Alternative Operating Systems to Windows

writes:

I can no longer activate Windows XP on my desktop computer, even using
the various go-arounds offered on the net. I can afford Windows 10 and
so on, but I have given too many hours over the years to its Regedit,
restore yada features. I do not need bells and whistles. I need a
decent word processor, spreadsheet, pdf viewer. I have a small
Chromebook as my second computer. For anything serious, I can use my
little Chromebook or go to the public library.

I am ready to try a free alternative operating system, such as Linux's
Ubuntu.

If you use a free operating system, can you post your thumbs up or
thumbs down for it compared to Windows?

Thumbs up.

Fedora user here.
Compared to Windows, lots of things work better.
There are thousands of free applications you can easily install.

It's free to try and easier to understand which is another
kind of freedom.

Most new Linux users start with Ubuntu.
