Linux distro inspired by Windows 11 is in preview

A Linux distribution that attempts to mimic Windows 11 will be released soon. The operating system, called Windowsfx 11, is intended to make Windows users feel right at home on a Linux system, according to the makers.

The operating system, which is currently in preview, includes a modified version of the KDE Plasma UI to closely resemble the Windows 11 user interface. Windowsfx 11 also includes some preinstalled programs, such as Microsoft Teams and PowerShell, which are usually are associated with Windows. The online version of Microsoft Office is also on the Linux distro.

According to TechRepublic, which has tested the preview version, installing all the necessary Windows compatibility components helps ensure that the installation can take from 30 minutes to an hour. The Windowsfx operating system is based on Ubuntu.

In addition to the free version, there is also a ‘professional edition’ of Windowsfx 11 that should cost $ 20. In addition to the functions of the operating system, this includes voice commands, the Microsoft Active Directory and access to the OneDrive in the file manager. This version also finances the project.

When Windowsfx 11 will come out of the preview phase is not yet known. The real Windows 11 will be released in phases from October 5.
