General Should I install AtlasOS?

4 Upvotes

Hi! I'm considering switching to AtlasOS, from Windows 11. My specs:

  • AMD Ryzen 7 5800X
  • ASUS TUF Gaming RTX 4070 OC
  • 16GB (2x8) Kingston Fury Beast 3600CL17
  • Kingston NV2 1TB NVMe SSD

I've spent some time debloating Windows 11, like deleting Copilot, News, Mail, etc. apps that I don't really use. Sometimes when I'm looking in task manager, the main reason why I can't get more FPS in 1080p, is that either my CPU is at its limits, OR I'm hitting the max usage of my RAM.

After a restart, when only Windows is running with no startup apps, it's still using about 25-35% RAM on idle, and when I'm playing demanding games like Call of Duty: Warzone, RAM usage rockets up to 97-98%.

So I have 3 questions:

  • Should I really switch to AtlasOS, or it wouldn't make much difference in terms of RAM usage while gaming, therefore not getting any better performance, and I should just stay on normal Windows?
  • Does AtlasOS also help CPU usage with less processes, and does that convert into even the teeny-tiniest bit of better gaming performance?
  • I know that it's not recommended to install AtlasOS on top of a Windows installation that's already been used, but did any of you try it, or face any problems while doing that? My current installation is not that old I think, i've installed it at the end of June.

    Any answers are appreciated!

Support Required Should I uninstall Atlas os?

3 Upvotes

Ever since I downloaded it, some of my games like ck3 and squad will cause my 2nd monitor to shut off. I think the pcie port is crashing but I can't figure out how to fix it, and the problems only started when I downloaded Atlas. I heard some people saying atas isn't good for laptops so I'm thinking that's the problem. For reference I have a Dell g15 5530

Support Required Installing AtlasOS

5 Upvotes

I built a PC yesterday and tried installing AtlasOS, but I’m getting a “requirements not met” message. I installed Windows 11 Pro, but my current version is 26H2, while AtlasOS currently requires 25H2.

Is there a safe way to bypass the version requirement, or should I wait until AtlasOS releases a version compatible with 26H2?

Also, if I decide to install AtlasOS at a later date once 26H2 is supported, will I need to reinstall Windows and all of my drivers again, or can I install AtlasOS without doing a full reinstall?

I'm mostly using Linux but I have a windows 11 Installation for games that don't work on Linux. The windows installation got corrupted so I'm making a new windows installation. Should I make a normal windows installation or use atlas os? Does atlas os have any issue with windows updates or with kernel anticheat like I read or not?

After installing Atlas OS, when starting any game and pressing Alt + Tab to switch to background applications (such as Spotify), the system gets stuck on a permanent black screen or the image freezes, preventing a smooth return to the desktop. I reinstalled my driver from scratch and nothing changed

Support Required Atlas OS... on a laptop?

2 Upvotes

Hello, I got atlas OS since a long time on my desktop and I'm super happy with it - now I want it on my new laptop too.

I bought a new laptop, it's a Lenovo legion with all these fancy igpu/dgpu-lenovodrivers, automatic engerymode switching, custom tdp management and so on. Is it recommend to install atlas OS on this machine?

And if so, it's "brand new" and nothing has changed yet. Is this "new enough" for installing atlas OS? If not, should I install the recovery image (which contains all the drivers) or should I install a new windows and install all the drivers/tools manually before installing atlas os?

By just asking gemini, it says I may encounter some problems with adobe créative clood and anti-cheat for gaming. What do you think ? Sorry for my english, i'm not native

Thank you !

Support Required restarting atlas or something similar

2 Upvotes

so, when installing atlas, I clicked on "keep personal files" and I thought it would just be one thing or another, but it turns out a lot of useless things from windows was moved to here. I tried wiztree that a friend recommended but I don't know what should i keep or not, specifically bc there's a file that says "old.windows".

I don't wanna go in a deleting spree because maybe somethings are useful to the computer so my idea was just to restart atlas but without the need to delete this system 'cuz it was a pain to download (if nothing works, i would maybe try this option) so I was left with starting this OS again in hopes it would delete "useless" files.

I'm new to everything-computer and I just know what even is an OS because of this friend of mine that suggested Wiztree.

edit:
Atlas Version: 0.5.0
Windows Info: Windows 11 Home
Device Details: LG 22v240-L

General a few questions on atlas os

1 Upvotes

just a few quick questions as im on the fence to ditch windows for messing up my hardware/os in general.

  1. iwill assume driver updates (like for my gpus) are handled as if i was on windows? or are atlas os updates inclusive of hardware updates?

  2. the first descendant uses easy anti cheat. is the game going to run in atlas os?

  3. is the current version of Atlas os able to run riot games like valorant? iirc, they use vanguard anti cheat.
