    There has to be a windows-looking flavor of Linux, right?

    I know ElementaryOS looks like Mac.

      zorin emulates the look and feel of windows and is an out of the box that comes with a lot of preinstalled software including play on linux that allows for easier running of windows software.

      It’s Mint for real. Mature, no-nonsense, get out of your way so you can get shit done on your terms OS.

      Do you just want open-source Windows? There’s always ReactOS.

      Zorin. But, tbh, imitators won’t offer the most streamlined, seamless experience out there nowadays. If you like the most authentic Linux experience while staying on the user friendly side I’d say go with Gnome. There’s KDE too, for an experience like older windows (eg. Win 7) and that’s pretty authentic as well, just not my cup of tea. Try them out and decide for yourself!

        I’ve never understood why you’d want it to. Windows has like six design languages mashed together.
