I didn't realize how much consumer versions of Windows suck
I've only been using IoT LTSC versions of Windows (both 10 and 11) for a few years now, and I had to install 11 Pro on a laptop I just bought to try some things
Oh boy, what a mountain of crap that OS is
Not only it is a huge fucking billboard for MS services. Not only it doesn't let you create a local account. Not only it comes with a fuckton of shit preinstalled. But it just makes the laptop incredibly sloppy
As soon as I was done with the tests, I switched to 11 IoT LTSC and the jump in performance was incredible
Btw the laptop has an Intel 258v with 32 GB of RAM, so it's not an incredibly powerful machine but it should at least be smooth while navigating in Windows settings
