ChaletOS, an alternative with Ubuntu for the most nostalgic of Windows

ChaletOS

Although there are many users who use Ubuntu, there are still many users who come from Windows and are missing elements of the Microsoft operating system. This is usually a problem for many, a problem that has an interesting solution with ChaletOS.

ChaletOS is a Gnu / Linux distribution that is based on Xubuntu 16.04 and that it has a great appearance that reminds us of Windows 7 or any other version of the popular private operating system. The customization in ChaletOS is high, very high but the heart of the operating system is still Ubuntu and an LTS version of Ubuntu.

ChaletOS uses Xubuntu 16.04 and its purpose is that this operating system is installed on computers with few resources, that is, for computers that have the old Windows XP and want to continue offering the same power but with the aesthetics of Windows 10 or Windows 7. In addition, the Windows 10 icons have recently been released for those who have the old version of ChaletOS and want to give the appearance of Windows 10.

ChaletOS tries to bring the latest Windows with the power of Xubuntu to older computers

Both the spaces, Folder, icon and panel names are the same as Windows But Windows programs will not work naturally, but we will be able to use the usual Gnu / Linux applications as well as Wine, which will allow us to use the Windows application that we miss. ChaletOS is a young distribution but it is based on the latest Ubuntu LTS as well as allows new Ubuntu users don't miss out on not having their old Windows.

Personally I have been using Ubuntu for years as the main operating system, so now I do not usually get lost when I use both operating systems, but I understand that the first days with Ubuntu or with any other Gnu / Linux is usually problematic for many who come from Windows, for this I have collected ChaletOS, since it is a tool that can be useful for many novice users, don't you think?

    I have never found sense in wanting to make our system like Windows…. Aren't we supposed to start from there? XD

    I hope they have improved it, I installed it 8 months ago and it does not work by installing it on your hard disk, but it works normal in live cd

    I have tried to install this distro and it always gives me an error. It looks very good when using it from the USB. Hopefully they can fix it.

    It sends an error at the end of the installation but if the usb is removed and it restarts, that's it, ChaletOS is already installed on your DD, then just do the apt update and apt upgrade to validate that everything works well and that's it, I've been testing this distro and the truth is that I was surprised that playonlinux works just as well (or even better) than the vaunted sparkyLinux
