There might be something like this already, but not made with 'gaming' in mind, : ReactOS, a fully opensource implementation of the whole windows nt kernel and api's, you can just use and install windows setups, drivers, in it, total image is a few hundred MB,(the livecd is 37MB (7zipped) and uses much less than a GB of ram. However, it does have the ability to run some Windows applications, including games. (besides the ones that break because of anticheat but thats a whole other story) The games that make extensive use of the underlying (windows) os, are the games that usually run the worst and require the largest amount of hacks for running them in wine.

taken that the os will be free (and open), if adopted by developers, instead of adapting their code and hack around the current windows api's to optimize, they wil start to hack around in the os they then will provide along their game as this is much easier, result either each game wil require you to patch the os in a specific way if you dont want to use the os now provided by the game (requiring you to do a reboot just to play the game ofcīut then again, why an os, in terms of games an os is an obstacle, many games need barely anything from the os ,and could perfectly run (given that the api's that are in the os now, think vulkan opengl or directx are shipped with the game), there are many games today that you can install to the boot record after wich the game will just 'boot' when you turn on your pc (given that its in legacy mode for uefi models) On top of all this, no one is going through the trouble of installing this shit and dual-booting to it just to nerf their computer and play a game. And many classic Windows applications still work, I can still pop in the CD-ROM for Rollercoaster Tycoon and fire it up. ReactOS is an open source operating system that replicates the functionality R of the Microsoft Windows series of OSes while offering a considerable level.

Running Linux and using a wrapper like Wine or running Windows 10 in a VM like Virtualbox would be a much better option. You are not supposed to run ReactOS as your main OS in it's current state. ROMS don't work at all on computers until someone makes a very intricate program to deconstruct and rebuild them on the fly (an emulator). It's currently only up for download so people can play around with the OS and participate in it's development.

Since you have to download and install the OS yourself, and it will be surely based on Linux or BSD or another existing OS (no one is building one from scratch), it absolutely will be hacked.Ĥ. It would lower the game requirements by very little since modern OSs unload extra stuff when not needed (there is a reason Steam Deck still comes with 16 GB on the cheapest model)ģ. Plus modern Macs are not the same kind of computer as Windows and would need their own version of the OS (even Linux hasn't been fully ported over yet)Ģ. This would not make it so, since you are not running MacOS or Linux, you are exiting your OS and entering this one.
