You can install Tiny11 as your base Windows OS https://github.com/ntdevlabs/tiny11builder then use a debloat like the ones linked in this thread or this one https://winutil.christitus.com/
I made that on my gaming PC (I use tons of non Linux compatible stuff for flight simming) and zero problems. It’s even riced to not look like Windows DE and act like i3wm.
From the git above, it downloads an official MS iso and debloat it to create a lighter one. It’s the same as installing a normal iso and then removing stuff like one note etc, except that those are not installed by default so no need to remove them.
Specialized software from laptop brands (asus or whatever) are useless shits. You only need the drivers and an OS.
