I have mucked around with this OS for a little while now and have found it to be snappy, good looking and you can install a variety of familiar apps that could possibly keep you amused for a day or two.
The apps appear to be solid and pretty much bug free; old familiars like VLC (but you have to
PAY for media codecs ($3.00) and no, you
cant install them apparently,
without paying). Chrome, Gimp, etc, etc all work like they say on the tin. The printer and scanner apps work well, along with wi-fi and so on. Dandy!
I get the impression that this OS would be great for a small business, hotel, B&B, school or learning environment, as it is
almost free and almost hassle-free (although it
may not work on such a wide variety of machines as Ubuntu or Mint does) in installation and operation.
[Many-a-time, on my travels, I have wanted to use the internet for checking my mail, as cell phone coverage was impossible; just to find that the local library or hotel had a dubious, clapped out version of Windows on an equally cranky and ancient machine (think costs!), or, the proprietor had a Mac machine; simply because they were egotists or they had a tendency toward sadism.]
So this OS seems to fill a niche in the market, with its good looks and ease of use and its excellent ability for getting a job done.
Further Note.....
Basically, if you had this OS installed on your average laptop, located in the reception area of, lets say a hotel, I would go so far to say, that it's doubtful whether
anyone would want to take it. So, additionally, it's thief-resistant to boot!
Verdict....
Or, maybe I am being a little too harsh by saying these last words..........but, as far as I am concerned, this OS is just far
too boring for my liking.
["Infinitely..." would have been a much more apt name for this OS methinks
]
I rate this at 6 out of 10 (as a Linux user).
However, I am certain others would disagree with my findings; especially those who made the whole experience possible.
Bless 'em.
One thing I am absolutely positive about..........
EndessOS is something you may wish to avoid, especially if you wish to ride the high seas.
