Available for bit and bit hardware, MenuetOS is an operating system that can be installed from a single floppy disk. Just to clarify, that's a single floppy disk of 1. Incredibly, it includes a full GUI desktop, a browser, media player, and spreadsheet pre-installed. Built with Assembly language, MenuetOS also features support for USB webcams, and handles resolutions up to x 16 million colors.
No floppy drive? Google has been developing Android and Chrome OS towards a convergence of operating systems in recent years. Thanks to the addition of mouse and keyboard support, Android is becoming increasingly useful as a desktop operating system. And thanks to some independent developers, Android is available as a free download for bit and bit operating systems. The benefits of using Android as your free Windows alternative are clear.
After Windows, it is the most-used operating system on the planet. Apps for Android are everywhere and you're probably already using at least one. Android can also be used for media streaming and has a massive library of games. In short, Android could be the ultimate free alternative to Windows. It really depends what you're looking for in an operating system. Various Android versions are available for desktop and laptop PCs. All the apps you need to be productive are available, from word processors to image editors.
It's an unusual operating system, as different from Windows as Linux is, but worth trying if you need a free operating system. Hi Abhijith, Great list of operating systems you have shared which is alternative to windows. But in those I love Ubuntu most because i have used that earlier. I will try Remix OS in future. Thank you for bringing more information to this topic for me.
Really appreciate for your amazing article. Thank you for this valuable information. Thanks for sharing such a valuable information.
I am not a techie and never thought I would be able to use Linux but this OS is quick and for a normal user very easy to get used to. There are so many great online softwares and browser add ons available now that I think even non technical people like me will be able to use Lubuntu. I have it on dual boot but have not been back to Windows for months. I install it on every computer I service for older folks, that is running XP or Vista.
Installation is easier than MS. I am willing to pay for an alternative to MS, but my concern is software compatibility. They cover pretty well the world of software outside Windows and macOS.

You say "Tried Vista os and didn't like it," but that reaction to almost anything new is very common. You should give yourself much more time to learn Vista and get accustomed to what's new there as well as what's improved there. This thread is locked.
