Microsoft is working on a new project labeled Windows 'K2', intent on removing bloatware, reducing AI, and optimizing Windows 11 for gaming, with three focuses of 'performance, craft, and reliability'.

the issue is not about performance, is about enshitification. I mean, do we need TPM? do we need Microslop account to login our pc/laptop? do they really need to shove Copilot into Windows?

Yep, I had a look at Winboat. It's effectively a Windows VM anyway (using RDP), so for the sake of the couple of applications I need Windows for (which mostly interact with each other), VirtualBox with a VM is easier for me to manage.
