Don't be forced to switch to Windows 10!

feren OS and many other Linux Distributions DO NOT block updates just because you're running next-gen Intel Kaby Lake, nor AMD Ryzen Chips... Give feren OS a try, because of WE DON'T spy on you (Search 'Windows 10 Basic Level Data Collection'), collect data, then be able to sell that data on to other third-parties. You may just prefer GNU/Linux over Windows Completely...

A new feren OS is coming.

feren OS 2017.0 Stable, The newest and best feren OS so far, now with Linux Mint 18.1, a fix to the mouse bug, and many more new additions, Coming May 1st.

feren OS is a truly great OS, say for example being this for it's constant beauty, updates & improvements. To create an OS like this, better than some of those PAID Operating Systems is truly mind-blowing and feren OS (really) should be congratulated for it. To create an OS like this and truly focus your attention on the detail of this OS is for me, brilliant!
Anonymous, a faithful customer of feren OS.

I think Feren OS is great. It is completely different from anything before it yet so familiar. I have high hopes for this and will not be surprised if this is The Next Big Thing.
