The launch of the new version of Ubuntu OEM Pack 20.04 and in which the integration of two new desktop environments are presented to the already great repertoire that this distribution has, in addition to including the integration of Wine and Playonlinux and some other things.
For those who are unfamiliar with Ubuntu OEM Pack, I must tell you that this is a ukrainian distribution developed by UALinux an official partner of Canonical, formerly known as Ubuntu DesktopPack.
And although at first glance it seems like one more distribution that takes Ubuntu, I must mention that one of the most impressive features of this distribution, is that it works with various desktop interfaces, since you only have to choose which desktop environment of the distribution you want to work with and you only have to download and install or test that system image on your computer.
In addition to it also the distribution presents great simplicity, design, stability and above all its affordability in terms of desktop interfaces.
On the other hand, and as it is in all distributions, this one is not saved from having a negative point and that is that the distribution is only in Russian, Ukrainian and English, so the translation into Spanish is not completely complete.
