Is there a good reason (other than licensing and Linux as an alternative) I shouldn't use Windows Server 202X as a Desktop OS?

You don’t need to use the Server SKU. LTSC exists. It’s basically the Server version, but without any of the Server stuff.

To be pedantic, Server 2022 is a newer build than any Windows 10 version.

For Windows 11, all editions (11, 11 Enterprise LTSC, Server 2025) are 24H2.
