This is really intriguing, but am I reading the instructions correctly? Call me dumb, but I don't know how to reinstall Win10 Home; I don't have a recovery CD or anything like that. I'd also need to back up everything first... which would be a pain...

To my knowledge they did some horrible "performance" fixes like disabling Windows Defender.

Windows requires you to install random software. If you are really careful, you could live without antivirus, but honestly just dont.

If your PC doesnt tolerate the overcomplicated Windows 11, any Linux distro is lighter.

I recommend to give Fedora Kinoite a shot. It is a very modern distribution model.

Fedora Discussion is a good resource for help, and I am always down to fix the small Kinoite issues like video codecs or flatpaks.

By default defender is active on AtlasOS. You can disable it manually with bat script

Okay then that was the "extreme" mode and maybe was already removed.
