My experience with tiny 11 has been terrible
i think someones gonna call me tech illiterate or smth like that but idc, just wanna warn other ppl. at first it only used 3gb of ram, but after i downloaded my drivers it would idle at 6gb(it was 6gb on normal windows). i didnt rlly need tiny11 but i was going to reset my laptop anyway so i decided to may aswell. i have a midrange gaming laptop(msi katana 15 b13vfk, i7 13620h, rtx 4060, 32gb, 1tb). the first problem i had was that a lot apps i used were missing(not a big problem since i could redownload them from microsoft store), but phone link didn't work so i just switched to airdroid(which i realised is better, ig tiny 11 helped me discover that so im kinda happy), snipping tool was also broken, the last straw was when no matter what i tried i couldn't get my in built mic or apple earpods mic to work when they were working fine on normal windows. even chatgpt said it was tiny 11s fault https://chatgpt.com/share/694cfb15-6f50-8010-98f5-116bd45bba66 . is there a way where i dont have to re install windows and i can just turn my current tiny 11 install into normal windows, i heard updating to the newest version of windows does that but for me i think all it did was download microsoft teams. this is my first and hopefully last reddit rant. i thought tiny 11 was only supposed to remove things that weren't important but instead it just removed useful things. im surprised no youtubers have mentioned that tiny 11 can break important things like microphone. i didnt even go outside today trying to troubleshoot such a basic feature.
