Review on PureOS by Carl Morgan

Revainrating 5 out of 5

PureOS is a very fast, easy to use and complete operating system

I like that it uses only free software (as best as possible). It also seems to be very easy to use and has some pretty cool features such as custom desktop widgets for your home screen which can give you real-time updates about things going on in public while you're out traveling or doing other tasks. So far so good! In terms of security, since everything runs through ClamAV, there really isn't anything else I need to worry about here. Also, using this instead of Android means there's no chance of having any potential spyware running on my device. This should eliminate malware from being able to "phone home" without me knowing about it. I like the way that PureOS looks and feels. It's beautiful. The user interface is very well thought out and easy to use. No additional software is needed for most things you want to do. If you're looking for something fast and light, this is it. I don't think I've found anything that would make me want to switch away from it. I'm running my servers on a couple of computers using PureOS. They are fast and responsive.
