Wubuntu (operating system)

2024: OS Release

At the end of February 2024, the Wubuntu software platform debuted - an operating system with a Linux kernel, the interface of which completely copies Windows 11. This ensures compatibility with many Windows applications, including Copilot, Edge, OneDrive, Teams and PowerShell.

The new OS is based on the Ubuntu distribution. It was modified to mimic the Windows 11 environment as accurately as possible: the Microsoft platform borrowed a color palette, wallpaper, all kinds of interface elements and even hotkeys. At the same time, Wubuntu is undemanding to the hardware resources of the computer, thanks to which it can function on relatively old desktops and laptops. The minimum requirements for running the OS are a processor with two processing cores and 2 GB of RAM. The platform can be installed on a traditional hard drive, but the developer recommends using a solid state drive to improve performance. The available space should be approximately 25 GB.
