The folks at ThinkGos.com produced a compelling modification of Ubuntu last year and their newest version of their Ubuntu based GOS is an absolute marvel.

  • gOS is great i still prefer Ubuntu but gOS is good

  • Yes you can. You can install ms office 2007 in Ubuntu, but it will require some skill with Linux OS. You can also install plenty of Windows games in Ubuntu, but not all of them, and it also requires some degree of Linux CLI knowledge. Google out Wine, and you can find a list of games that work 100% and there are others that work partialy or buggy. All-in-all, its not point'n'click installation of MS Windows apps, but it is easy enough if you are familiar with Linux based OSes.

see all

  • I Love Ubuntu

  • I really wish people would stop mistaking this for Chrome OS...

  • gOS is nice because its fast and runs on low hardware requirements AND doesnt have all of the extras that make ubuntu run slower. I always find ubuntu to bulky and doesnt support my video card easily.. but Linux mint and gOS do....

  • @bravo3000pirate lol you learn something everyday lol

  • I tought gOS stands for GoogleOS made by google... I learned something today!

  • its really nice...but what sucks is that you cant use ubuntu repositories like in others ubuntu based OS like Linux Mint....

  • I dun know how to use it.

  • so u cant use apps like microsfot word or play games?

  • Well they have classes of Vista, like Vista for porn, Vista for game and such.. Then they have 64-bit vista and 32-bit vista, which I've heard 64-bit is a rewrite.. But one thing for sure is they are trying to close up the "open pc" architecture.. I think Microsoft thinks their ass is getting kicked too much to be comfortable so they've got to saw off PC compatibility to only Vista.. They don't know how much trouble they are borrowing.

    But there are a lot of fools supporting them too.
