Wubuntu, the Dubious Linux Windows 

Who asked?

total bullshit

I use Onyx personally

@@soundspark Cleanmymac isn't malware, it's been recommended in the app store even. most people tend to confuse it with mackeeper, which actually is malware. cleanmymac is pretty much not needed at all though. it's a bit of a bloated app

I thought Apple didn’t need CCleaner type apps.

Michael MJD did a video on this.

🤓🤓

I’ll skip this one because of that

Good thing he did neither

Glad somebody said this

what secuirty mess?

@@pazsionthe licensing info is sent in plaintext to a remote SQL server. Someone was able to get the connection string and read the entire database. When the wubuntu devs "fixed" it, they were very immature about it.

@@pazsionWubuntu had an insecure activation server that people could access if they had the knowledge, it turned out to have emails and ip addresses of people who had bought a full license of wubuntu, it was an absolute mess since thousands were affected iirc. The way the devs dealt with it was pretty hands off other then "they fixed it" and "companies have this happen all the time", which is NOT a good excuse.

Watch the Michael MJD video, you'll see! It's complicated. @@pazsion

​@@pazsionLook at the video linked in the description.

me whenever I press the goddamn windows key

What crashes? Modern Windows is clearly robust. The inner hardware and/or drivers gotten on the other hand...

@@Mario583a shut up bill

He run windows 11 on what looks like a craptop from 2003 that doesn't meet minimum system requirements.

ah it needs a bit of tweaking and the correct win config y mean hidden do the complete setup after install you usually update the dam machine cause they definitely fixed bugs from the creation of the iso modern Users want that the pc operates like a smart phone but a smart phone is a virtual machine environment where each app it more like a decker container

so wubuntu is like ubuntu with a W?🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I think "Ubundows" sounds a lot cooler.

Whine Ucks. IDK.

That sounds like wabbit from the looney toons. 😁

UwUbuntu

someone needs to make the most cringe linux system ever created@@roland985

U need to make better driver, support todays hardware ! u need skills, why cry here, modern guy ? ARM is not for you !

@@lucasrem I don't know what you're on about, but you're missing the point. If they're copying the UI to the point where it could be considered like counterfeit Windows then *charging* for it, that's a problem

@@InfernosReaper It's like an A.I. responded to you, or someone that thinks like it. It makes no sense.

@@Axatron That assessment makes sense

@@InfernosReaper and with all that it can't replace Windows exactly as I said before Now the Easter holidays are coming and you're going to see the whole movie with Jesus Christ But the one you see on the screen saying it's Jesus Christ forget the cast it's an actor who embodies this character is also This program is just the mask of Windows 11 does not mean that it is windows 11 that's why I don't think that's the problem I think the problem is to attract shopping in the idea that eggs alternative to Windows 11 but better take where Windows 11 o license And you have the right system if you still have to buy professionally not a disguise of this kind that at first glance looks like Windows 11 But when you install Windows programs you have no way because it is not designed for running exe programs tested this on all sides I also forgot in the video If I noticed well the person posting in the video also has some glitches when he tried to install two games I just wanted to install the vm tools so that it shows the correct resolution on the desktop on the display and I didn't succeed, I got errors, I can't copy even with drag in Drop, it doesn't even work to add a folder and I did that. Many times with other operating systems, it doesn't even work to add an external hdd, I get a blue screen on my car real when I connect in the virtual machine real external hdd on usb So if it is presented it gives a fix It is clear that you don't have to go with the bag A pair of pockets also arrive at the praised tree😀

I rather buy crossover, sure it's a lot more money but at least codeweavers contribute to the WINE project.

To be more accurate Wubz should offer a monthly subscription model too...

You can get a genuine windows key for $15 so why pay $35 for an imitation that doesn't work properly!

@@iamrocketray Perhaps, and there are better ways to help linux out as well.

atualy if you extract the orangebox disc and use a steam emulator you can play them from the disc alone, its just to force tou to use steam, althugh it will be some OLDER instead NEWEST version so lots the new features like achivements and some console commands will function diffrently or be missing entirly.

@@NightmareRex6 that's orange box specifically though. I had a copy of the original hl2 physical in box set and it literally didn't install all required files from disk and required the usage of steam to complete the install. As in critical files were not present in the folders they should have been in after just installing the disks.

