If you’re currently running Windows 10 but recently started thinking about a potential switch to Linux, there’s a chance that you’re still undecided on what distro to install on your device.
While Ubuntu, Linux Mint, or elementary OS work just fine, there’s one Linux distro that makes former Windows 10 users feel like home.
It’s called Linuxfx and its purpose is to make the transition from Windows to Linux as smooth as possible.
As you can see in the screenshot here and in the video embedded at the end of the article, Linuxfx looks and feels exactly like Windows 10. You also get a Start menu with a Windows Start button – this one, however, could actually be an issue, as Microsoft might not like seeing its Windows logo in another OS.
Built-in Cortana-like assistant
Needless to say, this is just a skin on top of a Linux operating system, and the Linuxfx developing team explains that they have tried to make everything feel like home, so even LibreOffice comes with a Microsoft Office theme.
In addition to a Helloa, a digital assistant that has been tweaked to look like Cortana, this Linux OS also ships with a pack of apps that Windows users will find very useful, including Skype, TeamViewer, and Microsoft Teams. The icon of the mail app, which is actually Evolution, is borrowed from Outlook for an even more familiar experience.
Linuxfx can run executable files, and it’s based on Ubuntu 20.04 with the Cinnamon desktop, and overall, it’s pretty clear that the goal of building a familiar home for Windows 10 users in the Linux world has pretty much succeeded.
How many Windows 10 users would migrate to Linux thanks to this distro is something that remains to be seen, but right now, there’s no doubt that Linux has finally become the Windows alternative that Microsoft never wanted to see happening.

Remix OS was a computer operating system for personal computers with x86 and ARM architectures that, prior to discontinuation of development, shipped with a number of 1st- and 3rd-party devices. Remix OS allowed PC users to run Androidmobile apps on any compatible Intel-based PC.[4][5]
In January 2016 Jide announced a Beta version of their operating system called Remix OS for PC, which is based on Android-x86 — a x86-port of the Android operating system — and available for download for free[6] from their website. The beta version of Remix OS for PC brings hard drive installation, 32-bit support, UEFI support and OTA updates. Except for the free software licensed parts available on GitHub,[7] unlike Android-x86, the source code of Remix OS is not available to the public.[8][9][10]

Google Mobile Services (GMS) were removed from the Remix Mini after Remix OS Update: 3.0.207[11] which Jide claimed was to 'ensure a consistent experience across all Android devices for all.'[12] Later comments suggest that there was a compatibility issue with some apps which resulted in Google requesting that GMS not be pre-loaded.[13]
On July 17, 2017, Jide announced that development of Remix OS for PC, as well as related consumer products in development, was being discontinued, stating that the company would be 'restructuring [their] approach to Remix OS and transitioning away from the consumer space'.[14][15]
PhoenixOS[16] and PrimeOS.[17] are similar Android-x86 based operating systems developed by other companies independently.
Version history[edit]
There were three versions of Remix OS:[18] Remix OS for PC, Remix OS for Remix Ultratablet and Remix OS for Remix Mini:

A Remix OS 3.0 device, the Remix Pro 2-in-1 tablet, had been announced in 2016, however, these will no longer be made.[20]
Os 10.13 High Sierra
Legacy[edit]
Due to the popularity and affordability of the OS in Asia, similar projects have been made by various firms. Most notably PhoenixOS[16] by the Chinese-based Chaozhuo Technology,[21] and PrimeOS[17] by the Indian-based Floydwiz Technologies Private Limited.
Just like RemixOS, both are pre-dominantly closed source, with a lot of improved features intended to improve and optimise both OS's for newer applications and PC's.[22][17]
Projects like OPENTHOS[23] and BlissOS[24] intend to release the project with open source in mind, but OPENTHOS is restricted to only Chinese Markets at the moment,[citation needed] and BlissOS is based on Android-x86.[25]
