Linux that Works and Looks like Windows

Well, this is weird... what kind of madman would put Metro UI and Cortana in this thing? Let's run some Windows setup programs on this.

We are very aware of this distro here in Brasil. The developer has this parking camera system that is also very good (a friend of mine uses it at his company). You can read in his website that the distro is aimed to make it easier for small business to adopt Linux and save on costs of software and hardware, but the development stopped because we don't have a digital signature certificate (made by gov) that runs smoothly in GNU/Linux systems and it's a big wall to generate invoices and other State taxes... Brasil was once, during the rule of Workers Party, an example of Open Source software adoption, but just after the coup d'etat in 2016 the first thing they did (even before taking our oil recent findings) was to move all the Federal gov software to Microsoft, so it became easier to spy us...

Should have added the "activate windows" watermark too for that authentic windows experience.

mom: we've got windows at home

a windows user would be like: "oh nice the explorer looks better than normal."
_open windows drive_
"What the—"

As a Brazilian, I'm having mixed feelings about this XD

This is the uncanny valley of software. It looks so close to the real thing, yet the small differences (paradoxically) make it stand out really hard.

Now why don't they do this but instead of Metro, do Windows 7 Aero.

The Metro UI is supposed to feel more modern than the old UI. I wish they could make it feel more like windows 7 again, that was perfect. Windows 11 feels more like KDE though, which I quite like.

Thanks for uploading.
What a hirarious distribution Linux FX is!
Although it is bound by how well wine works, the crazy similarity made me even laugh, I thinking of how much effort they made to imitate Windows.

[CanuckFluter]

This is really interesting but what I would love to see someone try is have some way that they could use Lutris with proton and wine to automatically install windows executables because I found that doing so you can get a lot more programs to work on Linux like Fusion 360 that way it would be a lot more easier to try and convince people to switch to Linux or just have them use it rather then actual windows

Real Hard work put in this Linux Distro.Excellent Job.

[partycatplays]

Reminds me of "Lindows" from back-in-the-day lol

[rjjeffreys]

I am now dealing (battling) with my latest Windows upDOWNgrade, so I'm really looking forward to this video, Chris.

There are so many things that I love about Linux and this copy of a "Windows-like software" is very tempting to try.

[xrrbpnm]

I quite like those total conversion themes, another good example of that is Chicago95 (a GTK theme which resembles Windows 95 amazingly accurately), or many Mac-esque themes which are also very similar to real MacOS. It's like high-quality forged paintings or forged money - not quite the same as a real thing but pretty impressive in their own right :)

Thanks for your review of this distro.
