Absolutely insane! I needed a fresh machine to test something so i installed Windows 10 LTSC IoT on a 13 year old machine (processor, mobo, RAM, PSU… the video card was updated and it has some SATA SSDs.)
The install took less than ten minutes and I was in. Cracking took five minutes, and ninite took a minute or two to install all my software.
I haven’t used winget! I’ll look it up hahaha. It also doesn’t seem to support WMR, which MS is killing anyway… but it’s supposed to work until later this year at least! I want it working because I don’t like using my index to play rhythm games cuz I don’t wanna smash it, but I can be more carefree with my WMR kit I got for less than 200USD… I think it needs the M$ store to download, but LTSC IoT doesn’t come with that and I don’t want it.
The most annoying thing is that users from Europe get to skip most of this. No privacy option nagging, no OneDrive nagging.
I could do what you did in 40 minutes, including the updates (no idea why yours took 40 minutes, I’d say about 20 for a fresh install).
So it is possible, but it’s Microslop so…

My only real complaint about IoT was its complete lack of support for winget out of the box.

There’s a way to “sideload” it (not technically side loading) but it’s quite annoying.
