Installing Tiny 11 on a pure gaming build ?

Can installing Tiny 11 instead of the normal Windows 11 on a pure gaming build (meaning I will do nothing on that sytem other than game), be a good idea? so as to use the least amount of resources possible. Or bad idea?

I would not install it on my main system. Because I never know when I would need the normal features and updates.

    If the system is to be used only for gaming, then Tiny 11 can definitely be considered as it is bloatware-free and has fewer background processes, which can give a performance boost. But it is important to check compatibility, especially if you need anti-cheat software or modern game updates — some features or services may be missing. Doing a test install and checking benchmarks would be the best approach.

    Tiny11 is not a good choice for gaming. You can play it for testing purpose.
