AnduinOS is a custom Ubuntu-based Linux distribution with a GNOME desktop designed to feel familiar to users switching from Windows. It ships as a bootable ISO built via a debootstrap/chroot pipeline, with Flatpak for graphical apps and a privacy-focused, no-telemetry design.

Use cases

  • switch from Windows to a familiar Linux desktop
  • install a ready-to-use Ubuntu-based OS with no extra configuration
  • build a custom Ubuntu-based ISO image
  • run a privacy-respecting Linux distribution that collects no data
  • host self-hosted services on a desktop Linux system
  • try a Linux distro in a virtual machine from an ISO

When to choose

  • you want an Ubuntu-compatible distro with apt packages and a polished GNOME experience
  • you are a Windows user migrating to Linux and want minimal learning cost
  • you need a small, ready-to-use ISO with Flatpak app isolation
  • you want to fork or customize a distro build pipeline

When to avoid

  • you need ARM or other non-x86 support
  • you require enterprise-grade commercial support or long-established distro maturity
  • you prefer minimal window-manager-only setups or non-GNOME desktops
  • you need a distro with a large independent package repository beyond Ubuntu's
