Winux, previously known as Wubuntu and LinuxFX is a Linux distribution for personal computers based on the Kubuntu distribution and themed close to Windows 11. It bundles OnlyOffice and other software reminiscent of Windows.[1][2] The Register claimed the distribution likely infringes on trademarks by Canonical and Microsoft,[1] while ZDNet warns that it might be a scam.[2]

As of July 2025 Winux's website has become inaccessible.
