Ufficio Zero Linux OS: Interesting Distribution similar to Windows
Although it is true that those of us who usually use Free and open operating systems based on GNU/Linux Distributions, we do it precisely to get away from everything that bothers us about Windows or that tends to look like and work like this proprietary and commercial operating system. However, as with everything, there are usually exceptions such as users who temporarily or permanently disguise (customize) their GNU/Linux Distros as Windows, manually or through software packages (Twister UI or Kali Linux Undercover Mode), for fun or precaution/safety (to go unnoticed in certain environments with certain people).
But, also and in that same direction, there are a small handful (set) of GNU/Linux Distros that have opted to offer a visual appearance or graphical interface similar or as similar as possible to the different versions of Microsoft Windows. In order to attract more Windows users to GNU/Linux and facilitate migration and implementation tasks (use). Being, good exponents at this point, GNU/Linux Distros such as Zorin, Q4OS, Freespire and Linspire with similar interfaces, and Wubuntu, WindowsFX, Kumander, and the extinct ChaletOS with really very identical interfaces. And a last one that goes in this same direction and we will announce today, is “Ufficio Zero Linux OS”.
