ltsc is fine but i have some issues with it:
1.App support will be like windows 10,fine for legacy or apps that dont get alot of updates but bad for newer apps (on windows 10 ltsc iot)
2.Your using a version of Windows that isnt designed to be used on a home pc
3. you cannot install microsoft store apps without workarounds,only exes from random websites(should be fine for most people ngl)
tho i do use it but mainly only for flashing roms.
your better off using a Linux distro open source,better in the long run and will support more only Windows apps(that dont need deep windows dependencies) with wine aswell as those windows apps having a native Linux version.
and Linux has better privacy on most distros.
It is still a fully fledged x86-64 Windows. You can install literally any program designed to work on Windows, legacy or not.
It is still Windows, only they have stripped out everything non essential for reliability for high uptime, think ATM machines. This would be like saying Gentoo or Arch isn't designed to be used on home PCs.
You can install the MS App Store and Xbox app, and others should you want to. It just doesn't come with them. I have switched all my friends to this Windows and half of them use it with Xbox Games Pass, and one like the ease of getting everything from the MS App Store.
The common person might not want to use Linux for any number of reasons. This is as good as it can get for those who do not want to switch. Not wanting to switch is fine, and shouldn't be shamed.
For privacy since it's an Enterprise version, you can disable all built in telemetry. It just takes some entries in things like group policy and registry editor.
