As usual, LTSC is the answer.
Yes LTSC is the way!
Supported until 2027 or 2032 with the IoT version. I use the IoT LTSC as a daily driver for everything and it’s perfect

Can you link something official saying that? Like documentation or CEO saying that.

#13We started switching to macOS ARM this year (using the same Office365 and Intune for MDM) and yeah, there were a few hiccups here and there, but in general happy to be off Windows 11 (in time for our W10 devices to ease into EOL) and don't think we could be happier any other way.
In the budget end the new MacBook Airs are about the same price as the low end Dell laptops we used to buy, and on the higher end the MacBook is competitive price for price but in all cases the quality is better per dollar.
Be careful - if you want 3 screens you have to go with MBP M3 Pro as a minimum.

#14I wonder if this could be classified as an environmental crime? Microsoft are forcing to e-waste a considerable percentage of the world's computing devices, and forcing new devices to be built and consumed. And for no reason other than to force people onto Windows 11. Corporations MUST be held responsible for these actions. If not at the legal level then there must be divestment of Microsoft shares by investment grou…
Microsoft isn’t forcing anything to be e-waste. They’re dropping support for what will be a 10 year old OS. You’re not forced onto Windows 11.
You just won’t get support or security patches. While people should upgrade, industries will still keep w10 around for a long time, just like they do with XP, 98, NT4, etc.

Huh?
This statement does not make any sense.

#17The only Windows box I have is an AMD-based gaming rig and last time I checked the hardware isn't Windows 11 compatible. Time to check out how the gaming experience on Linux is these days.

Apple did the same with Mac OS X, they stuck with it for 16 releases. Then Big Sur came out as MacOS 11.
But macOS is a free update and compatibility within X was just as likely to break. So other than marketing nothing changed.

Three screens - one internal, two external - is possible on Macbook Air M through DisplayPort adapters.
While Apple say it's not officially supported it does work.
My work setup is 2x 24" + laptop on the side.
