I've just recently moved over to 11, because Windows 10 is going EOL in 2025. I needed to switch at some point anyways, so I might as well get it over with. I'm wondering if consumers can get access to LTSC releases of Windows though. Perhaps some form of enterprise edition, if LTSC editions aren't publicly available.
The problem being of course that I can't move from my precious Ableton Live and I really don't want a MacBook. Before I installed 11 I tried it under wine, using Bazzite no less. Could've gone with a more music centric distribution, but everything points towards it not being stable for live usage - like at all, even with WineASIO. Couldn't get the Push to register, and the buffer was hammered with just a little bit of processing. So, yeah...
My old Windows 10 install was Atlas OS, but now I'm trying Revision OS for 11. It must be doing something right for Windows Defender to quarantine one of it's files. High praise from Caesar indeed. Revision is also a light modification, whereas Atlas OS pretty much nukes all the things - with varying effects and successes. In the end, they are community projects that obviously ruffle Microsoft's feathers. So, yeah...
It's a question of how to make a music workstation by choosing the right windows edition, or how to hack at the system until Microsoft limbs are gimped. Also, I don't think I'll need a printer spool. In any case, it's a pain in my arse that I now also have to find a way to nuke Copilot. That will surely just wreck my buffer absolutely. "But you could use it for music creation"... what's the fun in that?
In any case, please list your favourite key reseller sites. I might need to go shopping for something special, and Pro might not cut it.
Could you run fossilized and sandboxed in a VM? I run Tiny10 for a couple Windows applications that can't run on Wine, completely offline so that there's no need for updates. The system continues to work exactly how I want it to with no Microsoft Surprises.
One of the applications is for tax filing, so I finish the taxes, clone the VM, put the copy online and file. After it gets confirmation, I copy the database back to the fossilized version and wipe the copy. Been doing it for years now.
This is probably the best approach. You could pass thru relative USB ports and even a GPU to do things on the Windows VM that you can't do in Wine.
But how does that work? Isn't windows rigged to discover if you're running it in a VM to go "sowwy :( but this is an enterprise feature. Money please~!"
Might be something patched in Tiny10 but it even activated fine for me with the usual hack and hasn't caused any problems. I had to take it online momentarily on install to activate, but that was all.
