Download LindowsOS 4.5 for free (AGAIN)


Recommended Posts

It's funny... some people in the other posts have been dashing to get it. Just because something is free doesn't mean it is worth getting. Also, they distribute it for FREE (legimately) on P2P programs as LindowsLive - they do this because they don't have to pay the hosting fees for the file.

Well, I'm downloading it, but I don't have a partition I can install it to. Eventually I'm getting an additional HD, so maybe I'll try it when I get that. This is a cool way to actually OWN the OS for free, and have all of the support, etc. Maybe when my brother gets his own computer I will install it on my Laptop. I've never used Linux before.

Don't get to excited. Its not really linux, just based off it. Mac is more UNIX than this thing :laugh:

No support is included with the free version (I think).

Yeah, that could be... but I didn't get the free version. The POINT of this thread is that these guys have a coupon you use to get the non-free version for free. :whistle:

I did the free download about a month ago.

Lindows is Linux. Someone said it was a dumbed-down Windows, and not Linux. Well, it is Linux, but very simplified. to the point where you don't have to think or learn anything to run it, really...

Not what I would recommend to most Neowinners looking to see what Linux is like. More like something for my mother-in-law....

If you want to see what Lindows is like, go ahead. It really isn't a bad distro for the target market (Windows newbies) that they are after. However, if you want to get your feet wet and learn Linux, I would recommend a distro such as SuSE, Mandy, Fedora or something like that...

[Edit: I have been running Linux (100% single-boot) on my home computer for a bit over a year now. I installed it, found it to be polished, simplified, and not to my personal taste as an experienced computer guy.]

That has got to be the most ignorant statement about Linux and Lindows in this entire thread.

Lindows IS a distro of Linux. Technically, it is a modified version of Debian. How can you say that it isn't Linux?

    • Too soon, I'm still not over this death!
    • Normally, I admit when a title is clickbait (unfortunately, it's become somewhat necessary in AI-dominated news sections today), but in this case, all supported versions is implied and doesn't need to be spelled out in the title. Of course, I'm covering a Patch Tuesday update but that is only available to supported Windows SKUs. All our coverage relates to supported Windows software and SKUs only unless we expressly state that it's "unsupported", "unofficial", or "third-party". I'm sorry, but supported/official SKUs don't need to be spelled out as such in every Neowin headline.
    • ALL versions or ALL SUPPORTED versions? Neowin does it again.
    • But the reality is it will work for people's needs, and they don't care about the technology that makes it. Clearly not everyone's needs, but that low end space where personal laptops were only used to type emails, watch content and browse websites, but they didn't want to do that on a small screen device. Heck, writing that out I can now see the connection and reason it'll do so well. Apple is about experience. If the experience is bad, they don't release it. Low end Windows laptop manufacturers up until this point have not taken that into consideration ever before, so slow laggy usage with brittle slimey plastic shells were common. I hope that the low end space at least creates better physical products that last a bit longer, and if Microsoft get their act together, they could also have a solid OS on such low end hardware that would actually make the experience work for what the hardware was intended for. The fact that the CPU is a "cellphone", sorry mobile phone processor is irrelevant. It's about the experience, and so far, that sounds quite solid.
