- EndlessOS is targeted toward education in countries lacking computer technologies. They have a lot of compelling features to their system, but there are also a lot of huge concerns. Here we will look at the installation, setup, and use.

Just a glimpse of the off-the-shelf web site tells me all I need to know...
Please tell me this monstrosity won't take over in the emerging markets they target... D:
Now i think comes preinstalled to some Acer Desktop PCs
@@ellinasmarios6165 Ugh
@@ellinasmarios6165 Though people buy it cheaper to switch to windows afterwards.
when i saw the title and the length of the video, l thought this cant be right
I tried this "distro" and it was poop >:(
Why it's good
Hey I got a confusion actually a big one whatvis endless os i heard this when i was checking a desktop cpu in flipkart asus desktop gpu core i3 9100 and it says the operating system is endless os so can i switch it back to windows 10 and is endless os better than windows 10 ?
almost bought a laptop with this on
Thanks a lot for your review
How do we factory reset on endless laptop
How do i reset it
I dont want that how do i remove it
Thank you, Tom. Too bad. This mission is important and why I supported Ubuntu very strongly when it first came out so long ago.
Human nature!.... A long time ago programmers share software freely until Bill came to an idea. You know it's shady when they broke the infinity symbol and call their OS "endless".
Problem solved! I found a Linux Mint 18 disk which I installed to replace the evil Endless OS.
Honesty it is not a bad Linux distro. But it takes more hard drive space than you think and it seems that they are trying to add more to the updates. I wonder why?
Any other license agreement then GNU GPL=I am not using it.
Bro isme free fire play kar sakte h
it maybe Ubuntu because the behavior of the GNOME based desktop is similar to GNOME 3.36
i'm sure... (or maybe Debian sid)
Which Linux os do you recommend for old laptop with low memory
How many Ram memory do you have? Try Lubuntu or any Linux distribution with XFCE desktop environment, such as MX LInux, Xubuntu, Linux Mint XFCE, Linux Lite, Peppermint OS
@Username_5472397 avoid windows is better
I'd say MX Linux or Peppermint
Depends mostly on the amount of RAM you have.
* For 1GB or less, I'd go for for AntiX or Bodhi Linux.
* From 1 - 2 GB, I'd use Sparky LXQT, Linux Lite or Lubuntu. Maybe even Peppermint OS if you're into web apps.
* From 2 - 4 GB, go with MX Linux or Manjaro XFCE.
Honestly, with 4GB you can use pretty much anything if your processor is up to speed, but the web is so bloated nowadays that you'd be quickly bottlenecked while browsing on a more resource heavy Desktop Environment like Gnome or KDE.
Ironically anything using KDE Plasma can also be considered lightweight these days.
Hm.. 5:31.. first commercial starts and the OS review didn't even really begin...
How is that arbitration part even legal ?
I'm not defending it in slightest, but Google Chrome OS does some of this, but not near as bad, and they have gotten away with it for years, but it does make you wonder.
Well, you can write down most anything (as long as it is legal and not outright crazy) and call it a contract. If someone 'signs' that contract, it binds him legally.
@@OldieBugger That is indeed true there, and most people will never take time to read a EULA before they hit the agree button because they are usually way too long, and written in legal speak they can't understand, or want to take the time to understand.
Endless privacy violations.
Is endlessOS open source?
This maybe a worthwhile faustian bargain for an secondary older machine. 17:36 Oh wow maybe not.
You have mispelled the word computer to compauter
Thanks. Fixed!
This distro has one agenda, and is a biased one...
Great analysis!
Thank you for this review. It was a real eye opener for me as I installed this thing a couple of months back and didn't bother to read the agreement which, now that you have exposed it for what it is, I find it very disturbing. I want to run, not walk, away from Endless OS but it seems I am thwarted in trying to replace it with POP OS. I downloaded the ISO for POP OS but then when I tried to use Rufus to burn it to a USB drive I got a message saying "Rufus is not acceptable on Endless OS". I then read of similar problems with other Endless OS users online and heard that an app called "Disk" in the Endless App Center would do the trick. But every time I try to use Disk it crashes. It seems the endless powers at be have made an otherswise simple proceedure very complicated. . Before I resort to DBan burn of the HD and sending cleansing my thinkpad of this menacing os and then purchasing a preinstalled Linux Mint USB Drive or other distro would you have any suggestions to avoid that?
