I only recently found out about Tiny11. Anyone used it/turned it into a daily driver for gaming/coding/media?
I personally do not trust any modded Windows ISOs that I have not created myself.
I mean, it has a batch script you can read and run yourself.
It will work, but Tiny11 lacks a lot of things. Will be useful, but some applications you expect to work will not.
If you are tight on resources, consider keeping Windows 10 or switching to a Linux distribution.
Gaming computer, I dropped Win11 because with PiHole blocking windows analytics, the whole OS slows down. Just opening the start menu took ~4 seconds with Ryzen 5950x on an m2 ssd with 64GB of RAM. Everything was sluggish. I’m back on Arch, but there are a few BattleEye/EAC games that don’t work I’d like to play again.
That’s extremely unoptimized by Microsoft just trying to phone home, holy hell!
Again, I would suggest using Windows 10 for those. Unless I am mistaked and 10 too begins crying if it can’t see mommy Microsoft.
Nah, 10 was fine for the most part. But it already has an announced EoL.
Lol. Yeah I installed pihole and noticed how much shit the laptops and phones are sending every frigging minute, even when they are not being used.
We don’t use windows in my home though, just some people are on macs. They don’t seem to freeze or slowdown with pihole being used.
I would not recommend any windows mods like that, what they do is often overwritten by windows updates and takes you back to square one (which, unless your computer never connects to the internet, you should be installing). the better option for “light” windows is to grab an enterprise or education version of windows and set group policy to disable telemetry and various features you don’t want/need without ending up with changes that revert themselves if you go the tiny11 route, or with changes that actively compromise security if you go the atlas os route
I’d strongly suggest AtlasOS over Tiny11 once the Atlas team have finished adding 11 support- it’s really solid and does a great job of improving system stability and removing the bloatware/tracking without compromising important features and backend stuff.
Never heard of this either, thanks! Any idea how well Battleeye/EAC work on it?
They work great!! Haven’t had any issues with them on my end. :)
