I discovered Winux almost by accident and, out of curiosity, downloaded and installed version 11.25.11. I rolled on the floor laughing (of admiration).
It's really nice, the Winux Team guys did an excellent job, it's practically the same as Windows 11 with a splash of Windows 10. I haven't tested all the features (Windows and Android programs), but what I've used so far works great.
In short, it's (KDE)Ubuntu with a Windows skin. I have some experience with both Linux and Windows, and I can't say whether a complete Linux beginner can easily master the OS, but by seeking help online, I believe anyone can solve any problems and/or further customize the OS.
Pros: Winux is usable right out of the box with the proposed configuration, and other applications can be easily added using the "Discover" package manager.
Cons:
- Bluetooth doesn't work, but this happens with many distros.
- KDE Connect works great (tested on an HP Z1-G8 desktop computer).
- To install the Nvida driver, you need to find the correct section in the "System Settings."
- At each startup, you're prompted to purchase the "Power Pack." I think it would be appropriate to explain what it contains, even if it's not mandatory, and I don't think it's necessary to buy it.
Parabens Winux :)

After 5 months of running this system on an old HP Elitebook 8440p I am really satisfied both with the continuous updates and the performance of the software. It is a reliable workhorse running several apps right from the box and much more from the software centre. Installation was smooth, I could find all the features that are common in other distros, while it indeed looks like a Windows OS. One thing I realized was that using Wine ruins the whole impression, so I try to avoid installing vindoz apps. This is a good Linux OS after all which can replace vindoz but should not be used as if it was that one. Thanks for the hard work of the developers, this is far the best resemblance without the well known cons of vindoz.

I've always been a fan of "Windows-like" Linux systems, and I found LinuxFx/Wubuntu/Winux to be the ideal solution for what I've always been looking for. It's a standard Debian/Ubuntu system (with the ease of .deb packages) and has a pre-installed and configured "Windows theme." The pre-installed applications are adequate, and adding new programs is very simple. A great solution for users who want to migrate from Windows to Linux while maintaining the familiarity of the Windows user interface...
