  • Again, it is not a “Custom OS” you aren’t installing it as an OS from an ISO. You are still required to have your own licensed version of windows and install that prior to using AtlasOS. Using it does not cause security and instability issues as long as you understand what you are doing. Yes it is stripping things from windows. It’s also open source so if you were so inclined you could see exactly what is being done.

    If you equate using an automated solution to do things that you could do manually albeit with a bit more work involved, then every single OS is custom the second you change anything on it.

    I do use Linux for what it’s worth and have been for around 20 years. I’ve also been working in Tech for the last 15 ish years. I wouldn’t be blindly recommending something that would wreck someone’s security.

    Please do some research.

    https://github.com/atlas-os/atlas

    There’s a link to their source code. They even state that you have options to what security settings get messed with. So again, as long as you READ and understand what you are doing, you aren’t necessarily breaking your systems security.








  • And when you bought it, did you look at the description, or did you just look at the picture and assume it was bigger?

    Generally these things have the weight of useable material listed in the description or listed on the container somewhere like the back which would normally be in one of the pictures of the item.

    Unless there’s absolutely no mention of the amount of product in the container this really isn’t asshole design.

    This is the point here.

    Many people have no idea of the infrastructure and costs needed to run many of these servers that provide services to people.

    I disagree with things like Adobe basically using it for DRM but have no issue for services that are literally serving millions of people and providing something worthwhile that the majority of the population would otherwise not know how to do on their own.

    There is some nuance to it, like offering a service and then slowly creeping costs up or adding an advertisement tier and dropping everyone to that etc is crap. But in general, if they are providing a decent service then I don’t really have a problem with it.




  • Why don’t you just use control panel?

    I never use the windows settings menu unless I absolutely have to because, like you insinuated, it’s really not that great.

    Control panel on the other hand is still there and will get you exactly where you need much quicker.
