If you absolutely must use windows

Download the Pro ISO from windows.

Use MicroWin to create an iso without tpm requirements and with offline installation

Use MAS and use only the Enterprise edition. You might need to upgrade to Professional first.

Then use WindowsDebloater to tailor it to your liking.

Unfortunately that requires a full reinstall, I wish there was a way to upgrade from 10 pro to 10 enterprise.

Is Windows Enterprise LTSC a good idea?

As good as it gets, if you can't get around using Windows.

It's fine. It's mostly crap-ware free, and it's more stable than other versions. It's Long-Term-Stable-Channel, it's used by corporate, so it doesn't change frequently. It still gets security updates but not the latest BS, like Recall, and on-by-default Bitlocker. It also doesn'tt require a MS account during setup.

System latency, weird USB drivers that don't play nice with my audio deck, video drivers won't be kept up to date and compatible soon for gaming cards as it's meant for commercial applications. Also fuck windows.

I’ve had a Mac for over 10 years, still runs like the day I got it. Sure I can’t play games on it, but does absolutely everything else perfect for me.

I have a ten year old one which works fine with OpenCore Legacy Patcher.

Support for 2015 macs ended 7 months ago. Forget 10 years ago, my 2015 mac doesn't run like it used to in Big Sur.

That’s unfortunate for you I guess.

I thought Apple started the stopping support of Intel Mac's a couple of years ago? If you had the newest Intel from 5 years ago, support is supposed to end this year.

That’s great, but what does it have to do with the topic?
