Windows 10 LTSC is about the same impact as Vista (2006).

XP ran pretty good on a PIII 500MHz / 512MB if you kept an eye on startup bloat via msconfig.exe / autoruns.exe

XP still had major flaws security wise until SP3 came out. The solution was to keep the flaws and try to code around it without touching the foundation.

It's gotten worse because more crap on the PC to capture you as a consumer. That's why they don't call it "My Computer" anymore.

I've been using Windows 10 LTSC (1809) on my x230 for several years now and never looked back.

I also love OpenBSD as a desktop, unfortunately I need battery life and Windows is better optimized in that respect.
