Oh this would be so good for messing with the "Microsoft Support" scammers...

[STONE_]

Its bad enough that they are using another companies property, Logo's, buttons etc, but on top of that they are charging for a License. Sounds really shady. Don't buy the License folks.

That Windows integration is the best I've seen in the last four years. I've been able to run StarCraft (my acid test) and it has been been running well for a week, a new record for me.

If this Distro goes under, the theme being used here is available as a Global KDE theme. If you check the box that says "Allow theme to dictate wallpapers and panel layouts". Or whatever it says, with one click it will rearrange your Desktop panels and everything to look like Windows. Not sure why anyone needs to know that. Just putting that out there.

This could be a good option if you're maintaining a family member's machine or something and want them to be on Linux but also use something that's familiar. I see a use case for it there. Otherwise, i don't see much value in this. Other than just for fun.

Hey, can you do a full tutorial on how to install Yubikeys into Qubes?

[limbs]

Can you review Kumander Linux as well?

[GFunkEra]

That intro made me laugh! +10 points for gryffindor

[bhargavjitbhuyan]

The only issues I ever had with linux are battery life and wayland. I am using endeavour OS kde. Auto cpufreq has issues and my Intel gou doesnot accelerate videos 'vp9' on linux.

Not sure how I feel about this Tom. I can see some benefits to it for the person wanting Linux but struggles to change muscle memory. Realistically, you can get a Windows key for less than this distro which I also struggle with charging for Linux in the first place. Also, I still would have to believe they are opening themselves to liability with Microsoft. Who knows, if they do get sued by them, would anyone using it also be dragged into it? They were slapped once before, we shall see if it happens again.

[Rabenov-wqqyqgt]

The system contains a lot of Microsoft software, and I think that's why they aren't being sued. But there are things to consider: it's not open source, no support, what about data security? From my experience with LinuxFx, I know that updates can be as lengthy as the original. And the activation prompts get annoying. Please do a few tests regarding Wine. Does this work better on Wubuntu?

[kpcraftster]

The first six seconds, but unironically 👁👃👁 Wine is getting better? Sure about that?

[mariojpalomares]

Now i seen everything. But begs to ask..Why???😅😅

[vladimirdorta]

It runs OneDrive, while none of the others do. If only it could run WordPerfect, I would switch in a second. I have tried Linux for years and have the latest Linux Mint on my laptop.

[tech-bore]

0:00-0:18 Swap Microsoft with Apple, and that'd be a great Techlore impression

[shaunpatrick]

They were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should.

[ratlinuxgamer]

Does contains ads like windows, if not mheee🥳

[RobertTreat]

Not much information to be found on this. Has substantial closed source software from some things I read. I wouldn't put it on my hardware but I'm not their marketing target nor many here. It's a way to put a familiar OS onto machines for Windows users who may have older and unsupported hardware and are fed up.

[TheSolidSnakeOil]

Yeah, MS definitely didn't have an issue with Lindows.

[ericg]

How do you moove the menu on the left and remove this bullshit wiget on the left and how do you uninstall copilot

[ShookD]

It's cool but I would feel I'm going back to windows.
