众所周知，Windows是领先的操作系统，占据了 75% 左右的市场份额，位居榜首。有时，用户想要暂时停止凝视通常的Windows UI，而仅仅因为您对Windows感到厌烦而购买^(Windows)Mac或Apple产品可能是一件牵强附会的事情。在这种情况下，您可能会问，对于高级用户是否有Windows的替代品？^(Windows)对于高级用户，有很多免费的Windows替代品，如果您正在寻找相同的替代品，那么您来对地方了。本文将指导您了解适用于高级用户的Windows 10的最佳替代方案。^{(Windows 10)}

如何为高级用户选择 Windows 的最佳免费替代品^{(How to Choose Best Free Alternatives to Windows for Advanced Users)}

在从Windows^(Windows)舒适环境切换之前，您必须记住几点。我们列出了一些要点，这些要点应作为决定哪种操作系统可以很好地服务于您的数字生活方式的基础。

一、主要目的或用途^{(1. Main Purpose or Use)}

• 在切换到新的操作系统之前，首先要记住的是目的。这一需求进一步将需求分为三类用途： 桌面用途、服务器用途和特殊用途^{(desktop use, server use, and special purposes)}。
• 对于桌面使用，您需要一个能够提供出色的日常使用性能并且核心用户友好的操作系统。它需要具有 良好 GUI 或图形用户界面^{(good GUI or graphical user interface)}的操作系统 来处理从简单的文字处理到游戏需求的各种事情。
• 服务器^(Server)使用呈现在GUI最少的场景中，并且大多数任务都是使用命令行完成的。操作系统专注于用于进行 日常维护和性能稳健性^{(daily maintenance and performance robustness)}的工具和实用程序，最大限度地减少用户交互。
• 然后是为特殊目的而构建的操作系统。它的主要关注点是一种 特殊的需求^{(particular need)}，并消除了其他操作系统中可能经常发生的事情。尽管如此，这个特制操作系统的主要关注点并不需要它。因此^(Hence)，对于不关心操作系统的主要目的的人来说，它可能是无用的。

2. 用户友好性^{(2. User Friendliness)}

• 从Windows^(Windows)迁移需要从头开始，在新的操作系统上进行规划。这意味着用户可能会探索并找到新的东西来习惯它。
• 因此^(Hence)，使用级别将用户群分为两个不同的派别：初学者和专家^{(Beginners and Experts)}。
• 虽然一些操作系统简化了用户的迁移过程，满足了他们的需求并在他们的用户界面设计中牢记这一点，但其他操作系统希望用户事先了解他们在操作系统中的使用方式。
• 操作系统变得至关重要，在进行切换之前必须牢记，这取决于专业水平。这是为高级用户提供免费Windows替代品的重要因素之一。^(Windows)

3. 支持^{(3. Support)}

• 操作系统迁移^(System)对于普通的日常用户来说并不常见，但从商业角度来看却意义重大。
• Microsoft制作了用于商业用途的操作系统及其产品的不同版本。但这些价格标签与正常消费价格不同。
• 因此，迁移到免费提供相同服务^{(identical services free of cost)} 的操作系统  使得企业从Windows转换为不费脑子的选择。
• 但在开始全公司范围的迁移之前，有必要检查新操作系统是否适合企业用户的特殊支持服务。
• 如果出现影响所有计算机的错误并可能影响生产力，那么一个人在公司范围内进行所有更改将是一项艰巨的任务。
• 拥有对行业的支持可以轻松 解决操作系统错误和^{(taking care of operating system errors and issues)} 有关驱动程序等组件的问题以及从他们身边安装的问题。从长远来看，这是非常有帮助的。

4. 硬件兼容性^{(4. Hardware Compatibility)}

• 如果您的操作系统甚至无法在其上运行或不支持它，那么还需要什么功能强大的顶级配置机器？这个基本因素在选择下一个操作系统时起着重要作用。
• 操作系统的 系统要求^{(system requirement)} 不容忽视，并且可能会在安装过程中或在您进行某些操作时造成复杂性。
•  大多数时候，您可能面临的问题是您的硬件组件 缺少 合适的驱动程序，基本上使它们无法使用。^{(proper drivers)}
• 强烈建议您 在安装之前进行研究，^{(research before the installation)} 以避免遇到可能锁定您的问题，从而导致完全放弃系统。

5. 软件兼容性^{(5. Software Compatibility)}

• 另一个需要注意的问题是，您大部分时间在 Windows 上使用的应用程序是否会在您的目标Windows 替代方案上运行。^{(Windows will run on the alternative for Windows)}
• 但是，对于某些高级用户而言，这是Windows^(Windows)的免费替代品之一可能很难过渡，并且可能完全违背迁移的目的。
• 许多应用程序支持多个平台^{(Many applications support multiple platforms)}，在不同的操作系统上保持相同的体验。但并非所有应用程序都需要它。
• 因此^(Hence)，有必要寻找支持您日常使用应用程序的操作系统。

