Linus reviewed AtlasOS, a streamlined version of Window to make old hardware faster.

He said that people will use this instead of Linux. He liked it: Their website: https://atlasos.net/faq

Linus said to check their forum discussion, but nobody seemed to like it.

Do you know who else didn't like it? Our sponsor, TechSpot, who wrote
Quote:
[W]here AtlasOS follows a questionable path is when it disables many security features which are described "bloatware."

AtlasOS disables mitigations against hardware security flaws in modern Intel (and AMD) processors like Spectre and Meltdown, following the principle that "if a security mitigation measure decreases performance, it will be disabled." As they are not crucial for gaming, standard (security) features like Trusted Platform Module (TPM), BitLocker, Windows Defender, Voice Recognition, Restore Points & System Reset are all removed as well.
They claim that it doesn't make sense to use this for gaming because all gamers use the latest and greatest hardware.

Big Negative little fellow.

Check out AtlasOS, a redesigned Windows 10 version for gamers and potato PCs

Weird how the title is "Check out..." not "Avoid..."

They also mentioned this video, where they showed how to convert an old computer into a server:
