This is part of what Atlas-Os is, it's a Debloated 22h2 version of Windows 10, its been pretty great so far, but if you're going to delve into it, please know Atlas directly has an out of the box conflict with vac.

Specifically, Atlas blocks Spectre-Meltdown from running which causes issues with Vac.
To remedy this, just enable it via the provided .cmd, and turn Autoclean off via Task Scheduler

Just use a bare-bones Windows 10 install and do some Reg/Service edits, I think Mastercoms even has some recommendations on stuff to help out performance

Personally I use Atlas-Window 10, but I couldn't really recommend it unless you wanna dig through all its own issues.

Lauch option: -nosrgb

-Only works with Dxlevel 9+
Not sure if there's a difference between dx9 or dx10.

What's something you've done in life or tf2 that you consider to be one your best achievements?

While Ive never really gotten too far into the upper echelon of tf2, Ive managed to gain a decent following and living just by doing art for folks.

Mario 64 Speedrunning
Cs
Smash
Apex
Canasta

We all play tf2 in some form or another, but what's something else you really enjoy doing besides this video game?
Personally I've made my art hobby into a real passion, and it's one of the main things I do besides play Tf2.

One of my least favorite experiences back in Open Esea was a team-mate who worked night shift.

He would come into the mumble around 5 minutes before matches complaining, go afk to get an energy drink (at least a 7 mile journey through the himalayas.) then come back having forgot to update his client.
He also had to work right after matches, so if things went on too long he'd just leave.

Maybe it was a pug that left its mark on your very soul, or a real awful match.
What's the worst of the worst you've had to endure.

Ill be real, I used to subsist off chicken nuggets and pizza, but after expanding my diet, I've felt a lot better and more energized.
Recommend me something you've found that keeps your energy up and you feeling good.
Bonus points for recipes people can follow.

Dm certainly is important and you need it, but tf2 is so dynamic that you can make up for your lack of skill in some aspects by just being better in others.
Though if we're down to the grit I'd say 25%, growing upwards with more confident playstyles // roles where you can take fights purely on being the stronger dm player.

If you're crouched against a wall directly to your right or left, look at a slight angle horizontally away from the wall and hold your corresponding movement key against the wall awhile moving forward/back, you'll go faster than normal crouching.

Not a perfect example, but here's it being used.

From Open to Invite, there's always gonna be a few exciting matches every season, whether its the best of the best going for that number one spot, a team getting a miracle upset win, or just teams goofing around for entertainment.

What are some of the best matches you've seen played out over the years?

Back in 2011-2012~ I was running hardware that couldn't even touch tf2, and I remember clicking to join a community server, getting up to make food and coming back a solid 15 minutes later to me still connecting to said server. All to enjoy my 10fps experience.
