**What do you like best about PCLinuxOS?**

Easy to use if you are familiar with OS  and general software. Can be faster than any other OS if correctly installed and used. Speed probably is the main advantage.

**What do you dislike about PCLinuxOS?**

If you are used to other OS then it might be quite difficult to switch to this as there are lots of differences especially if you are a sophisticated user. So the switch from on OS to this can be main painpoint.

**Recommendations to others considering PCLinuxOS:**

If you are switching from another OS think twice before moving to LinuxOS

**What problems is PCLinuxOS solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Helping to work remotely as I am using the Linux to access the office computer using a PC that is running a Linux OS. Also using for programming with this operating system which I think is more user friendly than other OS.