6. 用户群^{(6. User Base)}

• 这个因素通常会被用户忽略，但在需要时起着至关重要的作用。
• Windows有大量用户每天都面临新的错误或错误，他们求助于在线论坛和其他资源，以从其他可能遇到相同问题并可能已经解决的用户那里找到答案。
• 操作系统社区^{(community of an operating system)} 也可以在需要时成为您的救命稻草 。 
• 在许多开源项目中，用户提出了解决方案，并且这些解决方案很多时候得到了操作系统开发人员的认可。

6 Best Free Alternatives to Windows for Advanced Users

We all know that Windows is the leading operating system, and it ranks in the top position due to around 75% of the market. Sometimes, υѕers want a break from gazing at the usual Windows UI, and getting а Mac or Aрplе product jυst because you arе bored of Windows can be a far-fetched thing. In such a scenario, you might ask, is there an alternаtive to Windowѕ for advanced users? There are a lot of freе alternatives to Windows for advanсеd υsers, and if you are searching for the same, you are at the right placе. This article will guide you on the beѕt alternatives to Windows 10 for advanced users.

How to Choose Best Free Alternatives to Windows for Advanced Users

You must keep a few points in mind before you switch from a Windows comfortable environment. We have made a list of a few points that should serve as the basis for deciding which operating system would serve your digital lifestyle well.

1. Main Purpose or Use

• Before switching to a new OS, the first thing to keep in mind is the purpose. This demand further divided the requirement into three groups of usage: desktop use, server use, and special purposes.
• For desktop use, you need an operating system that delivers great day-to-day usage performance and is user-friendly at its core. It requires an operating system with a good GUI or graphical user interface to handle things from simple word processing to gaming needs.
• Server use presents itself in a scenario where GUI is minimal, and most of the tasks are done using the command line instead. The operating system focuses on the tools and utilities used to conduct daily maintenance and performance robustness, minimizing the user interaction to the least.
• Then comes an operating system that is built for special purposes. Its major focus is a particular need and eliminates things that might be a common occurrence in other operating systems. Still, it is not needed for the main concern of this specially made operating system. Hence, it can be useless for someone who is not concerned with the main purpose for which the operating system is made.

2. User Friendliness

• Migrating from Windows requires starting from scratch to map your way around the new operating system. This means the user will likely explore and find new things to get used to it.
• Hence, the usage level divides the user base into two different factions: Beginners and Experts.
• While some operating systems ease the migration process for the users, accommodating their needs and keeping this in mind in their user interface design, other operating systems expect users to know their way around the operating system beforehand.
• The operating system becomes crucial and must be kept in mind before making the switch, depending on the level of expertise. This is one of the important factors with free alternatives to Windows for advanced users.

3. Support

• Operating System migration is not that common for a normal daily user but means significant when seen from a commercial point of view.
• Microsoft makes a different version of both the operating system and its product meant for commercial use. But these come with a different price tag than the normal consumer price.
• So, migrating to an operating system that offers identical services free of cost makes it a no-brainer choice for corporates to switch from Windows.
• But before starting a company-wide migration, it is necessary to check if the new operating system caters to special support services for corporate users.
• It would be an arduous task for a person to make all the changes company-wide if there is an error affecting all computers and can affect productivity.
• Having support for industries eases things up with taking care of operating system errors and issues regarding components like drivers and installation from their side. It is very helpful in the long run.

4. Hardware Compatibility

• What is the need for an all beefed up, top-of-the-line configuration machine if your operating system doesn’t even work on it or doesn’t support it? This essential factor plays a major role in choosing your next operating system.
• The system requirement of an operating system is nothing to be ignored and can create complications during the installation or while you are in the middle of something.
• Most of the time, the issue you may face is a lack of proper drivers for your hardware components, basically rendering them unusable.
• It is strongly advised that you do your research before the installation to avoid running into a problem that may lock you in, resulting in ditching the system altogether.

5. Software Compatibility

• Another question to look out for is whether the application you use most of the time on Windows will run on the alternative for Windows you are aiming for.
• But this one of the free alternatives to Windows for advanced users transition can be hard for some and may defeat the purpose of migration altogether.
• Many applications support multiple platforms, continuing the same experience across different operating systems. But it is not required for all applications.
• Hence, looking for an operating system that supports your daily use application is necessary.

6. User Base

• This factor generally gets overlooked by the users but plays a vital role at times of need.
• Windows has an ample number of users who face a new error or bug every day, and they turn to online forums and other resources to find their answers from other users that may have faced the same problem at their end and may have solved it.
• The community of an operating system can also be your saving grace in times of need.
• In many open-sourced projects, the users come up with solutions, and many times these solutions are acknowledged by the developers of the operating system.
