Probably worth to take a look https://atlasos.net/

All that website says is some vague description about what it is without saying what it is and a downloadable and download counter. Awful website.
"A modification of Windows, designed for gamers."

"Performance: By Removing unnecessary components, disabling power-saving features, and optimizing services."

"Privacy: By eliminating Microsoft's notorious tracking, pre-installed apps, and bloatware, you can feel confident when using Atlas."

I use this on my gaming PC. Works well for me.

Sounds like a gaming and privacy focused modification of windows based on my read of the FAQ

Do you run this? I’m curious what your experience (and others) are with it.

I have a Pop!OS box and it was a little work to set up. I was mostly pleased with the result, though. Steam experimental Proton had a wide range of my games library compared to regular Proton. I did run into major bugs running some of those games, but it was good for scratching a nostalgia itch.

Thank you, I will take a look at this if I ever need to go back.
