If you are good with going all Steam, Linux might be an excellent option. Get a distro that supports your hardware, and prune out the unneeded stuff. A discussion of good gaming Linux distros is beyond my knowledge and worthy of a separate thread.

If you cant get one with bare os, then To avoid the bloat, or most of the bloat, when formatting and reinstalling windows, ehich is easy to do, when it comes to r3installing windows, and it gets to where you have to input the time zone, (one of the first choices when installing windows) put in “English world” from the drop down list instead of your location. Then later whe it asks again for time zone, then you can put in actual location. Apparently some nations refuse to to allow Microsoft to install crapware, so putting in “english world” bypasses a lot of the crapware. There will still be some, but there is a tool from Chris Titus that does away with almost all of what is left, turns off phone home crap, and makes the os almost a barebones install with just the os. Check out the tool by Chris on youtube.
