Would like to know what you think about the title.

It is worth to debloat LTSC 2021?
 
There's less to debloat in LTSC, it's already missing the consumer features and doesn't get any feature updates during it's support lifecycle. That said, most users ironically want to add Store or Xbox apps to LTSC.

Never understood why people hate the store. It has a few good apps I use from it. Kinda like everyone hating edge but I enjoy both lol
 
You hate Store, until someone puts a game on Xbox Game Pass. /shrug

Or have no use for them
Me, I integrate the apps I need into the image, never used the Store and it never missed me (everyone has their own uses)

The reason people don't like the MS Store is its aggressive data reporting ("phoning home"). If you accept that, you might as well leave all telemetry enabled and use Chrome as your browser anyway.
 
All free stuff doesnt need the store as far as I am aware, can be installed manually, but the paid stuff on the store, I think needs it for licensing, which is a shame as is one app on there I want. But cant find myself to install the store on my desktop just for that. Examples are modern nvidia control panel, and the WFM codecs.

Further comment, a couple of days ago since I wanted to try and fit everything back on wim again instead of ESD, I did what I felt was an aggressive debloat for myself, bear in mind for me aggressive is not much stuff for me, as I am quite paranoid about things breaking and feel I need most of the default components, in the end it only saved 150MB of the ISO and still needed ESD, it lost me manual setup/reset functionality, mixed virtual reality, some old 3rd party storage drivers, but even with only those few things removed, my laptop now wont auto sleep when lid is closed. So the next ISO for me will reverse that change, and I just get used to ESD, although I am about to move to doing a Win 11 ISO as I will be upgrading to that on my new laptop, and then later this year on my main PC.
