  • Easy to install via USB using Rufus. Looks and feels like Windows. Very stable. If you want the look of Windows with the security of Linux, this is a great choice. It also has Wine installed, so you can use Windows .exe-type programs.
  • To burn WinUX to DVD, one must use a DUAL-LAYER DVD blank which has 8Gb capacity, and the DVD writer must have dual-layer write capability. These dual-layer disks are sometimes (and becoming) hard to find, as flash drives of 32Gb and above capacity are about the same price as a few of these disks. Looking to download and test drive WinUX myself....
  • De/ Das Winux-Projekt ist für Windows-geplagte User eine mögliche Alternative, um von W10/11 auf Linux umzusteigen und nicht auf das W-Layout verzichten zu wollen oder zu können. @sourceforge.net die Download-Latenz ist unterirdisch langsam mit ca. 1,5 - 2 MiB/s. Von einem Host eures Levels sollte mehr zu erwarten sein!☝ En/ The Winux project is a possible alternative for Windows-plagued users who want to switch from W10/11 to Linux but don't want to or can't do without the W layout. @sourceforge.net The download latency is extremely slow at approx. 1.5 - 2 MiB/s. You should expect more from a host of your level!☝
  • dalincerguy & the Winux Team. It would help to let people know that the ISO can be prepared using a flash-drive. You have only given advice on burning to a DVD - which doesn't work because the ISO is too big to fit. Please provide instructions for people to use Flash drive installers like Rufus (Windows only ) or BalenaEtcher - (Mac - Linux - Windows)
  • Will not fit on DVD... I have attempted 2x to burn the .iso to a DVD. My DVDs are listed at 4.7GB capacity. I enabled "overburn" to hopefully squeeze out more space -- first attempts failed to burn as "too much space required" Can you figure out how to get the size down to 4.5 GB?
