You think of Leave Windows for Linux But are it afraid of change? Why not try Anduinos distribution? Developed by a single man, namely the Chinese Anduin Xue, who is none other than a Microsoft employee, this distribution does everything to look like Windows as much as possible. Based on Ubuntu, it wants to facilitate the transition by maintaining habits and interface elements of the Microsoft OS.

Anduinos is available in several branches according to user needs, and each has just received an update to improve its operation.

Anduinos: The best Linux alternative to leave Windows

All versions first take advantage, in addition to some fixes, of the support of the Appimage format, increasingly popular in particular to improve the reliability of applications. Then, the safety of passwords has been improved, as well as the download of torrents and the X11 experience (especially in Hyper-V).

Specifically for Anduinos 1.3.2 Next, we will note the addition of the Deskmon. Service service which allows you to execute desktop files in the ~/desktop folder to more easily create shortcuts on the desktop. In the event of a new installation of this version, the support of the latest Intel audio devices is also there.

Finally, for Anduinos 1.2.5 and 1.1.5, the new features are more minor and above all aesthetic. Installers, for example, now have the same theme.

If it is possible to easily update between minor versions (1.1.0 → 1.1.5, 1.2.0 → 1.2.5 and 1.3.0 → 1.3.2) with the command “do_Andinos_upgrade”, to update a major version to another (from 1.2.0 to 1.3.1 for example) it will be necessary to carry out a new installation. An update mechanism is planned, but not for immediately.
