I know there's no true "drop in" replacement, but is there anything that comes close?bonus points if it supports shit like PowerPC and MIPS.
gentoo
prolly debian. but not for those retarded reasons. the whole point of ltsc is no bloat and it works for "mission critical" shit, with no nonsense "features" pushed on it

>>106989388>What's the Linux equivalent of this?Mint
>>106989388In what imaginary world is Windows 10 "lightweight"?

Redhat / Alma / Rocky
>>works most of the time without any hiccupsThere is no equivalient
Why are these shit tech support threads allowed? How about kys op.
>>106989388If you dont already know the answer, you're out of your depth and need to stay on windows ltsc or get ready for a learning curve
>>106989388ubuntu lts, debian lts,mintthe whole idea of 'years of support' is retarded tho and is a dumb way to think about software updates/changes. jumps between major versions are seamless and often unnoticeable in most. i changed my system from fedora 42 to fedora 43 and if i wasnt looking at the version numbers and some tiny details that changed in the DE i wouldnt be able to tell if im on 43 or 42. for all intents and purposes software support is indefinite
>>106989388this shit is literally just windows 10 enterprise without the preinstalled apps and longer supportsame for iot ltscand its frozen on 21h2, we dont know if in the future software will only end up supporting windowsn 10 22h2
MINT MINT MINT
>>106989388Probably just Ubuntu or something like that. You could use Kubuntu for a simliar windows-like layout.
>>106990930>t. still uses python 2.x based software
>>106989388>>works most of the time without any hiccups>>comes with only the basics after the installation OR allows you to do a minimal install as an optionDevuan. It's Debian without systemd.>>5 years of support minimumDebian stable gets at least 3 or 4 years of security updates.>>requires a slight amount of tech knowledge to use, but normies can still learn it without trouble>>lightweightDepends on the desktop environment you select. Try MATE or XFCE.
>>106989388Debian>>106989837>>106992270Would be Windows 7 equivalent
>>106989388RHEL or SUSE not sure about 5 year support part
