Read from other posts that a win10 ameliorated unofficial build exist.

Seems functional and depends on how much you trust the guys behind it. (or compile your own)

Another option is to buy a ltsc win10 license (if you can find it cheap online)

Thanks for posting this -- hadn't heard of it!

I use the Windows Insider program to run legitimate Windows, and used a bunch of debloat/decrapify programs from Github to try to remove the worst offenders. But damn does Windows Defender and some of the other stuff really ream my resources, and there doesn't seem to be any easy way of permanently disabling them =(

I'd never heard of an "LTSC" Windows either. Interesting.

EDIT: Ahh it says there's no support for DirectX12, only Vulkan?

I don't know much about this stuff -- I thought it was a software SDK you could just install. But if not, that seems like a pretty huge con:
