duckISO 🦆

Source code/building · Hashes of binaries · Discord

⚠️ Warning: I do not recommend using duckISO as your daily Windows install yet, wait until version 1.0 releases.

My personal presets and scripts to modify Windows 11 or 10 with NTLite for performance and privacy. duckISO is a fork of AtlasOS. It is focused on being a long term installation, with not a lot of items stripped (mostly UWP bloat is stripped), causing less issues in the future as you can re-enable what you have disabled.

• Defender is not stripped, but it is disabled by default
  • You may want or need it in the future, it is a good antivirus that integrates into Windows well (your brain is better mostly though)
• Windows Update is not disabled, it is configured with policies and you can easily re-run the post installation script after an update
  • It is enabled for security and bug fixes (with Windows 11, you are probably going to want the updates)
• Edge (configued with policies) is not stripped, it can be uninstalled and replaced with either LibreWolf or Brave
  • Couldn't strip it easily with free NTLite, plus it is nice to have an included web browser

There are no ISOs provided

If you want to use this, build it yourself. This is to avoid noobs using it and asking for help with simple things that they shouldn't need help for, if they are consciously using a custom ISO.
