This is based on Unix, which is the same parent of Apple's OS-X, and like it, this has a pre-selected group of programs which run on it. There are 2,220 Applications available, and 23,790 total Packages. So while you may not easily recognize the names of some of these, if you are using Windows, these do the same kinds of things you would do with Windows. This operating system is being constantly upgraded and regularly updated and it can include a complete suite of office programs, similar to Microsoft Office.
This system is open source, and available free. You may make a donation and they would appreciate it, but this system will not come with a big price tag, and it works very well. You should try it. But you must put it on a separate partition of your hard-drive, because it formats its part of the drive with a completely different format than is used by Windows, and they don't speak each other's language, without special programs to act as interpreter, and not all of those work well. But if that is not a problem, this is a good system for anyone on a budget, or anyone who would like another operating system to learn and use.
