Question Atlas OS

Atlas is a Windows 10 "version" stripped down for lower end pc and gamers. But they can't really be stripping down true win10 code can they, I mean they don't have access to code, correct? several websites have it including github. I had never of until I got an email from Techspot discussing it. I'm thinking perhaps it is a good Guest OS with VMWare or VirtualBox?? I tried searching MT and I did not find it as a thread, but maybe I missed it? Anyone know about?

I only remembered the name from a recent german article. Betriebssystem für Spieler: AtlasOS möchte das bessere Windows 10 sein
Cons they listed: MS Defender removed !, Bitlocker disabled, Data Execution Prevention disabled. Meltdown/Spectre fixes disabled. They didn't test if it was faster.

good info, and if I installed Atlas OS as Guest OS in VMWare, I wouldn't care that Defender, et al, were missing. One of the links I looked at showed it using much less resources on pc.

It reminds me of those modded versions of XP and 7 that were popular with some users. It was not possible to update them, uncorrectable errors, strange behavior... a disaster.

not sure, but on first quick read of install notes, I got the impression it overwrites your win10 system. I could be wrong, in any event, I lost interest.

Atlas OS is actually a custom Windows 10 distribution, based on the open-source software available on the internet. The developers have modified the system files, removed default applications and services, and added their own packages to create a more lightweight and optimized version of Windows 10.

As for using Atlas OS in a virtual environment, there shouldn't be any issues with that. You can download the ISO file from their website and use it to create a virtual machine in VMware or VirtualBox. However, keep in mind that Atlas OS is not an officially supported version of Windows by Microsoft, so you may encounter some compatibility issues with certain software or hardware.
