PERFECT Linux for Windows Users, Anduin OS v1.4 Linux (Q4 2025)

Welcome back to the rialbbe tv OS Operating System series! 💻

In today’s episode, we’re looking at the Anduin OS Q4 2025 Edition (v1.4.1). This distribution has been making waves because it’s a custom project from a Microsoft engineer designed to make the jump from Windows to Linux feel like "coming home."

What makes the Q4 2025 "Standard" release special?

🚀 Under the Hood: Built on the brand-new Ubuntu 25.10 (Questing Quokka) base with Linux Kernel 6.17, giving you the latest hardware support and speed.

🎨 The UI: It uses a stunningly customized GNOME 49 desktop that mirrors the Windows 11 layout—complete with a centered taskbar, rounded corners, and a familiar workflow.

🛡️ Privacy First: Unlike Windows, Anduin OS collects zero data. No tracking, no ads, and no AI "features" forced upon you.

📦 Snap-Free Experience: The developers have removed Snap support in favor of Flatpak, making app management faster and more isolated from the core system.

⚡ Performance: With a lightweight 2.0 GB ISO, it’s snappier than Windows 11 even on older hardware like my 2020 Lenovo!

We’ll walk through the installation, check out the new GNOME 49 refinements, and see if this really is the ultimate "comfort blanket" for ex-Windows users.
