massgrave can activate 3 years ESU on regular Enterprise for people who want things IoT LTSC is missing, like WMR. I've got Enterprise alongside Bazzite and when the updates run out I'll either switch to IoT LTSC or nuke Windows altogether.

    Same, I've got a headset on WMR and it's basically trash if I have to update to Win 11.

    you guys might be interested in this, then:

    Oasis is a Windows 11 driver for SteamVR for VR headsets of the Windows Mixed Reality family, such as the HP Reverb, Samsung Odyssey, Lenovo Explorer, or Dell Visor. This driver does not require the Mixed Reality Portal application and is therefore compatible with the latest versions of Windows 11 (24H2 and future).

    Chiming in to say oasis not only made my WMR kit work without Mixed Reality Portal Garbage, but it’s more responsive and tracks better with it. It’s incredible. I’m on 10 LTSC IoT which Oasis’s doesn’t technically support and it works flawlessly. Amazing.

    I love you, Oasis dev.

    This is false. The latter is, anyway. I am running 11 IoT LTSC on my main gaming rig and WMR is still supported. The key is, you cannot install a version any newer than 23H2. There are third party tools available that will block Windows from attempting to "upgrade" you to a new feature release which breaks WMR. My Reverb G2 is still working fine.

    ...For now. WMR support on a fresh install is still reliant on a Windows Store download which Microsoft will probably cease providing at some point if they haven't already.
