Atlas VS hcl

> I usually have to spend an hour just removing stuff, disabling things and multiple reboots just to trim things down.

All of that is automated now. https://atlasos.net

How is this not clear?

"A modification of Windows, designed for gamers."

"Performance: By Removing unnecessary components, disabling power-saving features, and optimizing services."

"Privacy: By eliminating Microsoft's notorious tracking, pre-installed apps, and bloatware, you can feel confident when using Atlas."

As a last hope you could backup your windows install and try installing Atlas OS on top, haven't tried it yet on Win11 but it should clear some process and ram for the game to run : https://atlasos.net/ MAKE SURE YOU BACKUP YOUR WINDOWS DISK FIRST. I'd recommand a software that you can launch on a USB stick instead of a program ran from Windows. I used https://www.easeus.com/backup-software/ but many others offer backups and PE USb bootable ISOs

Ok the whole story. My LLG started BSOD after doing a system restore because of a borked Handheld Companion install. So instead of using the recovery image I thought "now would be the perfect time to try out a vanilla Win 11 install and use AtlasOS” to see the difference it makes when it comes to gaming. So I download the drivers and Legion Space from Lenovo, Win 11 ISO, and AtlasOS files and I do think that it gave this beast some claws. It seems twice as fast as before without useless processes running in the background to bog things down. All the useless bloatware is gone and my LLG is running like a well oiled machine. I will run test later to compare but I think I have a winner here.

You can't, Windows >7 is a pain to have on a hard drive and will use 100% of it all the time. If you don't want to get an SSD, your best option is atlasos.net which isn't as good than getting an ssd but better than stock Windows.

AtlasOS turns Windows into a pure gaming OS. It removes all bloatware and system hog.

One modification that had a suprising effect was installing AtlasOS on top of Windows 11 using the AME wizard and Atlas playbook. https://atlasos.net/ - this produced an immediate and noticeable responsiveness improvement across the board. Before AtlasOS the mouse was still too slow even at the fastest setting in Windows. After AtlasOS everything was so much more responsive I had to slow down the mouse slightly because it was now moving so quickly and smoothly. I'm still a little dumbfounded by how good AtlasOS actually seems to be. But it's yet to be seen if whatever was gutted from Windows will cause issues down the line.

Apparently this one is optimized specifically for "AAA game" players and is frequently updated. I'm installing it now https://atlasos.net

Terraform HCL (HashiCorp Configuration Language) is an essential language for cloud engineers in 2024, particularly for those involved in infrastructure as code (IaC) practices. HCL is the configuration language used by Terraform, a widely adopted tool that enables engineers to define, provision, and manage cloud infrastructure using a declarative configuration approach. Learning Terraform HCL allows cloud engineers to automate the deployment and lifecycle management of cloud resources across various service providers, ensuring consistency, repeatability, and scalability of cloud environments.

Reminds me of [HCL](https://github.com/hashicorp/hcl), but without all the providers to deploy the config?

HCL: A Go implementation structured configuration language. The native syntax of HCL is inspired by libucl and nginx configurations. It is used to create a structured configuration language that is friendly to humans and machines, mainly for DevOps tools, server configurations, and resource configurations as a Terraform language.

HCL has a JSON representation [1], internally, objects behave that way. so it should be possible to write a Jsonnet wrapper around it. Terraform can currently parse json pipelines too.

I'm not sure this is the criticism you think it is. Wow, so you basically have to add quotes to get strings in some ambiguous situations?

Yeah sure you could probably improve YAML by getting rid of these weird pitfalls, but that is a minor improvement. The alternative isn't something like TOML, because YAML is optimized for hierarchical configuration. It's every vendor implementing a different syntax such as Hashicorp with their HCL [0].

The Hashicorp corporation has made a huge impact in providing valuable tools and platforms in the cloud ecosystem. The advantage of using the tools they provide, such as Terraform, Vault, and Packer, is that they all have the same language, Hashicorp Configuration Language (HCL). This means you can easily pick up any of these tools by learning HCL, which is similar to JSON. This approach can be useful when choosing tools to learn or use for a project.

Format is HCL language feature: https://github.com/hashicorp/hcl/blob/main/hclwrite/public.go

Hi, from what I read from HCL Github "HCL is a syntax and API specifically designed for building structured configuration formats.".

When the desired state is relatively simple to define and the mechanism to reach that state is not that important, writing up a declaration of what is needed and letting something/someone else deal with it is the most logical abstraction. This would be like drafting up the architectural draft for your new restaurant and paying a contracting company to actually build it, or writing HTML and letting a web browser render it, or writing a Terraform HCL file and letting the Terraform CLI tool apply it. This is called declarative programming in the software world, and has many advantages (and a few disadvantages!) for cloud infrastructure management.

Not related to C but HCL exists.
