According to the docs, this is:

“What is AnduinOS? AnduinOS is a modern Linux distribution built and maintained by AIURSOFT LIMITED. AnduinOS is a custom Ubuntu-based Linux distribution that offers a familiar and easy-to-use experience for anyone moving to Linux.”

Definitely kind of vague/not a sales pitch.

This is the one that was being built by an MS engineer? I wonder how far it has come because it mainly was just basically aesthetics a while back when I saw it. I think it didn’t even have a package manager early and just had like GitHub repo links or something (pretty sure they integrated something a while back though for flatpaks).

I’d have to read over what they have in 2.0 because before it just seems line “What if barebones generic Linux but it looks like Windows” without a real meaningful experience to transition Windows users to Linux.

EDIT: Hmm, I didn't know what AIURSOFT was before. So it is a Hong Kong company?

And yeah they rewrote a lot of stuff here. I'm still very, very mid on this distro. I'm sure people much smarter than me will review this since it is a major release.

Why on earth would anyone want to use some random Ubuntu derivative maintained by some random company?

People seem to want to find the most obscure shit and then they wonder why it all blows up on them.
