- Release Note of LinuxFX 11.25.10 -

LinuxFX goes so far that even the latest features of Windows 11 are reproduced absolutely true to the original. For example, LinuxFX 11.25.10 also supports the new video wallpapers and the integration of Microsoft 365 into the operating system.

In addition to other pre-installed software such as AnyDesk, OnlyOffice, OBS Studio and Kodi, LinuxFX has the ability to run all Android apps with native OpenGL support. The voice assistant "Helloa" is also supposed to imitate Cortana. In addition to the Windows 11 theme, there is also a clearly independent desktop design for LinuxFX 11.25.10 to choose from.

Note: The developers of LinuxFX call their themes, which on request can replicate both the Windows 11 and Windows 10 operating systems down to the last detail, WINUX ("Windows Theme Over Linux").

However, if the Winux themes are used, the user interface, including the desktop, menus and settings, is modeled on the appearance of the operating system from Redmond down to the smallest detail.

For gamers, Steam, the Heroic Launcher for Epic Games GOG and Amazon Games, MangoHud and the Feral Game Mode are already preinstalled.
