You suggested:

There is a windows look alike distro from china. It's on distrowatch.
Might look into that.

What am I to take that as? You provided no links, but appear to
encourage the OP to search fo a "windows look alike distro from china".

Care to provide links to your 'suggestion'?

Note:
Disparage my ass.  I asked a question - care to answer it?
