I do not have the skills to work-on/repair OSs alternative, if something goes wrong. Are there any top alternative Computer OSs that have IRW computer repairpeople that was work on computers that use their OSs? If the answer is yes, then around what USA cities?

Thank You, for everyone seriously trying help me. Which is most the replies:)!

Any computer repair shop worth their salt can fix a computer regardless of OS. After all, 90% of computer repair is searching for stuff on the internet.

When you give a gift, just make sure it's using what you think they would most want. If they would benefit most from Linux, give them Linux. If they would benefit most from Windows, give them Windows.

    Really? Wow, does not sound that skilled then. but the current computer repairperson said he only does Windows, & few affordable (no job, there is only geek sqaud) & trustworthy, past malware infections event, computer repair place. I live aura, unincorporated & Ag. area, nearest city is at least 15-Mins. away by automobiles.

    I cannot agree more with what you said, but I was giftee, not the gifter.

    That makes things even simpler. You hate Windows, put what you want on it. You can't change that it came with Windows, but you can change what it has tomorrow.

    I would find a different computer repairman. That said, Frameworks are also quite repairable (that is kinda their whole thing). It's an excellent system to get started with learning computer stuff yourself. Fixing your problems as you come across them is a great way to learn.

    What's the specific problem you are having with it? We could point you in the right direction.

    Thank you, but tablet low on battery,

    No specific problem, except Frameworks’ undersized screens! Hate small screens!

    My brother (in the software repair industry) loves Frameworks & Windows, & so do I love that part of Frameworks, so I have a small beginning understanding.

    I cannot afford to have new LT out for a long time, while i learn.

    You probably want Windows then

    Also be really mindful of "computer repair services." They tend to take advantage of people.

    Yeah, I hear you, now. But then I had even less income & without a LT for year. Went the cheapest possible route, cellphone specialist, but advertised he did computers as well.
