LinuxFX 10.6
Cold-hearted Jonni Bidwell shows a rare hint of sympathy for users who want their Linux to look like Windows.

Nothing makes us feel less at home than a Windows-style logo on our desktop and a Word icon in our taskbar.
IN BRIEF
An uncannily Windows-looking distro aimed at users shifting to Linux. It’s based on long time LXF fave Linux Mint and includes a considerable number of popular applications (and Microsoft Teams). See also: Mint, Ubuntu, Zorin, ReactOS.
We’re always a tad sceptical of distros that seek to imitate Windows. If you want a distro to be like Windows, why not just use Windows? But there are (presumably) some things that Windows does right and perhaps it would be nice if a distro did just a couple of such things. In fact, the ReactOS team have for the last ten years dedicated themselves to recreating the Win32 API in Linux, so if you need low-level compatibility you should check that out.