If you are able to switch Paul, I've really been liking Pop OS on my laptop. Has some nifty multitasking features I really like - automatic window tiling and tabbed programs (like in a browser, but you can group some applications with tabs)
use command "dd" in terminal to burn an ISO:
sudo dd if=xxx.iso of=/dev/sdb
i think that should work
@@correorodi Be VERY careful with this! If /dev/sdb isn't a USB drive but rather a hard drive in the system, then this will overwrite the hard drive. The dd command gives no warnings, double check that you're writing to the right drive before using the command.
@@theodiscusgaming3909 well said
Facebook, whatsapp, twitter gmail, google chrome.... and more are preinstalled and you can't remove them. So much for privacy and "kids friendly" distro.
You can actually uninstall the apps through the app store, I uninstalled almost 6gb of apps I'll never use. The thing that made me pause is there is a metrics app pre installed.
Linuxreviews.org found some typical corporate EULA.
linuxreviews.org/Endless_OS#The_License
2017:
"4.1 Default. Certain information is reported to Endless periodically by the Service. This information includes the version of the OS which was installed and is currently being used, the device that is being used to run the OS and its approximate location, how the OS was installed, and how long the OS has been installed on that device."
2017:
"Termination of Use; Discontinuation and Modification of the Service. If you violate any provision of these Terms, your permission to use the Service will terminate automatically. Additionally, Endless, in its sole discretion may suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time, with or without notice. We also reserve the right to modify or discontinue the Service at any time (including, without limitation, by limiting or discontinuing certain features of the Service) without notice to you."
Zorin OS education
shady
A system that don't give you free rain of sudo commands🙄 nope😂😂 ill stick with Linux Mint😁
This is more guys concerned with a fairly Generic User agreement, And the political affiliation of a slightly leaning left cnn and a Slightly leaning right BBC, rather than the actual operating system itself. Bro just a little tip. user agreements are usually written by a lawyer, who has no technical knowledge of the thing he is writing, And who are just a one time contractor, it's also not uncommon for them to just be purchased off the Internet put in some very basic info and bam there's your user agreement. Don't get freaked out over user agreements. they very rarely actually hold water in court.😥😥😥
good review.
The talk about "politics" and "balance" is laughable.
BBC, CNN and FORBES aren't leaning any political direction except CORPORATE, which is to say mainstream, popular, daily news information that always comes with some implicit bias, as does everything.
What do you want, Drudge and American Conservative blogs as options on an education centered distro? Get real.
I'm Brazilian, so I don't follow BBC nor CNN much. I don't know their political views, but saying that people have to know both sides of a story is wrong. A story has only one side when it's concerned to the news which is THE TRUTH! If both do this, then Endless OS is on a good path. If not, I just have to say sorry. A story never has two sides.
There is no truth. Truth is dead
Tried it and frankly it's like cnn designed it. I'll stick with MX-Linux thanks.
kote kote metl hi
This OS is not to me...
The terms of use sounds like lawyers made this OS. I would not ever install this on any computer. It looks to me that if this is for Countries without technologies they are betting on any educational intuition not reading the terms of use carefully and or not understanding it. And the fact that its will auto install updates and the bios changes. They can stuck this where the sun does not shine.
The BBC and CNN bias comments tells me not to bother following your channel anymore.
I will pass.
Well that's a shitty OS
Wow. A very unjustified review... Why comment, before checking anything at all, as if you have any information? Any idea without information is scary...
This seems a very political review.
THIS CRAPPY OS IS TRASH
HELP ME! I BOUGHT A MONSTER LAPTOP WITH THIS CRAP OS INSTALLED AND IT IS LITERALLY NOT ALLOWING MY DISK TO BE SEEN BY FEDORA🥲
Boot the computer with any Linux iso and wipe the drive first WARNING: All data will be lost. Then you should be able to install any distro you want (Do at your own risk since i dont know exactly what you have).