Zorin and Mint seem to be the best two out there on the Linux side... I am going to head that direction for my computers both mac and win as the hardware sunsets and convert the office computers over to it since we can do everything in the cloud from Opera Edge and in some cases FireFox. Most of our stuff is in the cloud. I have set up our own cloud storage off site so no evil services for files. I am tired of their money grabbing BS. I am slowly but surely putting them all out on their ass. THe next one to get taken to the woodshed is GoDaddy. Another evil empire.

Zorin OS is nice, but I had issues with it and went to Xubuntu. I needed to install a few packages to get some things to work properly, and now it works fine.

Windows intel apple, this guy = MAD !!!! why you need him ??????

the middle finish sounds great to me🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Looks more like they did a great JEEOOORGHHHBBB!

Is that you Hamstray? …ramrod?

Job…job…job…job….i just can’t say a word jorb. Omg love homestar runner…too much.

they did it and got 35 dollars out of him for the pro version🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@@SaraMorgan-ym6ue: If enough people clicked on the advertisements, then that $35 will be more than covered. 😆

you need clean my macX kid🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Just like Windows 12, where it's just Linux Lite but with a failed attempt at windows branding

But it needed to include Nintendo for absolute maxed out lawsuit potential.

unfortunately bsd like is missing for a complete picture

@@musicalneptunian WinTendows

I have a late 2011 that I recently restored with most of the internals of an early 2011 spares I bought online for cheap. In hindsight I should've gone with a 2012 spares, USB 3 and a barely better CPU is always appreciated. I ended having a mix of 2012 and 2011 parts on mine, the original motherboard sorta died and I got pissed since it's no longer a numbers matching device. Agree, well made machines, well thought out design, even internally it is pretty good especially by today's standards.

@@freetobe3Agreed! I think the big thing is that you need to have the video card be able to run Metal, right? Would that include y'alls systems?

@@veccio Metal is only supported on the 2012 year model. My 2011 lacks it so it's a pain to have a stable install of a newer Mac OS. I've also noticed that Linux support for the 2012 is considerably better than the 2011 based on the newer tech standards built into the hardware even if performance is about the same.

I don't know how people can use those mirror screens with reflections everywhere.

@@ironcito1101 What people don't seem to realise is that the black level of a matt monitor is much brighter than the black level of a glossy. Just angle the screen to avoid the reflection, or move your head if it bothers you. It's only the same as looking out of a window.

And owned by nvidia

Possibly, although I think it would be a stretch. There a several products that contain FX in their naming, most notably AMD cpus.

@@kbm2055No, Look at the Logos. The orange swish on top.

@@SimonJ57Yeah I see what you mean.

X Org's logo has some similar design elements. Then again, these guys are infringing on several companies, so I wouldn't be surprised.

It gets even more cursed when the Linux system is designed to auto launch a VM with actual Windows 11 in it with complete PCI passthrough of the GPU so gaming performance is nearly native. xD

@@KentHambrock lol imagine if someone ran wsl onthat

@@Lynixity a mirror reflecting into mirrors that are themselves reflecting back into the mirrors going into different dimensions that all have mirrors inside more mirrors all reflecting themselves to each other.

​@@KentHambrock wKwKwKw

@@Lynixity i was doing it for 2 years till i built my workstation :P

"Friends don't let friends use Windows." -- Unknown

neat

And, That's why I have been using it for many years.

and will run fast to a lot, lot faster, you should try windows 3.11 even only in a emulator like dosbox, , it can got on to a fully working desktop 10 second or less on, and read run an application or game, and for more lesser mortals, micosoft office 97, still does everything the most up version function's ever get taxed to do?

WinXP is still used at businesses... Win7 is still used by gamers.

