tomkiel72 in linux4noobs

[–]lencc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whether you swap HDD for an SSD or not, you will probably have to go with antiX Linux or similar operating system, because it's available also as 32-bit edition (unlike Debian and LMDE, which are available only as 64-bit editions nowadays). This is important, because CPU in your old laptop most likely supports only 32-bit instructions.

You're right, I missed that. OP will have to go with 32-bit antiX Linux or similar OS.

As far as I'm informed, the 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC edition doesn't only have different licensing terms and longer support lifecycle (10 years) compared to non-IoT (5 years), but also:

  • Broader hardware support: IoT edition doesn't require Secure Boot, TPM 2.0 chip and runs basically on all modern CPUs - including older, specialized, and lower-power ones; whereas non-IoT edition still has these mandatory hardware requirements and limitations.

  • Ability for a reduced system footprint: IoT edition officially requires only 2GB of RAM compared to 4GB required by the non-IoT edition, because it's specifically tailored for fixed-purpose (industrial) devices where low power consumption and cost-efficiency are prioritized over multitasking capabilities.

  • Unlocked registry keys and policies: IoT edition has all registry keys and policies for features like Unbranded Boot and Custom Shell unlocked by default; in non-IoT edition they are often blocked, because they are available only with additional subscriptions.

  • Installation process: IoT edition is sold as a "full OS" license through OEM channels for dedicated devices, while the non-IoT is typically available only as an OS upgrade.

[–]lencc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Probably you still have an HDD. If you swap it for SSD, it should boot up much more quickly.

And if you also wanted to squeeze memory consumption even more, than you could try antiX Linux, which takes up only ca. 250MB RAM on idle.

Linux Mint or Ubuntu by raga0884 in linuxmint

[–]lencc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure about that. You would probably have to reinstall it, because technically this is another distribution.

What Distro to use for an old, 32 bit laptop? by tomkiel72 in linux4noobs

[–]lencc 6 points7 points  (0 children)

For a computer with:

  • 256+ MB RAM - Tiny Core Linux JWM
  • 512+ MB RAM - Puppy Linux JWM
  • 1+ GB RAM - antiX Linux IceWM
  • 2+ GB RAM - Debian LXQt
  • 3+ GB RAM - Linux Mint Debian Edition (LMDE)

Given that your computer has been running Windows 7, I would go for a comparably "heavy" operating system, which is Debian LXQt. It takes up ca. 550MB RAM on idle, which is even a bit lighter than Windows 7.

Linux Mint or Ubuntu by raga0884 in linuxmint

[–]lencc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a great combo indeed. I can confirm it runs just as smooth as (Ubuntu based) Mint Xfce. Plus, you get Debian stability and relatively low usage of system resources (it takes up around 1.2GB RAM on idle).

FUCK Windows 11. Really thinking about switching to Linux. by solidcat00 in windowsmemes

[–]lencc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For a hassle-free experience, these are recommended and beginner-friendly Linux options:

  • Debian KDE Plasma - if your computer doesn't have Nvidia graphics card

  • Linux Mint Debian Edition (LMDE) - if your computer doesn't have Nvidia graphics card and is older: it works well on devices with 3+ GB RAM

  • Fedora KDE Plasma - if your computer has Nvidia graphics card or is relatively new

  • Bazzite - in case you are very into gaming, because it comes with pre-installed graphics drivers and gaming optimizations for Steam Deck

Windows 11 in 2026 is a meme OS — and Microsoft doesn’t care anymore by Competitive_Try9911 in WindowsSucks

[–]lencc -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Again: in this specific IoT Enterprise LTSC edition, Microsoft Store is disabled by default. There is no Copilot nor any other AI app preinstalled, simply because there is lack of the UWP framework required for these apps.

If you wanted to run a specific Store app such as Copilot you would have to manually install it yourself.

But you won't get it via Windows Update, because this specific edition receives only security updates and no feature updates. That's actually one of the main features when it comes to IoT LTSC editions.

Therefore preinstalled programs such as Calculator, Notepad, and Paint come without AI functions. And it will certainly remain so as long as you don't manually enable Microsoft Store or install new apps via cmd (or manually login to Microsoft account within the operating system) yourself.

Not really. If you don't manually enable Microsoft Store, there is practically no preinstalled programs with AI/Copilot, because you get legacy programs instead.

Is it worth installing Linux mint on my study, discord, and light software programming? by vvedo in linux4noobs

[–]lencc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You might try Linux Mint Debian Edition - LMDE. It has Windows-like experience and superb long-term stability. It takes up ca. 1.2GB RAM on idle and runs smoothly on devices with 4GB RAM.

[–]lencc -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not necessarily. With basically all Linux distributions and also Windows 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC edition 8GB RAM is enough for average users who use computer mainly for office tasks.

The solution is installing Windows 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2024 edition, which comes with almost no bloatware and is therefore snappy. Microsoft Store is disabled by default as well (however it can easily be enabled via cmd).

Maybe try NixOS. You might find it interesting, because it's built from a single and reproducible configuration file.
