If you have to use Windows 10, is there a single reason

Education exists

>>60531038
Because LTSB is placebo. It still communicates with Microsoft. And you're not supposed to own that version unless youre a business.

>>60531056
Still have Cortana, Edge and the App Store, so why the fuck use that?

>>60531070
>you're not supposed to own that version
lol

>>60531097
You can disable them all in group policy editor

>>60531070
what if im in the business of playing games?

>>60531038
LTSB 2015 does not work on Pacsal GPUs and 2016 is trash.

>>60531056
It's a glorified Pro edition. Complete junk.

>>60531097
It's supposed to have none of those

>>60531038
it doesnt have the xbox app/services for streaming game/video , if you are into that.

>>60531038
When you see someone shitposting about LTSB here, you can be almost sure that faggot use a trial version as anon&co don't have 300 shitposting rig to buy enterprise edition. Of course some kind of wageslaves excluded.

>>60531498
Why would anyone pay for Windows in the first place???

>>60531535
Good point, but MS expect some money for their crap. :^)

If you absolutely have to use windows then just use windows 10 enterprise. No reason to be a turbo autist with LTSB. Or even windows 7.

>>60531585
Thats why they datamine your harddrive and have ads embedded in the OS.

>>60531623
I'd rather use 7, but MacroNigger sabotages newer processors. I already do my usual computing/shitposting/banking on my Ubuntu partition.

>>60531038
not available to everyday user/Have to pirate.
To be honest I'd rather pay $500 for a good LTSB version than free Home Edition.

>>60531342

No, it was supposed to not have Cortana, rest was here from the start.

Edu however now DO have Cortana again, since latest patches makes her more integrated into search function. Setting up proper group policy disables her as usual.

Same for Store and all apps - one policy and they are gone (Enterprise only and Edu is tweaked Enterprise).

And Edge is actually comfortable for reading pdf files. At least thats the sole purpose I use it for.

>>60531675

>but MacroNigger sabotages newer processors

You can do workaround in form of installing 7 on another PC, running sysprep command to switch it to "first launch" mode, plug HDD into new PC with latest CPU and it wont complain. But that takes time. Just saying.

>>60532699
Or just use WSUS offline

>>60531038
I like to be randomly presented by a whole new interface when booting up my rig

>>60531341
What's wrong with 2016? Just upgraded from 2015, I see no major differences

>>60531038
Moral high ground
Not wanting to risk a copyright fight against Microsoft

>>60532920

It's some bullshit /g/ spouts because they're trying to be anti-Windows 10 and lost their Pascal excuse for 2015.

>>60531498

Holy shit are you retarded?

>>60531038
New /g/ don't know how to pirate Windows and Windows software.

>>60531038
LTSB is perfect for my laptop, which is a core2duo with 2gb RAM. Runs silky smooth, about on par with Xubuntu with XFCE

>>60532670
Not that I've tried it, but how2geek said, "Windows 10 LTSB omits a lot of the new stuff in Windows 10. It doesn’t come with the Windows Store, Cortana, or Microsoft Edge browser."

You're saying it does come with the store and Edge.

>>60532920
32-bit float audio is busted, it starts clipping after you pause/resume for 30 seconds and the only fix is to completely stop the playback on every program open. Scroll in File Explorer is horribly laggy (I have an Intel 530SSD and a 3770k, scrolling in a folder with high-res pictures is nearly impossible). And there's other issues such as context menu inconsistencies, the old resolution settings removed, etc. Also a weird issue in which any interaction with the immersive UI (wich means start menu, settings application, etc) ramps up the GPU to highest clock speeds (in P0). I noticed this problem on a system with two 780ti and another one with a Titan Pascal.

Yeah, LTSB2016 is complete trash. A bugfest. 2015 has many bugs, but it's nowhere near as bad as 2016. I can imagine things are just getting worse, next LTSB (in 2018) will most likely be even worse than 2016 one. I know 1703 is a lot worse than 1607. It's more and more a dumbed down mobile OS. With a lot of bugs to top it all.

>tfw you will eventually be have to install a more recent version of windows than 7

>>60534392
Or just hold on to 7 for as long as possible (look at XP, developers supported it till this year for the most part, and it still has support from Mozilla for Firefox 52 for a year or more) then just switch to Linux. I know that's what I'm going to do.

>>60531038
Next release in 2019.

>is there a single reason to not use LTSB?

Doesn't get the latest updates often.

>is there a single reason to not use LTSB?

It's Windows 10, that's more than enough reason to avoid it at all costs whether those are just your lifespan being wasted or actual out of pocket monetary costs.

I mean really, nobody HAS to use Windows 10, not anyone on the fucking planet, ever.

>inb4 you maggots try to rationalize using Windows 10

W10 is a service therefore old versions become outdated. Hell, you can't even use the new Nvidia/AMD drivers on the first W10 version from 2015. And LTSB is even worse with that because it never gets feature updates, and the new versions possibly won't even be released for years. For example there is no 2017 version and the 2016 is gonna become outdated soon since Creators Update is out. As >>60531623 said, use regular Enterprise. You can find clean iso's with DuckDuckGo, since Google is censoring torrents

>>60536595
Shitty advice. LTSB is the only usable version of 10. It's still trash compared to 7, but not the same level of trash compared to CBB versions of 10.

LTSB is usable of all windows 10 and trash like 8.1 /7.

People who spill this bullshit never tried but it is funny how nobody here don't know to activate LTSB with open source KMS.
>>60532981
This , /g/ is full of /v/ and newfags.
All LTSB users from here wants to avoid botnet but they install russian one from mdl.

>>60537178
I use LTSB 2016 on a daily basis, it's garbage. 7 is objectively a superior OS.

>>60537194
LTSB 2015 is the only good LTSB.

Windows 7 already feels ancient after using 8.1 and 10 for a long time.

Now I am free from winshit so I don't care anymore.

Windows Subsystem for Linux is not supported in LTSB 2016

If you define modern as buggy, maybe you've got a point

>>60534269
I've been using ltsb 2016 for over two months now and haven't had any of the issues you've listed

>>60537277
They're there. They're present on Server 2016 as well. Both on vanilla installs and fully updated.

>>60537232
But I'm using it right now

>>60537277
Same

>>60531038
My PC has Windows 10, strictly used for work, gaming, and music making. I do not download random shit or do anything sketchy on it

My laptop on the other hand....