@@ynraider: That's true, except for the few businesses that haven't gotten around to upgrading from Windows 3 yet. 😆

There are two or three free programs for Windows that will give you that look: RetroBar WinAero Tweaker Open Shell Menu

They also mimicked the profit motive. 😆

windows 11 is asking a lot of questions and crashed while wubuntu just works🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Oh? Did somebody declare Shenanigans? I'll have to go get my broom...

i like linux as much as the next guy but ive definitely had at least as many weird hardware and software issues on linux as windows, so for all of windows faults idk if id say linux is functional where windows isnt

The whole "professional activation key" thing are very stupid because it's against the main goals of most Linux community Also fun fact, if you install Wine in any Linux distros, it would perform exactly the same as Windows

@@sihamhamda47 The theoretical point of this thing is bundling Wine and a Windows theme as well as some apps into one bundle that installs together to provide a seamless experience to someone who is used to Windows and has no intentions to get involved with Linux.

@@joeganbogan270 belive it or not, I used Arch Linux exclusively for 12-ish years and went back to WIN11 exclusively. I left my Arch installed on another partition, just in case. I never went back to it. Win11 just gets in the way of my productivity much less than Linux. On Linux I would be tweaking stuff all the time. Windows just sits there in the background and I don't notice it, which is the ideal for me.

...then that means WINE is getting things right.

Don't, it's extremely shady and insecure

@@jarozlawus If that one thing we know about is insecure, how much else is there that we don't know? Wubuntu doesn't post their modifications to the Linux kernel or any other included open source programs, effectively making them proprietary (and thus a violation of the GPL).

@@jarozlawus Then what reason did the publisher have to not publish the modified source code? Why was its name changed from fxlinux after it was in a somewhat unrelated controversy? Something about it stinks and it should not be trusted. Throw it in a VM if you're really that curious.

@@paxalotin We can't know if any of these have been modified because the source code hasn't been published. Plain and simple.

@@paxalotin Oh, it's already running Mint. I was just going to do this as an experiment, same as Action Retro did.

​@@paxalotinactually its more on par with windows XP (although react has the stability of 9x)

Notice were they put the across thing in the item tray it's on the right instead of the left like windows 11 has it🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I just wish that was easier to install. After the third reboot in the instructions my mind just went blank and I decided to stick with 10.15 on my 2012.

I just switched from Windows 10 to Zorin OS 17.1 yesterday and I too am watching this video from within Edge. I don't care what people say, I like Edge and I've tried them ALL.

It's hardly the most likely use case either. I'd have tried Office 365 and other current apps.

Microsoft, It's on Mac too.

Why let Windows users have all the, "fun"?

😂

A buddy of mine sat down at his friends computer, took a screenshot of the desktop, deleted all of the screen icons, removed things such as the clock, and made the screenshot into the background image.

He made a purchase using what I presume to be Paypal. No matter what payment method you use bar Monero they're going to get some information about you. That kind of software doesn't encrypt and protect your data. It just funnels your data through another server. If Virtual Private Networks actually did what they said they do, they'd be illegal globally.

Their selling point of 'Windows 11 familiarity' which evidently is MS Edge, Teams, OneDrive made me ????????. Like who thought that was the good part about Windows?????

@@tai2691997 It's the apps that Joe Average needs/has been forced to use. Edge is similar enough to IE to be perceived as "the internet". A much more interesting test than running it on fairly old hardware and installing old games would have been installing it on a new-ish system and running things like Office 365. That being said, if Wubuntu has massive security issues, you might just as well go straight for the original unless your hardware won't let you run that. I can definitely see the use case though, people who have learned some very basic computer skills by heart and blackout panic if anything looks slightly different than what they're used to. On the other hand, switching from Windows 10 to 11 would be massively difficult for them as well, so they'd probably continue using 10 for as long as they can. Or Windows 8 or 7 as long as no one stops them.

Well people like familiarity, I mean Ubuntu's main desktop is nothing like the Windows UI and can alienate potential new users. For me a distro like Linux Mint is a better choice as while yes it emulates the windows look it's still different enough to stand out.

@@themadoneplays7842 I can see that. To me, the Gnome desktop is more like a mobile phone desktop - which can be more familiar to people nowadays than the traditional desktop metaphor. In my experience, most of my friends could be satisfied with a Chromebook, which is a great combination of a browser-centric desktop metaphor. I guess my main beef with slavishly copying the Windows desktop is that the illusion falls apart once you get past opening programs. I agree that a MATE or Cinnamon desktop provides familiarity but doesn't try to delude you into thinking you're using Windows.

Why copying windows when we know windows is crap?
