Are you ready to put Tiny11 on your Steam Deck? What do you think about its safety and security, especially because it isn't officially made by Microsoft yet?

Seems reasonable. But it's too bad no big open-source community is keeping a small Windows distribution around.

I don't believe in any Windows copies except those made by Microsoft because everything else is probably a trap. Even if you think you are safe, you will likely break the terms of service for sure.

Microsoft doesn't really approve of that. It is obvious because running on old or unsupported hardware is a strong sign. Besides, the system does not need a TPM chip at all. That is something they would never take out of an operating system. Also, you can't be sure what else might have been added to it if we didn't write about this. If our writers hadn't written that article, I wouldn't even be talking here on this fence.
