do you use windows for your gaming machine?
i had to install it on a family laptop because of some apps that worked on windows only. I wanted to install a locked-down version of it and came across reviOS. it's a stripped down version of windows with cruft removed. it was very very fast(almost comparable to my Debian machine). perhaps it'd be of interest to you if you're into privacy. An alternative to that is winutil, which is basically a script to debloat windows.
I'll have to look into those and experiment on VMs. Thanks for the info! I used to use Windows 10 LTSC and it worked great, but I wanted the Microsoft Store to experiment with ray tracing in Bedrock Edition of Minecraft as SEUS's PTGI wasn't free at the time. I use Windows 11, I'm familiar with debloating the OS since Windows 10 came out. Usually I use Spybot Anti-Beacon 1.6 and WinAero Tweaker. I then remove all the useless apps I can with a script :)
