Dubbed LinDoz, the MakuluLinux 2020 series is based on the latest Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS (Bionic Beaver) release and users Linux Mint’s beautiful and modern Cinnamon desktop environment by default to provide ex-Windows 7 users with a comfortable place if they decide to migrate from Windows to a Linux-based OS. The developers note the fact that LinDoz is not designed to be a Windows clone, but a familiar place for Windows and Linux users alike.
