MakuluLinux LinDoz is built on our new hybrid 2023 Base and Designed on a modified Cinnamon Framework. Designed to make the user transition from Windows to Linux Easier and more comfortable while still retaining its Linux roots has been quite a challenge, and one we focused heavily on 2 Fronts ( Keep a familiar “Windows like” look, but push the Linux experience ). With all New Gui’s and Features to make the User experience easier, using the new LinDoz is a breeze and feels very comfortable.
LinDoz over the years started to shift and move away from simply being a Windows Clone, We wanted to give it an identity of its own while still retaining that ”almost windows like” look. Its been a challenge to achieve this, however I Think we are on the right path to reach that goal. The new LinDoz now sports beautiful similar to windows like themes, These can easily be switched on the fly Thanx to our Desktop Manager we designed. It can not only change the GTK Theme, but also transforms the whole desktop with cursors, window borders and such to fit the selected Theme.
We have spent much time tweaking the OS to be speedy, feel zippy and not be so resource intensive. Using the backend of Cinnamon Framework also brings out of the box features like file share, access to online accounts like Facebook, Google and Microsoft directly. Of Course with Building LinDoz onto the new Cinnamon Hybrid base also means it has full applet, desktlet, extension support, We have included a variety of applets / extensions that are preinstalled to help with day to day tasks.
Stand out features of the new LinDoz 2023:
- Introduction video that guides the user around the desktop to give an easy and comfortable user experience.
- More streamlined Theming, Lindoz now Offers 12 Theme variants : The themes have been designed with great fineness to give a much more beautifully designed look, while making the Desktop Environment feel comfortable for Both ex Windows users and Linux users.
- An all new Desktop Clock with some nice features that is easily controlled by a custom GUI we designed to make for a pleasant experience.
- Wine pre-installed and configured, simply double click a windows executable file and run it out of the box, or use playonlinux to install and run in its own bottle.
- Makulu Portal quickly and easily guides users to seek assistance or connect to staff or other end users without much effort.
- Subtle changes around the OS designed to make the user experience more pleasant and comfortable.
- Built on the Gnome framework, Lindoz also comes with all the nice features that the Gnome framework offers.
- Warpinator for computer sharing is supported out of the box, its never been easier to connect to another computer.
