Removes unnecessary pre-installed apps, telemetry, and background services. Reduced Disk Space: Reduced Disk Space: One of the most radical

One of the most radical departures in Xtreme LiteOS 8.1 is its complete avoidance of memory copying. Traditional RTOSes use message queues or pipes that copy data between buffers; LiteOS 8.1 implements a . Each task is granted capabilities to specific memory regions via a hardware-assisted Memory Protection Unit (MPU) or, on MPU-less cores, via software-fault isolation (SFI). Inter-task communication uses pass-by-reference with reference counting, but unlike Linux’s refcount_t , LiteOS uses a bounded, lock-free, atomic counter that fits in 8 bits.

: Be aware that "Lite" versions often strip out the Windows Store , Cortana , and Telemetry to boost performance.

Since Windows Defender is removed, you must protect yourself. Avoid heavy suites like Norton or McAfee. Options:
