If you can’t/ won’t upgrade to Linux, at least upgrade to Tiny10. TinyXP is still getting updates. The “Tiny” versions of Windows rip out all the extemporaneous crap that Microsoft put into Windows that makes it a bad OS
AFAIK, there won’t ever be a Tiny11 distro, there’s just too much shit to rip out of the registry to make that possible
First I’m hearing of Tiny10 and starting to consider my options for jumping ship on windows. Anyone willing to give a short rundown/ weigh their opinions of linux/windows/other OSes. Video games are the main factor for me, with user control a very close second.
Nothing beats Linux if you’re want control over your system. As for gaming though, you can check this website to see whether your games are compatible or not: https://www.protondb.com/
And if your games are compatible, then look no further than Bazzite - it’s a gaming-optimised distro that just works out-of-the-box, no need to manually install any drivers and stuff (you can of course use it for non-gaming tasks too).
AtlasOS is a team of people who try to minimize the amount of Microsoft bloat and trash on fresh installs of Windows 10/11.
If you aren’t ready to run another OS AtlasOS is a good middle ground.
The web page is a little off putting as it’s marketed towards gamers, but overall the script they include to reduce the trash is really good.
I don’t use my PC for games much, but the overall OS is much faster. Feels snappy like Windows 7 did, but it’s nice and modern, and it still receives regular windows updates/security updates.

Also worth checking AreWeAntiCheatYet? if you play online games. Some work with Linux, some need elbow grease, others purposefully break it.
Just install endeavourOS or something.
There’s a learning curve and a few games will break, but it is a much less hostile environment.
