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...

I don't give a s--t about Linux or Microsoft. Were I an entrepreneur I'd give the creator of windowsfx a s--tload of money to see what he'd create. Just about everybody who comments on Windowsfx picks some silly tribal point about what it can't do or can do. Here's a thought - would you employ this programs creator, if you could? In my view I think lots of you would be interested in his ideas.

It is more Ubuntu with Cinnamon then Window 10. Even with WINE many apps won't run under Windowsfx that run under Windows 10. Most of the similarities are cosmetic like Windowsfx Updates. and some menus still come up in Portuguese, like View Update History. And other issues like activation key missing and connectivity issues.

I purchased Windowsfx/linuxfx just for the fun of it (the free version is limited). I've been using Linux for six years. I don't agree that a distro with the look-and-feel of Windows is the way to invite Windows users. Integrating WINE is all it takes. Zorin OS should be a better choice, then. I use Mint.

This is just a distro designed for transferring users who are used to the good and bad of windows, from everything you do on windows into a distro. And if you look at it like that it's a pretty decent distro for that exact purpose.

This is NOT a Windows in any way! It's Linux Mint, witha Windows look and an standard implementation of Wine. So those WIN programs that work under Wine also work here. What does not work in Wine, doesn't do any better here.

Without the windows 10 stuff on top it could be like a business version of mint 20. I think it is kinda neat in away. Running 10.7 but I had to change the desktop picture to Tux look in the window!!!

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.

Winamp works perfectly fine on Arch for me. However, you need to use version 5.666 from 2013. Unfortunately, I haven't found any replacement for it on Linux that would be the same.

If I put this on my fathers desktop and told him it was Windows he would probably use it for years and not notice until he called Microsoft for support. -
