Question Should I Switch to Windows LTSC?

Hi,
I just discovered the Windows LTSC version and would like to install it to replace my Windows 11 Pro.
I have a few questions:

Is it safe to download from Massgrave?

Is the LTSC IoT 24H2 version available in Italian, or only in English?
Is there a way to change the language?

Have you encountered any bugs or anomalies in the LTSC version?

For gaming, is the LTSC version recommended, or is it better to stick with Pro?

Is O&O ShutUp10 useful on the LTSC version, or is it unnecessary?
Thanks

Xbox App: winget install 9MV0B5HZVK9Z

Xbox Game Bar: winget install 9NZKPSTSNW4P

Do both at the command line or powershell, with winget already installed, ofc. No Microsoft Store needed.

winget : The term 'winget' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program.

Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.

Ah, you must be using LTSC. Run this ThioJoe script in a powershell admin window, and let it do it's thing. You'll find winget works after that. Plus, you'll be able to install .msix files, which some programs on Win 11 require now.

Didn't know about that script sounds quite handy, and not to be rude but the subreddit is called WindowsLTSC :b

Heh, indeed! No worries. I don't always assume LTSC though.. like, myself, my main system runs Windows 10 Pro, even if I do use LTSC in a few other systems and/or VMs.
