I haven't looked at Tiny10/11 in a long while actually. I remember it not really working that well, although maybe it still was in beta back then.

iot would be the far better choice over using one of the debloaters or minimized installers.

10 is EOL, so I wouldn't use it anymore tbh

10 still receives free updates, LTSC will have support for some time after and IOT I think until 2030.

But Debian will work in a fucking toaster for the next forever, so there's that.

Debian 12 has support for 32 bit and security updates until 2028.

So really not reaching 2030 for that toaster, but better than any multi trillion company

IoT is supported until 2032

The thing is those are just security updates, most software will work for the time being, but it only been a year and some newer DX12 games already having issues with 10 unfortunately.
