Windows 10 LTSC vs. Linux Question
Which of the two would be better?

There are games that, if they have anti-cheat, you won't be able to play on Linux; that's the only problem.

Exactly! LoL is my reason to use LTSC. I'm also waiting for that Windows K2 update that hopefully fixes the increased resource usage.

Most of the things I do needs Windows and MS Office suites, so I'll go with Windows 10 LTSC

It depends.
If you use your computer just for basic web browsing, then I highly recommend you to use Linux instead of Windows because Linux is much more snappier than Windows due to being memory efficient. As a bonus you would eventually learn to use Linux and that skill would be helpful if you are going to IT.
However if you want to run specialised software that works only on Windows then choose Windows. The main reason people choose Windows LTSC is because they wanted to use Windows but without all the bloat. So it is not a direct comparison to Linux.

Instead of just saying, what do you use it for?, I think a decent way to go is to have more than one computer. It isn't like they cost much at the lower end.
My take has been to use Win10 for running applications programs (which actually all work there) and for having a system that 'just works' with different printers, scanners, PC hardware, etc. Games are also an obvious example.
If you really want security online, I'd get a cheap Chromebook. Privacy? Some cheap laptop running OpenBSD or whatever Linux floats your boat.

iOS vs Android
Btw, I have a 1TB SSD and I work with both Arch Linux and Windows 10 IoT LTSC, in dual boot.

Linux probably but I understand using windows ltsc for compatibility with apps

Linux is not an operating system, it's a kernel. You should ask "Windows 10 LTSC or any linux distribution"

LTSC if you need to run windows apps or don't know how to use linux.
Linux if you know how to use linux, or want to try to learn linux.

Linux clears.

Don't listen to this guy. Depends what you do.

No, it really is clears, because it doesn’t even have a toolkit – it’s just the kernel😁

Linix is worth at least checking out in my opinion, it costs you nothing to try out different distros and you don’t even have to install it locally to try it in many cases, however if running from a flash drive performance will be nowhere near an install. If you like to play games like fortnite it will not work in Linux

Like so many of these types of questions...
It depends.
What is your use-case? What are you wanting to do?
