I only recently found out about Tiny11. Anyone used it/turned it into a daily driver for gaming/coding/media?

    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.

        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.

          I work with some servers on an air-gapped network, when you first click the start menu after a reboot it can take a couple of minutes to let you do anything.

    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.
