for no telemetry and half the bloatware you can always use the enterprise version. it's also (n)x the price. there also the iot version which is more stripped down and get only security updates, no features updates or other craps.

I don't think we will ever see a new version the way you described it, the amount of information Microsoft get from spying and telemetry is so much more profitable they even gave 10/11 for free.

i want to be able to run games on it without a 100 programs running in the background. if Microsoft engineers really put their mind to it, they could create such an OS offering dedicated for gaming with literally nothing consuming your CPU and FPS except the game you are running

Have you tried gaming on Linux? There really isn’t much reason not to these days. I find it difficult to find games that don’t work in Linux these days.

Much as it bothers me, this is not remotely true for the most popular online multiplayer games. Invasive anti-cheat rootkits being okie doke on Windows.

Many anti-cheat tools are available on Linux, more than you might think.
