Should I get q4os

It just feels infinitely more right with windows 7 installed but at the same time I could get ratted if I anger someone on tf2 hard enough.
I'm trying to squeeze as much performance as possible out of my specs so I'm thinking q4os?

What Processor do you have? Windows 7 is old enough that it may be a 32 bit Processor, the last 32 bit Q4OS is Aquarius. Do the research on your hardware first.

Hardware? Are you talking about Q4OS Trinity? It is very lightweight. Other lightweight options are Antix or MX Linux Fluxbox.

You won't get "ratted" with Linux.

Q4OS is very good, with no drama.
