① Performance and Stability may vary depending on hardware. While Feren OS works beautifully well on a lot of machines, some machines could have certain issues running the OS, and/or may not run the OS in the intended way due to certain unsupported drivers.
​A rule of thumb is to check how well the OS performs (might have reduced performance due to running off external storage) when running from a Live USB, CD or DVD before proceeding to install the OS.
② Comparison applies to Operating Systems only when just installed, and before launching any applications whatsoever. Feren OS will always tell you upfront if any data collection is being done by our intention, and will give you an option to prevent it.
③ Requires an Internet Connection.
④ Excludes Major Updates. These are special updates that appear only once every two years, and bring with them a huge load of updates.
⑤ Just be sure to get an antivirus for that extra layer of security, and make sure it's one for Linux, because of as Linux gets more popular, it'll become more of a popular target for attackers, though, for now at least, these attacks are still reasonably rare compared to attacks at leading Operating Systems.
¹​​ Feren OS includes Vivaldi, and while it may not be opened automatically on startup, the usage of Vivaldi requires an agreement to Vivaldi's Privacy Policy and EULA. Other than that, there isn't anything else about Feren OS that will potentially dis-respect privacy automatically.
