Introduction to Lindows.net
|
The word Lindows is used in the FLOSS world to distinguish Gnu/Linux distributions that look like Windows.
The relationship between Gnu/Linux and Windows is long, first we will see a chronological listing of projects that have covered this topic and Microsoft’s participation in the world Gnu/Linux.
At the beginning the relationship was not the most cordial reaching the derogatory expressions, like Bill Gates that the users of Gnu/Linux are the communists of the 21st century or Steve Ballmer’s Gnu/Linux is a Cancer. Later a serene Satya Nadella epresaria Microsoft Love Linux.
We are going to see the projects of Gnu/Linux to be able to run programs MS Windows at the end we will see how Microsoft is combined with Canonical to be able to run programs Gnu/Linux in MS Windows.
I like to write articles in which I have many sources lease links.
As the theme of the blog is to jump between 2 worlds is so that the web swings between two languages Spanish and English, the reason my native language is Spanish, for other readers is in English.
The translation will be done by Deepl, what I highly recommend.
The articles are all rewritten from scratch or using Wikipedia as a source to avoid falling into the copyright trap.
That’s why I can give my articles a Creative Commons license.
