There has to be a windows-looking flavor of Linux, right?

I know ElementaryOS looks like Mac.

[-] alleycat@lemmy.world 30 points 9 months ago

Linux Mint is what you're looking for.

Or you are free to install the Cinnamon desktop on any other distro.

Just throw this in an Electron app or something https://github.com/pi0/clippyjs

try linux mint!

I prefer mine to not look like Windows.

I’ve never understood why you’d want it to. Windows has like six design languages mashed together.

Zorin OS is going for the Windows look

[-] HubertManne@moist.catsweat.com 5 points 9 months ago

zorin emulates the look and feel of windows and is an out of the box that comes with a lot of preinstalled software including play on linux that allows for easier running of windows software.

Do you just want open-source Windows? There’s always ReactOS.

Zorin. But, tbh, imitators won't offer the most streamlined, seamless experience out there nowadays. If you like the most authentic Linux experience while staying on the user friendly side I'd say go with Gnome. There's KDE too, for an experience like older windows (eg. Win 7) and that's pretty authentic as well, just not my cup of tea. Try them out and decide for yourself!
