About this tag
The windows like linux tag covers Linux distributions that intentionally mimic the Windows user interface and workflow to ease the transition for Windows users. Discussions include AnduinOS, an Ubuntu-based distro that matches Windows behavior in key areas beyond just appearance, and Winux, a KDE-based build with a Windows-like desktop and bundled proprietary apps.

The tag is relevant for users seeking a familiar desktop environment while moving to open-source software.
