Standard Windows is fully enshittified, but Windows 10 IoT Enterprise is free, supported until 2032, relatively debloated, and won’t randomly encrypt your hard drive.

Of course, you can always try out Linux.

The "archaic devices" framing of the article seems questionable to me. I don't think a device from around 9 years ago (Ryzen Gen 1) is archaic. While these are going to be low end now they often are still perfectly usable if they were somewhat higher end at the time. They don't lack anything a modern system should need, which is easily proven by Linux running on them just fine.
