1. Yes it's basically Ubuntu 14.04 minus the gui 2. How can you say you can't use Windows if you haven't used one since xp??

  Since it is basically Ubuntu 14.04, if you install an Windows X Server, you can have a GUI also.

    Though this is not supported (nor intended for the future), hacked into the system, very slow and full of bugs.

      What are you talking about? Exactly what is the "hack" here?

        You're running Windows running an X server running your Linux WM to run your linux apps. It's not a hack per se, but there's definitely more to the equation, and thus a lot more room for error.

          Can you be more specific on what errors? I'm sure there are several good X servers that available for Windows. The arrangement of running X clients that talk to a remote X server is pretty standard.

          I use VcXsrv and it works fine. I edited my bashrc file so now when I open bash I can run any Linux GUI app I want. Piece of cake, runs great and stable, no issues.

          app -> x server -> display -> your eyes How is this different from native Linux?
