I do not have the skills to work-on/repair OSs alternative, if something goes wrong. Are there any top alternative Computer OSs that have IRW computer repairpeople that was work on computers that use their OSs? If the answer is yes, then around what USA cities?

Thank You, for everyone seriously trying help me. Which is most the replies:)!

    You don’t really need a computer repair person for a Framework. It’s designed to be trivially repairable: if something breaks, buy the part from their website, unplug it, and change it yourself.

    If your operating system breaks, here’s what you do:

    • Put anything important on a USB drive. You should always do this anyway.

    • Hit “refresh my PC” in Windows. This will reinstall Windows for you.

    I’m not directly answering your question because it’s kind of unanswerable. We have no idea if there are local “computer repair people” that can work on Linux (which is what you are talking about); only you would know that based on phoning up people around you where you live. Ask them “do you guys fix Linux stuff?”

    You can install Linux yourself easily, and get a system that’s basically not going to get a virus on it anyway. You can even do it and keep windows: it’s not either/or.

      I hear you on that, but if we are just talking about Linux (that appears to be the one to go with), then I should have been able to go to Linux’s official website & get them to provide me with licensed/trustworthy option(s) for me. Like any other services-product,
