People need to be civil. On every platform they have shown that they can't be (or have no good reason to choose to be).
Moderation is the key, but moderation is challenging. That's why self moderation (keeping yourself civil) is very important. Which loops us back to the beginning.
I agree. I need to trust where the OS (or any software) comes from. I'd rather get a legitimate windows copy and then debloat it and turn off telemetry and other BS myself. Then I know I'm good on both counts. But apparently the IoT LTSC version is legit, not a cracked copy. This is the first I've ever heard of it.
