Endless OS is Superb

 Endless OS is Superb

I have updated Endless OS in my laptop today.

It gives my laptop the appearance of a larger version of a cellphone.

It's history is unique.

I hated Microsoft Windows preinstalled when I bought the laptop in Singapore, many moons ago.

Microsoft crafted OEM, BIOS did not allow dual booting or erasing Windows.

But Endless OS did care less and erased everything.

Of course, I removed  the 1000GB SATA hard disk and installed a 120GB hard disk.

Incidentally, Endless OS, too, does not respect dual booting.

The worse scenario, is I cannot boot the laptop with a USB stick having a Linux distribution, due to the BIOS (UEFI) restriction.

I rarely use the laptop but my PC.

Incidentally I bought a Tiny Intel NUC box which is small and cute.

NUC is noise free and costs little with only 15 Watts output.

My reason for buying it was to cut down on the electricity and telephone bills.

Cellphone also costs a lot and recharging it's battery daily is a pain.

Who needs a laptop now?
