Isn't that just the LTSC version?
Perhaps, but how do you buy a copy for your family at home?

It's been a long time, but when I built my Win 10 machine (~2016) it was possible to purchase an "OEM" install disc on Amazon. I believe that's the LTSC version. I do see one for Win 11, but the product listing is several years old now, so who knows? https://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-Windоws-Pro-OEM-DVD/dp/B09M...

OEM versions of Windows are just copies with license terms dictating that they are to be installed on and tied to a specific new PC, as opposed to a full retail license that is not tied to a specific PC and may be transferred to a different machine. What you have linked to is quite clearly Windows 11 Pro, not Windows 11 Enterprise and certainly not Windows 11 Enterprise LTSC.
edit: replied to the wrong person, but leaving it here anyway, it's just about as visible I think.

What is windows actually good at? I bought a computer with it pre installed a copy a few years back and it seemed like just an upsell into Microsoft’s ecosystem and random other ads. Everything was slow, barely responsive you could just feel the code bloat. After a few hours I just gave up and installed a Linux distro. Are people really putting up with this en masse as consumers?

Domain control and group policies, unfortunately. Crucial for enterprises.

>What is windows actually good at? The only reason for me still running Windows is for games. But even that is changing rapidly nowadays. I'm still on Win10, even though it's EOL. I should upgrade, and if I do, I'll upgrade to some Linux distro, not Win11.
Lots of good distros out there, many that are gaming forward as well, though.

cdw sells lot of diff key options, LTSC IoT used to be offered fairly reasonably, I don't know if they still do. edit: replied to the wrong person, but leaving it here anyway, it's just about as visible I think. https://www.cdw.com/search/software/operating-systems/window...

Stable environment for new hardware where everything works out of the box.
