Considering the installation of Tiny11 on your Steam Deck, what are everyone's opinions on its safety and security because it isn't an official Microsoft release?

I encounter varied opinions, with some claiming Defender functions effectively while others dispute this. Several updates seem missing, and obtaining them appears to require a fresh ISO release. De-Bloated Windows 11 operates on as little as 2GB of RAM, whereas the regular version needs over 20GB. Tiny11 consumes just 8GB of disk space, in contrast to the standard install. How To Install Tiny 11 And Is It Safe? (Windows 11 Lite) Tiny 11 originates from NTDev and is built on Windows 11 Pro 22h2, incorporating many of its stronger features while omitting certain aspects. silicophilic.com An explanation from the developer clarifies how Tiny11 remains lightweight yet secure, even without TPM or Secure Boot. A bloatware-free version of Windows 11, named Tiny11, was launched recently and boasts minimal system demands. The creator has since resolved numerous questions and concerns raised by users. www.neowin.net I wouldn't recommend it for critical systems

Sounds reasonable. It's a shame there isn't a big open source community keeping a small Windows distribution alive.

I would not trust any version of Windows that doesn't come from Microsoft, you have no idea what else you might be getting. In any case, I think you'll find that it's a violation of the EULA...

Microsoft doesn't support it, that's certain. The fact it works on unsupported hardware is a clear hint. It doesn't need a TPM at all, which is the final reason they'd take it out of an OS. Also, you really don't know what else might have been included. If our writers hadn't put out an article about it, I wouldn't be debating about it.
