I'll soon be assembling a new PC and I need to figure out which version of Win 11 to use. I've not been able to find a good discussion of using IoT or LTSC for a "daily driver" gaming and productivity PC.

I'll want to make use of a lot of Windows features like virtualization, the ability to run Android apps, and the Linux subsystem. I don't need all the new feature updates immediately, but I also don't want to be running an antique OS... Just a debloated one.

If you've navigated these waters I would love to hear about your experience.

This isn't a one-size-fits-all solution though. OP has asked specifically for information regarding Windows and even specifically mentions Linux in the post so it's fair to say they're aware of it and choose to stay on Windows.

Correct. I know plenty about Linux and other OSes, but for this system, I'm choosing to use Windows anyway.
