    I suppose I just assumed it was decent because Windows 8 on the desktop was
    so, so terrible.

    Pretty amazing stuff there. Unbelievably incredible how he got the likeness of Win 10. He really studied it hard to make it look identical. Hope MS doesn’t come after him for copyright infringement.

    I wouldn't be too surprised if Microsoft does that.
    I think that distro seems cool (particularly that it sounds like it makes it easy to install Windows programs with Wine), though I don't think a Linux distro needs to look exactly like Windows.

    It would be irony. Didn't Apple sue Microsoft for copying their look
    and feel with Windows?

    I can see the appeal of a Linux UI that looks like Windows for someone
    coming from Windows. When I run a desktop linux, I like it as minimal
    as possible - something like a Mac-like dock and OpenBox right-click
    menus.

    Looking like Windows = training wheels? What about other GUIs?

    Yeah, I heard about that. And aside from being a GUI, I don't think Windows even quite resemble Mac OS as far as the GUI element layout. I think Apple sued Windows just for making a GUI. As a result of that lawsuit, I heard that for a while, Windows couldn't have overlapping windows & a few other things related to a GUI, but overall they ruled that Microsoft was allowed to make a GUI.
