From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Bit confused about the question, but assuming you mean Windows.. it looks nothing like it.

It just looks like GNOME2, lol.

If I hide the black strip of panels and put default wallpaper of win 11 Will it look atleast like window

The file browser looks like windows. But the top bar is very Mac like, maybe if you put a start menu it would help. But to get a windows feel, you'll need the start menu, application window bars, and the status info all at the bottom (default windows).

Cinnamon is a much more Windows look and feel DE.
