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:)!

Is that first sentence a joke?

No, you can pay for support like from RedHat on their enterprise workstation Linux. I would only recommend if downtime on that laptop would be more detrimental than the amount you pay for support. Otherwise self help and a bit of google-fu would usually be all you need to do any troubleshooting.

So I guess your solution depends on how much you want to spend and how you value your time.

I meant "Linux User Groups" and "volunteer project."

That's a sort of perplexing way of saying there are free operating systems with good online support. And paid operating systems with paid support, if that's what you prefer.
