As if I didn’t already have enough reticence regarding fgcOS, Arturo defending Gootecks’ personal beliefs and political views (aka antivax, Q anon conspiracy, inciting right wing violence at the capitol) make me even less inclined to wanting its widespread adoption.

Since nobody’s saying it, I’m gonna.

“FGC OS” is just Windows, so it’s still gonna suck ass in the same way Windows sucks ass!! He’s not doing anything special. He’s just debloating the same piece of shit that will still turn to mush if a controller even looks at it funny.

The answer is Linux. I have been using Linux to run games at my local for the past several years. Controllers plug in and simply work. My scene uses Steam Decks for multiple games, most commonly Strive, Tekken, and Calibur. It works great! If they ever drop SteamOS 3.5, Streets 6 frame pacing will improve to where it will be more viable than PS4s.

Art is just selling snake oil to people who don’t know better and/or refuse to consider the Penguin with the legitimacy it deserves due to decades of social conditioning against it.

Trying to 'debloat' Windows 10/11 for the purposes of gaming is simply a bad idea to begin with because it removes several security features and patches from Windows that a person would need if they were to use said PC to go online.

But isn’t that not the usecase? If you’re using it for offline tournaments or have a separate partition for this Windows installation, is the loss of security features relevant?

But games have to download new balance patches/updates/characters all the time. So it's pretty much unavoidable.

As purported by the people working on fgcOS, those security features are toggleable and can be turned on when not gaming and are just performing updates. So that’s not that big a concern if that is properly implemented.

That seems like way too much of a hassle for a TO to have to go through several PCs, install fgcOS, install the games, turning on the security features, applying the updates, shutting them off again just to eliminate 4-5 frames of input lag. I'm sure there are other less tedious ways to efficiently run an offline tournament on PCs without sacrificing security features.

EDIT: That's also not mentioning someone could also potentially mess with said PCs offline as well that those security features could also protect against.

a large scale, standardized set of hardware and software, easy to maintain and running at an acceptable performance level while remaining relatively inexpensive… where have I seen that before…

Like I said before in other posts and replies, even if it does do everything it purports to, people need to confirm that the juice is worth the squeeze.
