  13. Tom’s Hardware: I took a look at AnduinOS, a Linux distro that feels like home for Windows users. “Overall, AnduinOS is great.

    Looking at the evolution i feel that users act more and more on their dissatisfaction with #CinnamonDesktop.
    I note that:
    * the number of downloads of #MATEDesktop increased 50% in a year;
