Windows Alternative: FydeOS

With the ending os Windows 10 support, many are finding their computers won't upgrade. Many of those don't like the idea of having to shell out hundreds of dollars for a new computer if their existing computer is otherwise working fine. So, what is one to do?

To extend a computer's life after Windows 10 support ends, the best option is to install a different operating system. I've mentioned a couple of options for this previously:

  1. Linux
  2. ChromeOS

Well, there is another option. I've not used it yet, but only heard about recently: FydeOS. Here is a recent video from Explaining Computers talking about it:

I like the idea of an easy to use OS that is similar to ChromeOS. I also like the idea of a ChromeOS clone that does not require a Google login, increaseing privacy and security. It's more like Linux in this way, and this could be the perfect blend of the two. I'll be installing FydeOS on an older computer soon, and testing it myself.

My Streaming Life appreciates the connections to Apple, Google, and the other services that are currently necessary. However, for everything else, and for as much streaming as possible, I don't like sharing my data.
