About

Winux is a Linux-based operating system designed to replicate the look and feel of Microsoft Windows while maintaining the flexibility and performance of a Linux distribution. Built on Ubuntu, it uses a customized desktop environment that closely mimics Windows 10 and Windows 11, including a familiar Start menu, taskbar, icons, and overall interface, making it easier for users transitioning from Windows to adapt quickly. It does not require strict hardware features such as TPM or Secure Boot, allowing it to run on older or less powerful machines while still delivering fast boot times and responsive performance. Winux includes compatibility layers like Wine, enabling users to run Windows applications such as .exe and .msi files directly within the system, alongside native Linux software and package support through Snap and Flatpak.

About

FydeOS is a lightweight operating system with a Linux kernel + browser platform + container technology driver; its use is very similar to Google Chrome OS.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • I have a Chromeboook but like most owners wanted ChromeOS on a standard laptop to truly unleash its full potential without paying through the nose. this OS is the closest complete easy solution to achieving this. I installed is on a 3rd generation intel laptop and installed the freeish version which is in fact completely free to download. You will need belena etcher to burn to usb. The install is easy and asks you to set a local account or fydeOS online account which is brilliant. I chose local like most would. Its very quick and the whole lot was complete in under 5 minutes. I installed the Intel image which was designed for my laptop but you can also get for AMD processors and vmWare ova's. The ova failed on deployment but you can extract the contents and deploy the ovf. It does not play well with vCenter 7 as the cpu spikes to over 8GHz. The desktop is the same as ChromeOS 102 as it is build from chromium os 102 in version 15.1. I did not have any issues setting up. the linux subsystem was the same to enable and developer mode is enabled with no boot delay as we see in the Chromebook if the same is enabled. The app store is not installed but if you go into the fydeOS store, the option to install gapps is there and it works perfectly fine. Even some apps that are not available on ChromeOS are there but some don't work as they crash when opening such as megasync which is expected behaviour as this happens in the real ChromeOS too when you install from apk. The added bonus here is that the right click works here as well as the two finger tap for the right click as Chromeboook owners would know. Bluetooth and sound work as expected, in fact I could not find anything that did not work from a hardware perspective and was like using a Chromebook. If you like ChromeOS, you will like this and it works just like the real ChromeOS.

Cons

  • Can only install the full version of chrome on the Linux subsystem. The OneDrive app does not work properly and hangs on reboot with annoying abort messages. There is no G drive built into the file manager which is on ChromeOS. Some app store apps available wont work but this is expected behaviour.
