From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Half this guide is disabling unwanted features that come as a result of choosing Windows 10 home.

Why not run LTSC 2021and then MAS instead?

As a benefit you get access to group policy, which I would argue is not an unwanted feature if you want greater control over the OS. Lots of options are locked there.

You could also pay for a license instead, but considering the guide doesn't, this will make it equivalent.
