Tria Operating System detects hard & soft specs of the PC where you run the program, offering the ability to load this info or specify it manually to let the program inform you what would be the best operating system for a specific PC, with the specified hardware, and then see the difference by adding RAM, a SSD hard drive, changing the graphics card ... etc.

    Program useful for no IT experts and also for IT / ITC experts, easy to use. You can use it to : A) find out which operating system will give a PC the best performance B) find out which operating system would give the best performance to a PC if any part is added, removed or replaced (RAM, hard disk, graphics card, processor ... etc) C) Compare release year of that Operating Systems, offering the choice of GNU/Linux Distros and / or Windows Operating Systems.

    A very easy-to-use program, to know which is the operating system that will get the best out of any pc, also useful to find out what expansion it may need so that our preferred operating system is the one that gives the best performance to the pc. It is a very new program, but I only see 2 things that could be improved: 1. The Linux version performs the initial hardware detection process much faster than the Windows version. 2. The documentation and manuals can be improved.
