@christopher don't!!! all it really is is KDE with a Windows 11 theme, and a ton of bloat/crapware along with some spyware from the "developer" (Mental Outlaw did a video on it: https://odysee.com/@AlphaNerd:8/wubuntu-an-illegal-windows-like-distro:b)

@75watt I haven't had much luck running things in Wine or Bottles.

And though I love Waydroid, it doesn't allow easy integration to the PC file system. For example, I have not yet found a good Linux PDF editor, but there are several Android apps that work the way I want, but I can't easily open a PDF in the Andrroid app from the Linux file system.

I'm glad I asked about it, though. And I thank you for shedding light on this.
