One of the most frequent recommendations for any user with Windows problems is to adopt some Linux variant, although the vast majority doesn't go beyond that recommendation, without exploring differences or future difficulties. However, someone out there decided to take an extra step, and began selling copies of "Windows 12", an operating system that promises coherent updates, immunity to malware, and good performance. In essence... Linux with a Windows background.
Linux users try to present the process as "something simple", but if we are honest... it is not. For many people, moving from one version of Windows to the next can be traumatic, and the idea of jumping to Linux is immediately discarded. That does not mean the Linux world has given up. On the contrary: there are projects especially focused on the transition from Windows to Linux... but every so often someone appears willing to inject a pinch of creativity and humor. That brings us to the new "Windows 12 Lite", discovered by user "hexsayeed" on Reddit.
No upgrades while you're working, no failed updates that "force you to buy more Windows 10", immunity against viruses and ransomware, works alongside Windows 10 and Windows 7, "more than three times faster than Windows 10", 80,000 available programs, ideal for gamers with Steam and "Nvidea drivers", no licenses, no activations, no telemetry. It sounds like the perfect operating system... despite the partially broken English.
The story of this Windows 12 becomes even more interesting when we visit its official page, which looks like it was pulled from an old Geocities backup on Archive.org. Even its address screams "1995" in our faces, but if we set aside its appearance, it's clear that someone made a significant effort to explain the features of this operating system.
In reality, the content of the DVD is nothing more than Linux Lite 4.8, with its central screenshot using a wallpaper taken from Windows 10. The distro follows the same path as other Debian and Ubuntu-based spin-offs, with XFCE as the main interface and Ubuntu LTS repositories to stay up to date. Its requirements are modest (a basic netbook should be able to run it), and it brings a software package that we now consider classic on Linux (Firefox-GIMP-LibreOffice-VLC).
The "Windows 12" page does not offer any ISO for download, and if you want to try Linux Lite, I recommend getting the images from its official site.
