How good is Tiny11? I'm considering it for a throwaway Windows 11 installation for League of Legends (on a dedicated spare parts box, no personal data whatsoever).

@thomholwerda It may be fine for such a limited scope but be sure to silo it on your network, don't let it have access to any other local machines. And your League login is still personal info that might be at risk (I don't play it so I don't know how bad it would be to have one's login compromised).

If I were doing this for a single game I would just grab the Windows 11 Enterprise evaluation ISO straight from Microsoft and run it, you don't have to activate it as it's an eval license and it's good for three months. Having to reinstall every three months versus trusting a third party with even one login, there's no question for me, especially since I change hardware like some people change underwear.

Depending on how you feel about massgrave, once Windows 11 LTSC drops that might be a path to explore as well.

Got me an old but new-to-me AsRock A300 DeskMini PC with a Ryzen 2400G. Microsoft says "bah, too old for Windows 11" which is how I got it (traded my HP mini PC that is Win11 supported to a friend who needs Win11 for work-from-home).

What to do with it? Why, run #OpenBSD of course!! I'm thinking minimalist backup workstation with cwm or i3 and as little else as possible that isn't in base already.

Firefox is a given, but apart from it and its dependencies what else would I really need? Thoughts? Opinions? Hit me.

There are many guides to use #OpenBSD as a workstation, this one is mine:
