not including PowerToys inside basic package is a fucking choice. Win11 is literally unusable without it in many aspects.

Sysinternals is also a great tool. Not as vital for the average user though.

I suspect it's in line with big tech policies to coddle end users instead of educating or trusting them. I assert (particularly since the introduction of the iPhone in 2007) that learned helplessness is built into the game plan.

My dad used to say Apple is evil exactly because of that - they make stuff for people who want fancy shit but have little to no interest in actual tech.

I would argue windows 11 is pretty much unusable regardless

LTSC is probably usable but if the base is so broken - i wonder if LTSC is still as good as Win10 LTSC.
