LinuxFX (Windows 10 Linux)

[AlphaJohn]

Dont know if anyone will find this interesting/useful

There is a distro I never heard of that tries to mimic Windows 10 all the way to the boot and Application level. Great of you want to switch someone that find Mint/Ubuntu or such's UI as daunting:

Windowsfx Operating System

Download Windowsfx Operating System for free. Windowsfx Operating System. No need for TPM module, secure boot or any other nonsense. It's secure and fast, like Linux should be, and extremely easy to use, like Microsoft Windows should be.

sourceforge.net

DistroWatch.com: Linuxfx

News and feature lists of Linux and BSD distributions.

distrowatch.com

Ubuntu Clone with Windows skins and Icons (Even run some exe's without user intervention)

For me it's gonna be a cool prank, no idea why else. I wanna see how long it takes for someone to notice...

Is that a desktop environment or Distribution?
Can you add it to Ubuntu/Similar?

I'm using DDE, but would like to test it out without reinstalling.

No thanks.

Reminds me of this: Lamborghini Gallardo made to look like a Ford Mustang.

Looks like a full distro, havent actually installed it myself. Just saw it in some Youtube video and then watched the reviews. Will try it out over the weekend and see what it really is.

What draw my attention to it:

Thanks.

There's a few things that put me off:
Really blatant "borrowing" from MS, (although won't be noticed by a beginner or non-tech person.)
I'm concerned that MS might make a fuss about this soon, thereby ending the distro completely.
I also see it is a full-fledged distro, not a DE, the DE is Cinnamon.

If I feel up to it sometime in future, I'll run it in a VM and test it.
It didn't impress me after watching the video.

So all of Windows 10 ugliness with none of the device or application compatability?

I already do everything this OS offers. My Windows desktop is effectively a frontend for the WSL2 distro I do all my work on.

If you ganna go Linux, Gnome is a better DE.

If you like the way that Apple does things.

If you like the way that Windows does things, Cinnamon is a better choice.
