Hello all. I’m a Windows user, but I’d like to try out a Linux distro. I’m looking for an OS that has a similar GUI to windows and similar applications, with high compatibility with Windows programs. I was thinking of Ubuntu. Do you guys have any better suggestions? Thanks.

What is the best free Linux OS available?

By best I mean most similar to Windows, with at least some compatibility with Windows programs.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!

I’m using Ubuntu Linux and I wanted to know if there was an application that allows you to use windows programs.

can i compile a windows application under linux?

i want to use linux, but my internship requires me to develop windows programs. is it possible to develop / compile windows programs under linux? distro does not matter.
