REMIX OS reviewed by ConvergeQuick TEAM : Pros and Cons

Our team member DAVID VISHNOI has personally reviewed the very renowned operating system these days that is REMIX OS by JIDE inc. .
Must say being a developer really their work is appreciable and hats off to the concept.
It doesn't require any drivers for graphic processing ,wireless LAN ,Ethernet or Bluetooth.
All are recognized by the OS itself.

The UI is Perfect and most likely like a Linux.
And Being a part of android open source program it is really cool, NOW you can use all your favorite apps on the pc and that too without Lags.

PROS:

Awesome UI
Android OS ie: Access to more than 5 lakh+ apps and games.
Very fast Boot.
Compatible with dual boot.
No Lag so far.

No need of drivers.

CONS:

Can only be installed on a FAT32 file system drive ie: A 3.0 Flash Drive.(can be used on hard disk with little bit of tweaks).
File manager shows only 4 GB user memory available.
While booting it asks whether to resume from previous user data or do a fresh start ,which is pretty awkward. I mean who wanna reset his pc every time he turns it on.

While password protection turned ON,we wake it up from sleep then it doesn't take any input from the keyboard

Without handicap, you can't succeed

Without handicap, you can't succeed.

ALEXANDER Wolcott once said: "Many of us spend half our time wishing for things we could have." If we have a goal in mind, we should do something about it and not wait till everything is perfect. That moment will never come. Instead of wasting our time in deciding whether we should do a thing or not, go ahead and do it and face the consequences too. If we keep on procrastinating, we are handling the stress of "by and by" which will only lead to the house of "never".

An excellent time-saving habit is to start things on time. A little delay lengthens the day.

As someone once said: "Lose an hour in the morning and you will be all day seeking it. It is when your choices or duties overlap that you get into trouble." A well planned day should bring you to bedtime without having "to kill time" waiting for it.

A patient once told a psychiatrist "Doctor, my wife has diamonds and silk clothes. We live in a penthouse apartment. We own a farm house and have a chauffeur to drive our Rolls-Royce." The psychiatrist asked: "My dear man, what is your problem?" The man replied: "Doctor, I am only a clerk." The psychiatrist asked: "My dear man, what is your problem?" The man replied: "Doctor, I am only a clerk." The psychiatrist asked: "Then how do you have all these things you described?" The man replied: "We don't have these things but my wife has a dream."

Well, dreams should be manageable and within reach. A psychiatrist once said: "No matter whether you are rich or poor or have more problems than the other guy, if all the troubles of the world are gathered together and auctioned off to the highest bidder, most probably we would buy back our troubles than the other guy's. Ultimately, what counts in the end is our ability and not disability. Helen Keller, the best known handicapped woman in the world, said: " No man had ever a defect that was not somewhere useful to him. I thank God for my handicaps, without them I could not have succeeded."

It is like the turtle. Some of them live to ripe old age but spend their whole lives in a protected shell. If it is to move, it has to stick its neck out. Similarly, before we are ready to perform, we must have the courage to come out of our shell. We would discover new truths erasing old falsehoods about ourselves.
