Wubuntu is ready to help you transition if you’re debating whether to try Linux but are afraid it’s too different to Windows.
One of the many wonderful things about Linux is that you can make it look how you want. If you want to go crazy and create a desktop that looks and feels unlike any other, you can. But there are also distributions for people who’d rather have a user-friendly and instantly familiar desktop environment.
Wubuntu is one such distribution, and I’m sure you can figure out what operating system it mimics. Yes, the correct response is Windows 11.
I’ve tested plenty of Linux distributions that attempt to copy the look and feel of Microsoft’s OS, and none of them get nearly as close as Wubuntu. Upon installing Wubuntu, I was surprised at how much it resembled Windows 11 — down to the inclusion of Microsoft’s AI, Copilot, and Microsoft Edge.
The only thing Wubuntu is missing is those pesky ads in the menu.
As you probably expect, Wubuntu is based on Ubuntu and uses the KDE Plasma desktop to achieve a strong appropriation of Windows 11. On the panel, you’ll find a weather app, a sidebar, a desktop menu, a run command launcher, favorites, a system tray, and Copilot. Upon first login, you’ll be greeted with the Settings window, where you can select your theme and adjust a few other aesthetics.
As usual, KDE Plasma is a highly configurable desktop environment.
