One of the fears when using a Linux distro is finding that it is difficult to use. Many years ago it is true that Linux systems were difficult to use, which generated a fear that, to this day, continues to be present among less expert users. However, today most Linux distros come prepared to be used without any kind of difficulty. There are even some that, aesthetically, are very similar to Windows, as with Linuxfx.
That a Linux distro wants to look a bit like Windows to attract its users is not new at all. There are many examples, some as mild in the style of those that use desktops like Cinnamon or Mate, and others more intense as what Zorin OS was trying to do.
None had gotten as far as the called WindowsFX name that they probably can’t even use anymore. You see, this distro is basically the same as LinuxFX, another name by which it is known, but its latest versions have cloned from the wallpaper to the latest Windows 10 icon and recently began calling it windows.
LinuxFX features
Linuxfx has been designed thinking about imitating the appearance and general operation of Windows 10. Therefore, the first thing that we will find when using this distro is that it uses a desktop that is practically the same as the Microsoft operating system. This desktop is based on Cinnamon and has been modified with the WXD graphics libraries to give it a similar appearance to the Windows desktop.
The desktop isn’t the only thing that looks like Windows. Themes have also been included so that applications, such as LibreOffice, aesthetically resemble Microsoft Office, so we will not miss Microsoft’s office suite.
In terms of operation, its developers have also worked hard to make it as Windows-like as possible. Windowsfx comes with everything you need to be able to run EXE programs and MSI installers with a double click, just as if we were using the Microsoft operating system. Linuxfx is prepared for all types of activity, whether it is to work and surf the Internet as well as to play all kinds of multimedia content and even play.
