I know /g/ prefers Linux over Windows but for the people that are still stuck using Windows, I'd recommend Windows 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC. It's the Windows edition that's used mostly on kiosks and embedded devices so you have way more control over it to the point you can disable updates and root out a ton of telemetry plus you can uninstall edge without any hacky methods. You can find ISOs + Activation scripts for Windows and Office in the urls below:

If you're switching over from Linux I'd recommend woeusb since it automates the entire flashing process.
