Has anyone used this modded windows OS?

I've seen quite a few videos on youtube of it performing waaay better than normal windows & using less resources than even tiny10/11 windows.

I've seen quite a few people say they've used it for years with no issues or accounts stolen, but then I've also seen a few people claim that their version had malware on it- however I've also found that apparently there's fake sites with malware infested versions of it floating around & apparently there's versions of it on piracy sites that come pre-loaded with a bunch of pirated games, so perhaps those are where those malware reports are coming from.

Huh, I suppose the video review I watched on youtube was wrong about the size of it then...

I tried finding this out on my own but couldn't find a single video or screenshot showing how much ram & cpu usage LTSC used while idle, could you let me know?

Afaik Ghost spectre uses 1.1 GB/8GB & cpu utilization @ 0~1% on a ryz 9 5980hs

If Ghost spectre was running malware, especially a crypto miner there's no way the pc would run at low resource intensities- a keylogger is the only thing that could possibly slip under since it requires little to no resources to run.

About 1.1 to 1.2, 1.3GB. Less than Pro, but can't compete with any Linux distro.

You're right about the crypto miner, but the keylogger is a realistic possibility. I've ran into so many script solitions and some of them did actually have malware (I can't always read a 2, 3MB script, that's just way too much code), that I decided to make my own scripts and use those instead.
