Endless OS: Analysis of the operating system and its features

In the world of technology, new options appear all the time to make devices more efficient, less slow, contain more files and many other requirements that end up becoming a must have on the subject. 

A new operating system has been taking over the market and making a lot of noise, bothering competitors such as Windows and Mac. This is the Endless OS, based on a lightweight system with a very simplified interface and very little need for commands. 

It sounds too good to be true, doesn’t it? But it already exists and is available on the market for testing. Since it arrived, few haven’t praised the innovative product. To learn more about this operating system and its features, read on. 

What is the Endless OS Operating System?

This is the new complete and fully Linux-based operating system. 

It’s not an update to old systems, it’s not a new type of program or interface improvements graphic, it is an operating system such as Windows and MacOS. 

With an essentially familiar target audience, its resources are designed to offer an intuitive and simplified experience, focusing on the educational part. 

Minimum requirements and ideas for using it

The main idea of Endless OS is to keep everything extremely simplified and to offer an experience similar to the mobile experience on computers.

The requirements to run the system are low; it works on any type of computer, even old desktops.

Endless cannot be installed on x86 (32-bit) processors and does not work on AMR processors. It takes up a maximum of 32GB, and the normal installation takes up 16GB.

The company’s CEO researched for years the difficulties faced by the main audience – who are low-income people with little or any access to computers – to develop the best possible operating system.

Step by step for installing Endless OS

To install the system, the first step is to download the ISO file from the Endless system, usually via Torrent.

Once downloaded, it is necessary to have a 16GB or higher flash drive with no preferred data and follow the following step by step.

  • When the boot process starts, on the first screen that appears, click Next, after choosing the language.
  • Then click on “format this computer with Endless OS”; it will show the ISO size and system version.
  • If you are connected to the internet, it will show another option, an option that downloads update files. If not, just continue.
  • The following screen shows the discs. Select the disk where the system should be installed.
  • If you check the dialog boxes, all files on the partitions will be deleted. It only needs a partition with a size of 32Gb.
  • All done, click next.
  • Wait for the process to complete.
  • Finished, just restart the computer.

Discover some of the features of Endless OS

The system arrived with truly new and surprising features on the market, causing curiosity and great feedback from its users.

Below, we have selected three of the most interesting features that, without a doubt, are the differentiator of this operating system.

Internet content available offline

That is, without a doubt, the icing on the cake of Endless OS. The system is completely optimized to be used without the need for internet access, providing program packages, games, information and applications.

Of course, it also works with the Internet normally, but in the absence of a Wi-Fi signal, it is possible to have access to information and programs.

Over 100 offline apps

Within the platform, more than one hundred apps are available that are completely independent of connection.

It is an infinite variety to cover everything you may need: spreadsheet and slide applications, text and video editors, music, encyclopedias with over 80,000 articles for consultation, and much more.

Games and applications aimed at fun are also available on the system, which has partnerships with major brands, such as Steam, for example.

With such famous browsers and service utilities, Endless OS is not a closed platform and has a wide catalog of content that can be added to the experience.

Multimedia Support

The new system updates, since they became available, have brought more and more support for multimedia, allowing the expansion of content and support for new applications, with the possibility of offline use.

Advantages and disadvantages of the operating system

Like any operating system, Endless OS has its strengths and its weaknesses.

Based on its objective, which is to provide an experience close to that of smartphones and reach an audience that is familiar with mobile devices but not much with computers, the operating system defends its point.

As advantages, we can highlight:

  • It has an interface that is very reminiscent of that of a smartphone, making the computer experience almost intuitive;
  • Beautiful and well-developed design;
  • Simple learning for those who are not familiar;
  • Safe and lightweight system;

Many resources have

  • returned to education;
  • Easy to be accessed by children, and many others.

As for drawbacks, we can highlight the following points:

  • Some delay in its updates;
  • it has difficulties with multitasking, that is, opening many tabs leaves the system operating slowly;
  • few options for customizing the system.

After all, is it worth using Endless OS?

This is an operating system that was studied, designed and developed to reach a specific audience: those who are not used to computers and people with lower incomes or who have difficulties connecting to the internet.

When making a fair analysis of the system, it is necessary to take this information into account and, based on this assumption, yes, Endless OS performs its function very well in a light, didactic way and focused on being an excellent offline and online utility.

The Linux-based system is well worth giving a chance.
