It’d take a fresh install, but W11 IoT Enterprise LTSC is how all current Windows should be. Only has Edge + Defender.

You can find it on massgrave.dev

So far every streaming option for Oculus Quests have the option to choose h264 or h265, and now AV1, and I assume eventually h266. Lossless if using USB-C.

Winget makes fresh Windows installs much less painful!

Just incase it helps anyone: For the 11 IoT LTSC, to use winget you first have to install 2 packages via power shell. First: VCLibs.x64.14.00.Desktop.appx Then: DesktopAppInstaller_********.msixbundle

Ok.

It feels snappy enough to me. I dunno about fans though, as I set mine in UEFI/BIOS.

Just adding that 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC is also super solid and great for gaming, no bullshit installed, just Edge + Defender. I disable Edge- instead of uninstalling- with a tool that just breaks it, since Edge always gets installed again eventually.

I got it from that same site, been problem free for months now. I only went with 11since my 5800X3D is still fairly new.

Edit: Fine, no bullshit other than Edge + Defender.

Currently Deadlock.

Correct, for Linux atm it’s mainly app image only for v3 versions.

Edit: for anyone using any app images, I highly recommend Gear Lever to manage them, including updates.

I like Zen so much I stopped browser hopping. It has sane defaults, vertical tabs default, and it’s x64_v3 optimized speed is nice. Default theming is nice, too.

Pipewire can adjust the sample rate on the fly to match what all is playing, so maybe if there is a hypervisor that can do the same?

+1 for Cachy, its Arch with cheat codes for speed.

I’ve had a lot more success using Bottles over Lutris. Being able to see a list of all possible Windows dependencies and being able to 1 click install any of them is aces. The default Gaming Bottle itself is very good, but I’m not sure how their own custom runner, Soda, performs.

Yea I re-read your post and realized my info was no good. Why I deleted it.

You can install all the M$ Store and Xbox apps. Afterwards the XBox app will tell you all the other apps missing and a 1 click button to install each. It’s just a nice clean blank slate to start with. It doesn’t even have .net or vcredist installed.

What missing feature sets?

Edit: I myself install 2 needed dependencies to get Winget running after a fresh install. One has to do with UWP.

Just doing the lords work and spreading the news of W11 IoT Enterprise LTSC. It only has Defender and Edge; no Xbox, App Store, Copilot, nor Recall, or any other bloat. Perfect for gaming. Don’t waste your time looking for it on sites like massgravedotdev.

I wish they would let us arrange those bottom 3 buttons, again. Having back arrow on the far left is silly when its the most used out of the three.

Isn’t Israel’s dirty little money fingers in damn near every nook and cranny of all of the USA’s federal elections, and by large amounts?

That’s the plot of the Civil War movie from this year. Nick Offerman and his nameless party started a 3rd presidential term.
