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.

I use CachyOS on my gaming rig and it has been outstanding. The only ting that doesn't work is the EA app.

I don't know about fitgirl specifically, I don't actually pirate a lot of games.

Check out Maxima as a replacement for the EA app.

Oh nice, I'll give this a shot! I tried installing the EA app through Lutris — it worked, but I can't install any games.

This looks great, I have EA via Bottles currently for BF3/4 would love to switch to this. Totally get why it doesn't support BF3, BF3 using a browser launcher for the PC version was insanely stupid
