Microsoft’s Windows 10 is no longer a new operating system. In fact, it has been accessible to the public for almost five years now. And yet, despite an existing half-decade, it still seems very incomplete. The control panel has still not been merged with settings, for example, and the user interface still looks like a work in progress. Hey, at least these terrible Live Tiles are apparently on the verge of disappearing. Ultimately, using Windows 10 gives the impression that you’re in a constant state of beta. It shouldn’t be that way – Microsoft’s operating system should be much better than it is. After all, the business basically has unlimited resources.
Fortunately, Linux is there to save the day. Yes, thanks to Linux distributions, computer users can healthy operating system – one that makes sense. There are countless large Linux-based operating systems, such as MX Linux 19.1, Netrunner 20.01, Basic OS 5.1.2 and Manjaro 19.0.

Well, it is very secure, looks great, offers a familiar user experience and comes with great free software.
