  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • revision-tool

  • Just so everyone is aware, ReviOS disables the Spectre and Meltdown mitigations, virtualized based security, Windows Defender, turns off and hides the ability to use Windows Update (no future security updates), disables Bitlocker, etc. Many of the performance improvements come from disabling security mitigations/processes. Just something to be aware of. I think all of these settings can be re-enabled through their Revision Tool https://github.com/meetrevision/revision-tool.

  • bazzite

    Bazzite is a custom image built upon Fedora Atomic Desktops that brings the best of Linux gaming to all of your devices - including your favorite handheld.

  • Once Ubuntu breaks: https://github.com/ublue-os/bazzite/

    It's a gaming distro built on top of Fedora Silverblue, making it stable as heck while having up-to-date official steam, and other goodies. Works on Deck too, if you want that.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

    The Tweaks section has a checkbox for removing Edge. I removed mine using that.
