First gen Ryzen is unsupported? That's hilarious.

My 1800X goes like a bat out of hell for everything I need it to do and I have zero intention of upgrading it.

They can keep Windows 11.

For 4 more years, then Windows 10 is EOL.

I simply don't understand how technical users have not all switched to LTSC at this point. LTSC 2019 will receive security updates until 2029. In the future, you may have to use the IoT LTSC version to get the full 10 years of support, but I assume someone will work out how to do this (my understanding is that it is still a full version of windows, with some built in "kiosk" features).

LTSC is amazing, Windows as it should be. You can pretty easily disable any telemetry and disable unneeded features (and many of the annoying ones don't even come installed by default). I am using Linux 99.5% of the time, and I still use LTSC whenever I need to use Windows for something.

How would one actually (legally) hey ahold of an LTSC key?

I agree. Once you try it, you see that it is truly Windows 10 as it should be. Very small install, with minimum extraneous junk. Works on most, even older laptops etc. Controllable update, telemetry, etc.
