Q4OS with Win10 Desktop

Q4OS is a fast and friendly, desktop oriented operating system based on Debian Linux. Providing a set of dedicated utilities and specific optimizations, combined with a focus on getting a productive system easily. This makes it ideal for people who want to get a working environment tailored to individual needs and preferences. From this perspective, Q4OS is suitable for both newcomers as well as experienced computer users.

Rock stable -stability, consistence, lightness are our top priorities. This is exactly what Debian upstream guarantees and which is why we honor the Debian development model. Q4OS is designed to be stable, immutable and fail-safe in the long-term .

Visual themes, Lookswitcher- would you like to change the default desktop look and feel ? Install Lookswitcher from the software center to get a few original desktop themes and a one-click tool to easily switch between them. Select a theme you like and enjoy the new desktop appearance.

It is based on the KDE desktop, and comes with Chromium browser, Dolphin file manager, Kate notepad, screen shot tool, and a system monitor. There are several custom themed versions: one for XP, one for Win10, and others. It makes the transition to Linux all the more friendly and familiar.  It does not come with an office suite but those are available in the Software Library. Below are my screen shots and a link where to download this version.
