Also, this chameleon distro is Made In Spain, and uses Ubuntu as a base. Therefore, it has a solid foundation, robustness, security, and stability. As well as the vast number of packages available for this Canonical distro and good driver support so hardware compatibility is not an issue.
I know there is already other projects that simulate the look of macOS, such as elementary OS, or other projects such as Zorin OS to imitate Windows, also the controversial Linspire, and even projects for the Raspberry Pi SBC such as iRaspbian and Raspbian you can use to "tune" your desktop and make it look like what you want...
You can think that Fenix OS does not bring anything new, but you are wrong. The idea of this distro is to be able to adapt to acquire the look you want as if it were a chameleon. You can put the look of macOS (X and classic), or of different versions of the Microsoft platform, from Windows 95, to Windows 10, through the famous XP, 7, etc.

Very good article, but beyond the appearance I would have made more emphasis on the fact that it has a port of ubuntu mate with gnome for the pi 4, because at the moment there is no ubuntu mate for such nor is there anything with gnome for raspberry. Or in the fact that the raspberry is able to move those window effects that wobble ... without flinching, or that KDE consumes 500mb of ram and goes smoothly when I have gentoo kde pulling virtual memory and overclocked because otherwise it is infumable.
Very cool, I had never seen any distro or any theme with that aspect so successful, I have even made a mistake and believed that I was using my pc and I was already crying because I thought my files had been deleted. I've been testing it for 2 days and it runs very smoothly on my 4gb Raspberry 1. Before I had to warm my head to install things, now I have everything I need and if something is missing I can easily install it, I think I will no longer need my Windows pc, Linux is great.
