If running under Proxmox, ESXi, or KVM, take a full VM snapshot labeled "Pre-23.08-upgrade".
For gamers, the "stripped" nature of custom Windows builds has historically been a double-edged sword. While they offered high FPS, they often lacked the necessary dependencies for games to launch or, worse, triggered anti-cheat bans (notably Valorant’s Vanguard).
ReviOS 23.08 strikes a careful balance. While it removes UWP (Universal Windows Platform) bloat, it retains the necessary underlying frameworks for gaming. Feedback from the community suggests high compatibility with Steam, Epic Games, and even competitive titles like Counter-Strike 2 and Valorant (provided the necessary services are enabled via the Revision Tool). The inclusion of an easy way to re-enable these services makes 23.08 a safer bet for gamers than "extreme" stripped builds like Ghost Spectre.
For 90% of use cases, the official package manager handles the revios 10 23.08 upgrade elegantly.
