Aged By AtlasOS, Modified Windows 10 For Gamers

JAKARTA - For gamers they not only need internet speed, but also computers with a capable operating system for playing games, such as AtlasOS.

Although it sounds foreign, AtlasOS is a Windows 10 open source modification. The operating system for this Personal Computer (PC) was redesigned, which according to the maker, has been specially designed for gamers.

With AtlasOS, users can enjoy higher image frequencies and lower input delays and latency. It is claimed that this operating system is suitable for PCs specifically for high-end and low-end games.

Furthermore, in line with the project's official website, AtlasOS' main feature includes reducing the number of ongoing processes to lower computing pressure on CPUs, as well as lowering system latency at the same time.

This will generate more storage space, as ISO AtlasOS is quite small compared to official Windows images.

Interestingly, AtlasOS is predicted to be safer where they focus on privacy as Windows telemetry has been disabled, source transparency is open, so users and coders can check what types of modifications AtlasOS actually brings to Windows 10.

When compared to the Windows 10 21H1 stock version, AtlasOS' latest release (0.5.2) cut the number of processes running from 185 to around 35.

This operating system also saves the use of RAM, from 1.5GB to 600MB. Process latency, which the maker of AtlasOS calls a sticky topic, also drops from 3.09 to 2.55.

Quoted from TechBlog, Thursday, December 29, to make it more prominent, AtlasOS removes all Windows negative weaknesses that can negatively affect gaming performance, while increasing system and network latency as well as deceleration of input at the same time.

AtlasOS also disabled mitigation of hardware security weaknesses in modern Intel and AMD processors such as Spectre and Meltdown, following principles if security mitigation measures lower performance, the action will be disabled.

Lastly, AtlasOS also removes standard (security) features that are not needed to play games, such as Trusted Platform Module (TPM), BitLocker, Windows Defender, Voice Recognition, Restore Points & System Reset.
