I hadn't heard about Win 11s.

I recently loaded up an oldishTosh laptop with "Tiny 10" which is a severely pared back version of Windows (machine wouldn't run 11) for a friend to take on holidays to view her photos and GoPro videos. It works perfectly, has networking, security and none of the usual windows dreck that we suffer.

Recently I heard that Tiny11 has been released and I'm even considering putting it on my desktop machine. Here's a
link if you'd like to investigate.
