Alternative operating system for Microsoft Windows has been gaining attention lately. If not for their unique interface, the simplicity of such software continues to attract users and enthusiasts worldwide.

One of the highly notable alternatives to Windows OS would be the Ubuntu. It is considered as the best alternative available that is free.

For newbies, this particular software is a Linux-based OS, which could be available for other devices like smartphones and servers. It may not be known to everyone, but such Windows alternative is quite popular, a testament to this would be some laptop and desktop computers being shipped with Ubuntu by default.

Another alternative to Windows that is Linux-based would be the Linux Mint or Mint Linux. Unlike Ubuntu, this OS is a community-driven Linux distribution. It comes with a bunch of cool features and intuitive User Interface, making it a tougher to install for some newbies.

If you are looking for a Microsoft Windows alternative that is somehow a fully-fledged version of Android, then you should try Remix OS. This operating system gives you same Android experience on your Window-based PC.

It is still a Linux-based OS, which you can boot up after setting up Ubuntu or Linux Mint. For PC installation, you can download ISO and do as per the standard procedure or simply get Remix OS Player for PC.

Another rising alternative to Microsoft OS would be the Chrome OS. It continues to attract consumers for its fresh look and faster performance, with a boot time of about 7 seconds.

The source code for Chrome OS was first released in July 2009, which is part of a larger project called Chromium. Similar to the previously mentioned Windows alternatives, this OS also has a connection to Linux and runs on Intel x86 and ARM chips.

Lastly, if you want an almost equally popular operating system as an alternative to Windows OS, you should try Mac OS X or macOS. As known to everyone, it is the official operating system for desktop developed by Apple. It is also the second widely used OS in the world.
