I do not have the skills to work-on/repair OSs alternative, if something goes wrong. Are there any top alternative Computer OSs that have IRW computer repairpeople that was work on computers that use their OSs? If the answer is yes, then around what USA cities?

Thank You, for everyone seriously trying help me. Which is most the replies:)!

I cannot agree more with what you said, but I was giftee, not the gifter.

That makes things even simpler. You hate Windows, put what you want on it. You can't change that it came with Windows, but you can change what it has tomorrow.

the current computer repairperson said he only does Windows

I would find a different computer repairman. That said, Frameworks are also quite repairable (that is kinda their whole thing). It's an excellent system to get started with learning computer stuff yourself. Fixing your problems as you come across them is a great way to learn.

What's the specific problem you are having with it? We could point you in the right direction.

Thank you, but tablet low on battery,

No specific problem, except Frameworks’ undersized screens! Hate small screens!

My brother (in the software repair industry) loves Frameworks & Windows, & so do I love that part of Frameworks, so I have a small beginning understanding.

I cannot afford to have new LT out for a long time, while i learn.

The framework guides online are actually pretty easy to follow. Honesty I would just spend an afternoon swapping the battery. As long as you take your time you should be fine.
