Hello all,

I would like to transition my GF to linux.

To make the switch easy I’ll go for Ubuntu, but what would be the most windows-like desktop ?

Thank you!

Edit : thank you everyone, I’ll go with Mint instead then 👍 Thanks for the help!

    Out of the box, KDE has the most similar look and feel as Windows. That said, I do believe Linux Mint has Windows themed DEs that go one step further

      Depends on Windows version I guess.

      Win XP: XFCE

      Win 7: Cinnamon

      Win 10/11: KDE

      Though you might choose Zorin OS, Ubuntu-based and looks like Windows out of the box.

        I have an XFCE box that I dressed up as XP. Honestly, if it had the XP calculator, I would get confused sometimes.
