Default Linux-based Windows 12 Lite is '3x faster than Windows 10' and'immune from ransomware'

Windows 10 users have had a tough time of it lately, with
updates causing all manner of problems, as well as the search
function stopping working for many people.

If you�re thinking now might be the time to look into an
alternative operating system -- perhaps one based on Linux --
but you�re not quite ready to jump ship from Windows, then
Windows 12 Lite, discovered by a redditor at their local
computer fair, could be the OS you�re looking for.

According to the accompanying information, this operating system
promises seamless upgrades that won�t happen when you�re trying
to work, it�s immune from viruses and ransomware, and you can
run it alongside Windows 7 or 10.

It�s more than 3x faster than Windows 10, comes with a suite of
programs and you can add more than 80,000 titles via the
software manager. It�s ideal for gamers too.

There�s no license or activation key needed -- you own the
software -- and Microsoft doesn�t snoop on you either!

Sounds too good to be true? Well it might not surprise you to
hear that this isn�t an official Microsoft product, rather it�s
a version of Linux Lite 4.8 LTS with Windows 10 wallpaper and
flat icons, and all the above claims are ridiculous nonsense.

The official website looks like something out of the nineties,
which makes the line that says "You have all the tools now for
designing really good websites" even more entertaining.

Windows 12 Lite isn�t available to download from the website,
but you can buy it for �15 on DVD. You really shouldn�t though.

Nothing new to me. I'm running Linux Mint Cinnamon, and have a
customized set of icons, a desktop theme that makes the menu like
Windows, and window borders that are Windows ish. And yes, it's Linux
so I lack the ability to run real fancy windows programs since Wine is
so under developed. But most all the Windows programs I want are
runnable in Wine.
