WinBuntu is an Ubuntu Flavor that tries to make it easier to migrate to Ubuntu/Linux from Windows 10/7/XP.
WinBuntu will grow along with its users and contributers, as they see fit. The future of the operating system is in users' hands.
WinBuntu is currently in Alpha. To get a developer version of the operating system, please fill out the form below.
To install WinBuntu through Virtualbox, just download the iso file, make a virtual machine with at least 30GB space (20 for the OS itself, and 10 for other files). The virtual machine settings, for optimal performance, are:Next, attach the iso file to the virtual machine. Then start the VM the way you would usually, and it should start booting like any other Ubuntu Flavor.
If you wanna install through USB, you probably can't because it's too big of an operating system and there is no Windows 10 like or net installer of it yet. But, if you have a 32GB USB drive just laying around for no reason, just burn the iso file to the drive using a tool like Balena Etcher or, and be careful if you do this, Linux's built-in dd command, and boot it with Secure Boot off. Then you can either install it, or try it out. You can even try dual-booting with it, if you want.
For a Windows XP/7 Feel, use the Lubuntu Desktop Envrionment.
For a Windows 10 Feel, use the Plasma Desktop Environment.
If you think you're ready for full Ubuntu/Linux, use the Ubuntu Desktop Environment.
You can choose your preferred DE at the login screen in the dropdown section that next to the word "session."
