Tiny11

[Conviently]

Had a older laptop laying around so I bought an SSD and installed Linux on it and gave it to my brother for his school computer. Still amazes me how fast Linux runs and how little space it takes up.

Having apps removed to cut out bloat isn't an issue; it's a killer feature

We need a deeper dive into this please

He accomplished this by deleting all the monitoring and tracking software built in by Microsoft

After installing Tiny11, the OS just couldn't install new updates through Windows Update. Tiny11 also comes without some essential apps which you might have to redownload through the Microsoft Store.

I recommend installing a full version of Windows 11 and doing your own debloat. That way, you are less likely to delete something important or break an essential feature.

[funey]

Nah, on older hardware I highly prefer Linux.

Edit:I change my mind. Tiny11 is actually very nice for older and even newer systems.

Meanwhile Linux users with window managers

[kaksakvisagie]

Yeah. Nothing screams 'secure' like a custom OS developed by some guy you don't know.

I remember having some sick special builds of windows XP like this back in the day. I still have the special sauce install discs to this day.

I am terrified by the security concerns that a 3rd party OS clone might bring up.

Although the Tiny11 ISO offers an alternative method to install Windows 11 on less powerful hardware, there are some caveats you have to consider. First, this is an unofficial image of Windows 11, which means that Microsoft does not support it. Second, you can encounter security problems because it’s unclear the vulnerabilities that this modified version of Windows 11 opens up since many of the system components have been removed, and no one knows if anything extra has been added to the image that may be considered of privacy concern.

[HeikosTV]

Tiny11 doesn't receive any updates, and neither does the security one.

[redcrafterlppa]

Every sentence that starts with "you should uninstall windows 11" is definitely right.

[josephrodgersjogabonito]

There are so many custom isos. Just use 1803, 1809 or 22h2 and then use a custom os like xos, fox etc. Windows 11 is worse in terms of latency by far, without much more compatibility. For reference I use xos 22h2.

We don't need new features; we just need to run the new app. Damn Microsoft.
