Microsoft EEEs Open Source.

From a quick search, Ubuntu LTS releases are supported for 5 years as a baseline, and Ubuntu Pro goes up to 12 years. RHEL releases are supported for 10 years.

I'm guessing it's similar with SUSE and other "business" distros.

I was wondering how many people would take my comment seriously. Looks like at least 5 people.

I don't think there's anything nefarious going on here but to someone just quickly looking over the page it has the impression of being an official Microsoft project, given the gratuitous use of their trademark and zero mention of it being a "community" effort.

Ok, but the brief README links to an actual microsoft.com domain (https://www.microsoft.com/store).

Why would you need a package to wrap a website? Wouldn't the website be accessible on a LTSC build, even if the official package isn't available?

If this is filling a highly useful role that I'm admittedly oblivious to, why are there only three commits in the project history?

(Best I can tell, this is a personal project that somehow made it to HN front page)

I considered that on my new gaming PC, but I installed Arch and it plays every game that I care about just fine.

Using LTSC to avoid bloat is like removing the chairs and radio from your car to reduce weight. My experience with Win 10 LTSC was not terribly faster than Windows 10 Home, and night-and-day slower compared to a GNOME or KDE setup.

I suppose it's a fair play if you're contractually obligated to play Riot-published games or something, but... man. I've had better performance playing games on DXVK since 2016. Windows is a heavy hog.
