I dual-booted Linux for a year, then deleted Windows and never thought about it again
It was a turbulent year, though.
A writer for XDA Developers had been using a PC with Windows 10, but it wasn't compatible with Windows 11. Rather than wait for Windows to become obsolete, they decided to make the transition to another operating system. They chose to dual-boot Linux for a year before deleting Windows.
The writer's experience is not directly related to a new Linux distribution called Kumander Linux, which is based on Debian 13.6 with Xfce 4.20. According to The Register, Kumander Linux has a unique feature set that makes it look and feel like Windows 7, using a mixture of free and open-source software components.
Kumander Linux comes with several familiar tools, including LibreOffice, GIMP, Google Chrome, PuTTY, Audacity, and VLC. The Register Science also reported that it has a Microsoft-like ribbon UI in its office suite and replaces some of Xfce's stock tools, such as the Task Manager, with a new tool called System Manager.
