"PureOS - A Secure and Open Source Operating System for Everyone"
4/5
What do you like best about PureOS?

The best thing about PureOS is its commitment to user privacy and security. PureOS is a fully free and open-source Linux distribution that is built on top of Debian and is designed to be secure, reliable and easy to use. It comes with built-in privacy and security features like secure boot, sandboxing, and end-to-end encryption. It also has a wide range of applications and software packages available for installation, including web browsers, office suites, multimedia programs, and games. PureOS also provides a range of tools for developers and system administrators, making it a great choice for both users and developers alike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PureOS?

PureOS has some drawbacks. One of the biggest complaints about PureOS is its lack of hardware compatibility. Since PureOS is focused on privacy and security, the developers are less likely to include proprietary hardware drivers, which makes it difficult to use certain hardware on the system. Additionally, PureOS does not have access to an extensive software repository like other operating systems, which means users may have trouble finding specialized software. Finally, PureOS is still a relatively new operating system and may lack some of the features and stability of more established operating systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Privacy for the Workplace"
4/5
What do you like best about PureOS?

PureOS is, at heart a straightforward operating system that takes the user friendly approach of Ubuntu, with a plethora of open source software options allied to a privacy conscious model that helps keep data secure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PureOS?

There is of course a lack of many business applications available for Linux, which can be a problem in some instances. Open Source alternatives exist for many needs and these are often good but more obscure or strongly enforced proprietary formats will not always be accessible. A move to PureOS would need careful management and the willingness to embrace whole new systems throughout any organisation Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
