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:)!

Sorry but this is very difficult to understand.

Are there any top alternative Computer OSs

The only other one you can put on that machine is Linux.

that have IRW computer repairpeople

No idea what this means.

I think they mean "In real world." They want the Geek Squad for a Framework running Mint/Ubuntu/Elementary/etc.

Not true, I know first hand OpenBSD works fine (at least on my AMD FW13, but I'm sure it works on the others too) and I'm sure the other BSDs do too. I'm not recommending a new user use those, just pointing out the original statement is wrong.

They specifically said "top alternative OS".

Do you mean IRL? The only thing that IRW brings up is Islamic Relief Worldwide
