Please do not advertise or Condone Wubuntu. It's a Linux distro developed by a shady developer that has a history of negligent security practices and questionable marketing. Not only that, Wubuntu is a rebrand of "LinuxFX" and "WindowsFX". Allegedly, this rebrand was meant to restore the distro's reputation and to cover up past actions. This distro is also technically proprietary and the developer of it refuses to provide any source modifications that he's done. Proprietary distros are definitely not the way to go about installing Linux as a first timer.

One of the side projects I had was skinning a ubuntu-gnome 22.04 LTS based terminal/RDP server to "look" like windows. I basically did this because windows licensing is obscene and just getting the familar icons and such in place for people to feel "comfortable" is usually the goal. Needed a basic terminal server a half-dozen people could log into and navigate well enough to use some developer tools and libreoffice. Nobody is really going to think this is "windows" but stuff is in the right place for them to be able to do work without much of a transition. Took about two hours to set up. Wubuntu looked like a huge waste of time. An excellent experience for gaming is Nobara linux. I installed it on my acer x13 and have been very happy with it. It also has the benefit of having all the drivers I need to run stuff and fairly compatible too.

I just wish that was easier to install. After the third reboot in the instructions my mind just went blank and I decided to stick with 10.15 on my 2012.

I like that not only they are selling a Pro version of this as Windows does, but as MJD said in his video, they also copied the lack of clearence about what you get buying the Pro version, just like Windows.

we're up to a good start, installing a linux distro that looks like windows on a macbook, what can go wrong? lmfao!

Hey, maybe you haven't encountered this, but some installers won't let you click "Accept" on the Terms unless you actually scroll the window down to the bottom of the text. You definitely should have tried that with the Steam installer for Half-Life.

It would be curious to revisit it in a year to see if it's gotten any more reliable. If it lasts that long.

Does this work for samsung galaxy tab s7

Is it 2nd (or even 3rd) iteration of Lindows?

wow. That was interesting. Never heard of Wubuntu.

Hey. That's the same MBP in ran for 10+ years. Sadly, the battery swelled. And then the iFixit battery swelled, too. And without a battery, MacOS throttles the CPU to 700MHz. Now I'm on a Framework.

"Mount and open the CD rom" Awww shucks that's adorable.

As a fellow Brazilian, I ain't. Sadly, lazy cash grabs are kind of a tradition around these necks of the woods.

12:45 Probably this installed was made in Finland

Today there is no clear separation between Windows and Linux, both systems have all the tools to run programs. Wine and WSL.

This is looking legit. I might have to go back to windows via Wubuntu lol

If i can move the taskbar on right of screen i definitely switch from w11 to wubuntu!
