AreWeAntiCheatYet VS Debloat-Windows-10

I only really play single player, but I have run into this too. This is a great resource to keep track of progress - https://areweanticheatyet.com/

It varies by game. https://areweanticheatyet.com/ is an interesting resource for that because they also track announcements by developers about whether or not linux support is eventually planned.

AFAIK the games that don't work are more modern, competetive games that use Anticheat. https://areweanticheatyet.com/ is a good resource to see the status of your game.

It is game by game basis. Use this guide to see if the game you play is supported or not.

The only caveat to that is online games with anti-cheat. EAC and BattlEye both support Linux but requires studios to tick a box, many of which refuse. Any kernel-layer AC that doesn't have a userspace component will not run on Linux. Can see a list of games and their AC support here.

> except Multiplayer online games

That's no longer the case. I'd say about now, there are more multiplayer games that you can play, as opposed to ones you can't play.

See: https://areweanticheatyet.com/ as reference, but it's not very up-to-date, so https://www.protondb.com/ would probably be a better reference.

Only listed the 'bigger' ones, but you have a rather full list here if you want to check your favorite games: arwianticheatyet.com

Nope, just works. There are some games that use invasive kernel-level anticheat that wont work as Linux sensibly blocks anything that shouldn't be messing with the kernel, but I'm not personally interested in those games anyway. EAC and Battleye both support Linux, but requires devs to tick a box, which there's several that can't be bothered.

Hmm looking here: https://docs.atlasos.net/troubleshooting/removed-features/

It just seems to remove a lot of security modules, out of all the bloat out there why would I want to just remove the sec modules? Also it now adds an option to include those, so all in all, it then removes:

- Some APPX and UWP applications

- Logging of Network Configuration

- Microsoft Edge and WebView

- Restore Points and System Reset

- Telemetry

- Windows Error Reporting

- Windows Updates

- Hyper-V and VBS

- Background Apps

- Disk Defragmentation

- User Account Control (UAC)

I can use https://github.com/W4RH4WK/Debloat-Windows-10 and https://www.oo-software.com/en/shutup10 and https://www.oo-software.com/en/ooappbuster to do most of the debloating and telemetry tasks.

I don't see the point of removing

- Disk Defragmentation (how much does this even affect general usage?)

- UAC (?)

- Hyper-V (since this is an optional feature anyway)

I try to uninstall OneDrive completely during the install process, but either a PS Script (https://github.com/W4RH4WK/Debloat-Windows-10/blob/master/scripts/remove-onedrive.ps1) works nor does it with an intunewin program (OneDriveSetup.exe /uninstall).

All results are just the same guy, and what ultimately helped him didn't help me. https://github.com/W4RH4WK/Debloat-Windows-10/issues/254

Here's a few of the scripts I use. https://github.com/W4RH4WK/Debloat-Windows-10 https://github.com/Sycnex/Windows10Debloater https://christitus.com/debloat-windows-10-2020/ I also run this program after debloating https://www.oo-software.com/en/shutup10

I've managed to trim a lot of the bloat from our standard non-ltsc image. I can't share what I have unfortunately, but some of what I used was based off stuff I found here: https://github.com/W4RH4WK/Debloat-Windows-10/tree/master/scripts

Install Win10 and strip it down to what YOU need from it. That way you also learn a lot by tweaking etc. To do this you need tools like this collection of debloating scripts: https://github.com/W4RH4WK/Debloat-Windows-10, O&O shut up 10, a guide for stopping unused services, etc..
