- jcmfernandes 2y agoI thought the same while reading it and... I felt old.
- Jolter 2y agoA vendor that has to write a news item on their front page that their product is not dead? Maybe not the most attractive look.
- petepete 2y agoLindows made a splash in 2001-2002 and its purpose was to bridge the gap and offer proper support for Windows applications on Linux via a 'click and run' service. After Microsoft sued them and they changed their name, the bubble was burst and when Ubuntu appeared its niche as a beginner distro ebbed away. I was surprised to hear it was still alive via a Michael MJD video a month or two ago.
- bambax 2y agoYes, I remember this! At some point they even claimed the term "Windows" was too generic to be protected, and they wanted to use it for the project...
- GoblinSlayer 2y agoHuh? Linux Mint looks more like Lindows than Linspire.
- n3storm 2y agoI guess you haven't used windows 11 yet, luckily.
