Atlas: An Open Windows OS Optimized for Gaming and Privacy
|
|
======
|
|
|
|
An open-source project to help you get the most out of your Windows gaming experience. Are you in?

|

|
|
Wouldn't it be nice to have a bloatware-free version of Windows?
|
|
|
|
Yes, of course. There have been a couple of attempts to present a clutter-free Windows version (unofficially).
|
|
|
|
Atlas OS is more of the same but impressive.
|
|
|
|
### Atlas OS: What is it?
|
|
|
|
**Atlas is simply a modified version of Windows.**
|
|
|
|
To clarify, **Atlas OS is not a standalone version of Windows**. You still need a genuine key for Windows (home/pro).
|
|
|
|
> 📋 Atlas OS is not an open-source edition of "Windows." The files/installers used to modify the Windows installation on your machine are open-source.
|
|
|
|
Atlas OS eliminates all the shortcomings of the Windows operating system to provide a faster and more private experience for gaming and other needs.
|
|
|
|
Once all the optimizations and tweaks are in place, your Windows experience converts to the "**Atlas OS**" experience. And that is the reason I mention it as the Atlas project or Atlas OS interchangeably.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
Some of the key highlights of the project include:
|
|
|
|
- **Reduces the number of processes running on Windows**
|
|
- **It is open-source. So you can verify the authenticity of what it does before trying it out.**
|
|
- **Eliminates telemetry**
|
|
- **Disabled audio exclusive**
|
|
- **Disabled unneeded devices**
|
|
- **Disabled power saving (for personal computers)**
|
|
- **Disabled performance-hungry security mitigations**
|
|
- **Automatically enabled MSI mode on all devices**
|
|
- **Boot configuration optimization**
|
|
- **Optimized process scheduling**
|
|
|
|
We all know Windows sucks a significant chunk of your system resources for its background services and nuances.
|
|
|
|
So, the Atlas project aims to eliminate all and further optimize your experience to give you every bit of performance, **boosting the FPS and ensuring snappy game sessions.**
|
|
|
|
Not to forget, **less bloatware and no useless processes are better for privacy.**
|
|
|
|
For instance, in a stock Windows installation without Atlas tweaks, you get 100+ processes and a good chunk of RAM consumption. After applying the Atlas modifications, you end up with **30-40 system processes and less memory consumption.**
|
|
|
|
With more resources available, the **games should perform potentially better than usual.**
|

### How to Install Atlas OS?
|
|
|
|
You do not get a separate ISO for Atlas OS. So, it may not be as straightforward as simply installing a new OS through the USB onto your computer.
|
|
|
|
> 💡 Unlike other custom Windows OSes, you do not get a tweaked ISO for Atlas OS. You still rely on the official ISO and perform modifications post-installations for a safer experience.
|
|
|
|
![files needed to install atlas OS][5]
|
|
|
|
The process of installing Atlas OS includes the following:
|
|
|
|
- Disconnecting the internet (to prevent forced modifications by Windows during installation)
|
|
- Making a fresh Windows installation (using the official ISO)
|
|
- Using the downloaded [Atlas files][6] to make the tweaks post-installation
|
|
|
|
Once done, you can install GPU drivers and start gaming!
|
|
|
|
You can refer to its [official documentation][7] and [GitHub page][8] for the detailed steps.
|
|
|
|
**Currently, it only supports Windows 10 22H2** and they are working on adding a version for Windows 11 users.
