I am writing my own debloater script in powershell, similar to these minimal Windows distributions. Ironically it already took more time than my Gentoo installation and research. My lowest result is 400MB RAM usage on Windows 10. For Linux it was 55MB in Gentoo with bspwm and custom kernel.
My friend you make very good videos, I have recommended you to all my tech savvy friends. Keep it up! As a sidenote I have a video idea, Can you try android x86 like primeOS or blissOS to make a gaming box(sounds stupid I know) but I have been playing genshin impact on PC where the game is 100GB(!) And requires powerful hardware to get good performance and visuals but supposedly doesn't need it in Android so even some crappy old laptop should be able to get good performance and visuals. Anyway I have tried myself but I wasn't able to get genshin impact to work no matter what I tried, I was able to launch a bunch of other games even the sci-fi genshin impact spinoff by the same company but not genshin impact itself. I would love to see you break it down and compare performance between running it in bottles to running it in BlissOS for example.
I had it with windows. While having a brand new laptop with win11 and IRISxe graphic built on it, after windows announcement about future AI and recall, I I decided to move on. I currently use Zorin 17.1. The installation was easy and while it support running windows software which I haven't tried yet, I prefer a native widows OS so windows programs will run with no issues. Most of my needs are related to music and video. I wonder if this Atlas OS will work with this laptop using all the 16GB ram and having compatible drivers... So, is Atlas build for old PC only or it works also on the latest windows laptop and also run latest third party software?
Excluding reactOS which is NOT usable as a Daily driver since it is a reverse engineered version of windows, how can windows can be Open source? You can strip out a lot of proprietary stuff in the userspace and replace them with FOSS software, but the kernel itself it is still absolutely proprietary. Unironically, MacOS can be Open Sourced in some way since the kernel is already open source, but Windows can't. The project is Open Source, but not the operative system itself, therefore, it's not neither free or actually open source. Feel free to use it ofc i don't care, but the only actual open source ways are Linux and FreeBSD. Windows itself is technologically, in my opinion inferior. Unix systems are modular by default and you don't even need to install the drivers
the whole point of reactos is to make an open source reverse engineering of the winnt kernel, is it not? the reactos team have worked for decades trying to make an open source, 100% compatible nt kernel, but because it is meant to be compatible with a proprietary kernel, that makes it proprietary, despite the lack of any ms code. if you could so kindly explain, maybe i might get your point here.
@@LKComputes it still has a lot of issues in terms of user experience and drivers compatiblity. The project is an amazing idea, but its development is so slow it is still in alpha after like 20 years. The OS itself feels like windows98 and I don't even want to talk about security patches. Linux and FreeBSD are the only actual free ways right now my man
I'd like to have better running games that Linux can't quite give me for a few games I have. Could you do a video on dual booting Linux Mint and a free version of Windows 10? Thanks!
good suggestion, I willl add it to my backlog, but not sure when it will happen, in the mean time you can checkout Ubuntu's official guide ubuntu.com/tutorials/install-ubuntu-desktop#6-drive-management (it has an external link to a more specific dual boot tutorial)
Atlas OS looks promising. Would have been cool to compare the resource usage and performance of normal win10 and this one. Both still look inferior to windows and linux, because sooner or later, even for atlas, you are going to need all of important software and functionality that windows ships with.
Yes, and given it installed with the bare miminum, people still need to do works/customization like Linux to make their own hardware work, my laptop won't charge through type-c on atlasOS, but usually, it will charge right after a regular Linux installation.
@@MumblingHugo The problem is that knowing what to re-enable is almost impossible, too many services with cryptic names, you are not going to find what you need. The only option is to write the debloater yourself in powershell.

Very interesting and educational video as always. Keep up the great work.
Thanks for the long term support

Thank you for your recommendation, I'll give it a try, but be aware that if it failed I may not be able to make a long enough video here
I have used NTLite to make custom ISOs from official microsoft iso.

Wait, I thought he said excluding reactOS
