Mum tries out Risc OS 3.11 (1992)
1,107You know... there's more to operating systems than just Mac, Windows and Linux. A LOT MORE! But what do these alternatives look like? Well, let's check out just one of them titled "Risc OS" made for the Acorn A5000 Computer. An interesting fact is that Risc OS is Arm based just like most mobile devices such as iPads and iPhones we have today. Risc OS may look modern for 1992 but the way it functions is well... just watch the video ;)

The mother in this video uses Windows XP (2001) as her main OS dual booted with Elementary OS (a fast Linux distro). Would you like to see her try out Linux, Mac, Windows or other operating systems through history such as OS/360 (1966)? Then give your suggestions in the comments section. Give this video lots of likes, views, favorites and comments if you want my mum to try out other operating systems. I am open to any operating system suggestions you give especially if these videos go semi-viral (over 100,000 views). This channel is dedicated to me "introducing" people (mum, dad, me) to different operating systems they have never used before and leaving them to suffer in confusion struggling to do anything in an unknown computer environment... or see if these other operating systems are better than Microsoft Windows.
