Windows 7 also had telemetry and was considered as bloated, especially by the end of it's support. In fact, telemetry started appearing back in Windows XP, and as far as the bloat argument does, Service Pack 2 increased the minimum requirements so much that for a lot of people it meant turning a usable OS into an unusable one. But I'm sure you look at XP with the same rose tinted glasses that you look at 7.

As a high end gamer this is not a problem for me, a great option is to turn off startup programs through task manager however, some shouldn't be disabled with some research it is rather easy to disable some programs with a high startup impact like Steam, this doesn't mean you should never use steam, or that steam is malicious BUT when it is running in the background all of the time it will download updates which will slow your PC down significantly, and you don't want that especially on games that don't even require steam to be open.

Bro Mutahar got so much wrong here its INSANE 6:01 Mutahar I love your channel and watch your videos frequently but this is not the "worst tech advise on KZbin" TechYesCity did a whole video about ghost spectre and did a deep system analysis and found nothing harmful, he even goes to say at the end of the video its comparative of his own win 10 custom ISO he uses on his own and client machines. I have personally used it for a whole year for just gaming on my older PC and worked great w/ no issues. 15:19 there already is a light version of Windows 10 and 11 they are called LTSC edition... Its is literally on their website and there is even a FREE trial to use it. But I do agree they need to amp up their game and have a dedicated desktop gaming OS like SteamOS. 19:54 Yes this is really bad to download a custom ISO of windows, but you fail to mention that Ghost Spectre and other custom OS have tools to let you verify the hash files, Atlas and Revi OS both instruct you to download the ISO directly from Microsoft. 21:15 Yes most people who use these custom OS are on low end systems, nobody is saying to use these to login to your bank account, its just for gaming and Atlas's code is open source, you can read what each line of code does for your PC. It is very similar to the code/tools you show at the end of the video 26:50 Not only FPS but system stability stopping those annoying windows updates, oh and bypass the windows 11 minimum system requirements for older hardware. You talk a lot about Atlas in this video but did not mention at all Revision OS which has the same goal as Atlas but without breaking anything , the end result is super smooth OS that can be used as a daily driver for both gaming and productivity. and lastly, 19:06 bruh wtf happened here lol (edit this out with YT studio bro) All in all is this really worse the new windows spying tools they add in with every update? I rather put my trust in open source code to disable telemetry, copilot, bloatware, etc. TLDR: if you don't want to move to Linux just use Windows LTSC edition cuz it has no bloatware and better performance

[@APMNyhmz]

I've used ReviOS for a long time, shit just runs right and is super stable. While I do trust the way the Ameliorated system works to patch Windows I also don't really do anything besides play video games on this specific computer.

Good to see that other people might get the same experience I had, but with Windows 11.

[@copunit12]

Once windows 10 is done I'm going to be moving over the Linux due to the subscription model that Microsoft is going with. Windows died with 8 and while you can make 10 80% like 7 it's not the same. There's only like 2 games that might not work on Linux that I truly care about (and a bunch of older games) but I rather have something that won't ask for money and show me ad's every 30 seconds like what 11 is more then likely going to become.

[@UltimateDragon-ne5ui]

@@jonaut5705 Aside from games that use pretty invasive anti cheats, most should work fine out of the box on Steam using Proton. Proton is Steam's personalized version of Wine, which is a compatibility layer that translates Windows API calls into Linux API calls. Most games I tried actually run quite well under Proton, even though they are games made for Windows. You can also just use Wine directly if you want (or need to run something without using Steam), it is just more annoying to setup properly and will might require some fine tuning depending on what you are running while Proton pretty much just needs you to enable it and it will mostly just work out of the box. Again, aside from games that use invasive anti cheats (which refuse to adapt to and/or accept Linux), running games on Linux is really not as hard or annoying as most people assume it is.

If you can manage to commit, I'm really glad for you. On my main system I'm dual booting Windows 10 with Linux Mint, though I'll probably still "main" Windows 10 until they drop support for it next year. In the mean time, I've ressurected my old laptop with LM and will be learning how to navigate it through there. Though Recall by itself shouldn't be a concern for you, at least this generation. You need some bleeding edge hardware that pretty much nothing running Windows 11 right now can achieve, at least that's how I understand it.

"a little extra frames" seems to be a bit unfair toward the people who create and work on atlas or revisionOS. Both are open source on github and anyone can look at the changes they make. Optimizing does make a huge difference, especially in the low fps. And thats not even speaking about disabling anything spyware / telemetry related yet. I make my own ISOs using NTLite, i dont know why optimizing or just editing windows isos is so frowned upon but installing X version of linux (distribution) is okay. You can make whatever you want out of windows with enough research, if you dont want to rely on 3rd party providers then just do it / learn it yourself. There is ALOT of performance to be gained over just a stock windows and the experience will be generally better because you can just remove the things that annoy you. Ads in the search bar?

Especially often i saw builds by "OVGorskiy" who everybody called "OVGovnovskiy", because "Govno" means "Shit" in russian and his builds were exactly that. But i would say that the only Windows worth using are LTSC builds by Microsoft themselves, recently Windows 11 LTSC came out officialy, and it's not bad.
