Just happened across this. I am going to spin it up in a vm to check it out. By description seems like a Frankenstein project stiching some windows and Ubuntu together (not unlike wsl only a little more complete). Dunno not something I'm really looking for but I am now curious
Wubuntu anyone had any experience with this?

- Start date
Skinned versions of KDE and Cinnamon to look and act as much as possible like Windows.
Just loaded it and gave it a spin. They went out of their way to make it look like windows. They added microsoft edge and copilot. Ability to connect to the windows crack pipe (aka onedrive). It does appear to be graphics on top of KDE. I use KDE desktop already mainly because I like Dolphin over Nautalis. Next long term release of Ubuntu Desktop I may go back. I have no love of windows so this one is a hard pass for me....

This was discussed a few months ago I think, Jarret B opened a topic about it. The KDE version is supposed to make like Windows11 and Cinnamon version like Windows10. (scratch head)
Yet Linux is not Windows. This line must be repeated. Could dress a wolf like grandma but eventually "The Red Girl" would be eaten if she can't tell the difference from a short distance.

i try it right now and i think its take the worst think from both windows and Ubuntu no monition to price for licence very expensive than windows also every thing they use you can use with any distribution you can install some of windows app using "wine" not all windows app you can use there ,,, etc
Wubuntu has morphed into Winux. Myself, I'm not a big fan of the "let's make Linux to look and feel like Windows" philosophy. I know the logic behind it, but all it does it confuse people. "Is it Windows, is it Linux, does it work the same way, do I need to learn new things etc." Mint is much better solution for everyone who's considering moving from Windows to Linux.
I've encountered Wubuntu. Not a fan. Though, it may be good to simplify certain things down for some people.
