My suggestion is Ghost Spectre Windows 11 Superlite

 

Really miss what exactly?

 

• It is too fast
• Its problems are almost zero.
• There are no fatal software errors.
• If you don't use your computer for 1 year and just hibernate it, you can run your programs without problems every time it starts.
• After installing Windows, the hardware drivers are installed by Windows itself in the best possible way, and you don't need to install even one driver manually. If your hardware is very old, there is no problem after installing Windows and it installs everything optimally.
• Almost all low version software can be installed without problem.
• You can easily install new software that can only be installed on new versions of Windows without worrying about whether or not a certain software will be installed.
• Due to the optimization done on this Windows, its speed is almost faster than other Windows.
• Better management of your HDD is performed and you will see almost no locking and hanging of your computer.

Of course, the only condition I have is that you use the LITE version of this Windows. Versions produced by experienced people.

 

GhostSpectre has new 24H2 (preview) builds, I'd gladly recommend specifically W11 LTSC (24H2-based) once it's released and optimized (in the end of 2024 hopefully)

Windows 11 is not worse than Windows 10,
once you remove annoyances like Defender and OneDrive, it's a solid system with most dependencies preinstalled,
AI crap is matter of platform optimization, I can accelerate all AI workloads on my old GTX1080Ti so my cpu idles mostly,
O365 is overrated, but I wouldn't bother going back to 2019 or other mediocre alternatives,
AI crap, just like anything else, can be disabled or even carved out of Windows itself - sure it's annoyance, but not complication enough to justify staying on (solid) 3 years old Windows 10 LTSC anymore

 

Sorry, I think that is BS. Which plugins that work in Win 8 and don't in Win 10? I don't know even one. The plugins from around 2000 work flawlessly. All. Maybe you should use a real DAW, REAPER for instance.

 

The mickeysoft OS's (post winXP) aren't nearly as much the problem as is the tons of disassociated garbage they load into them. Which is why when anyone talks about running win11 I will never recommend an OEM version for a build. Ghost-Spectre builds are the best thing going combined with the VL script to activate 'em. If you're comfortable with hacking the shit out of an OEM build it is possible to make a "lite" version from the OEM bits but it is a painstaking process.

I wouldn't get my hopes up about subsequent mickeysoft OS versions being "better". It's well documented all their shit after winXP has gotten orders of magnitude more junk-ware piled into them with each increase in version. Win11 was testament to this and I'm certain with every version number increase there will be exponentially more trash-ware to have to deal with.

Correct. The win updater sees to this task most effectively. Leave that POS win-updater service turned on, allowing it to do whatever it wants, and you will most assuredly find shit broken, reinstalled, and any user defense measures taken to eliminate telemetry and spyware communication completely reversed after a single update session. The only defense the user has against this practice is to turn that shit OFF completely and apply updates MANUALLY and only when needed. The amount of complete and utter junk that they load onto your machine every "patch tuesday" is about 99.9% UN-NEEDED.

Correct again! Mickeysoft has been doing this since win95. They make press releases that evoke the next apocalypse will visit the world unless everyone upgrades to the next version. The "end of support" dates are there to ensure the masses will comply when there is really no need to listen to their garbage at all. They are obligated to FIX and maintain any major security/operational issues that come down the pike even well after their proclaimed "EOS" dates...

Nah, hardly...Different maybe, but better only marginally. There's nothing there that would compel me to up root a perfectly working optimized win10 GS build.

Missed? Missed what exactly?

Most assuredly install a "lite" version, unless you're adept and have the time to hack a "lite" version out of an OEM build. FYI, if those lite "famous makers" are charging $$ for their ISO's, kick them to the curb - hard. I would not recommend them. Ghost-Spectre ISO's are free (you can donate if you want) and do not come with "baggage".

 

FBConan 's builds are awesome. There are other builds from other people too but this guy's builds are super.
Just go to teamos website --> Operating Systems ---> Windows 11 (x64). There are lots of ISOs provided via torrent. If you couldn't download from there just copy the name of that ISO and search it on Google or Yandex for mirrors. Currently one of LITE versions of this guy's builds has been installed on my system and in this last year I have not had any problem with it, literally nothing.

 

Thanks for the good laugh.. I enjoyed that

Now though, read through what I said again and show me anywhere I mentioned win8 :-

"Personally? I kept my Win7 setup as there are so many plugins that will not work with win 10/11 and just took an old computer box and built it with newer components for win 10.
I will not part with the win 7 machine as it's taken far too long to get it setup just the way I want it.

My advice? If there is any way you can keep both, I'd say do that!"

Now that that's been cleared that up, go back and read 3/4 of the way down on the previous page, and you will see my issue has been discussed and resolved by @taskforce.
