Pinguy OS was a Linux distribution for x86-based personal computers. Pinguy OS is based on Ubuntu,[2][3] a GNOME-based desktop environment, which was discontinued in 2019 due to it no longer being financially viable.[4] Despite no longer receiving any major version updates, a few of the previous LTS releases are still maintained.

General info

[edit]

Pinguy OS focused on enhancing Ubuntu's user-friendliness and was tailored towards users unfamiliar with UNIX operating systems. The OS was available in both 32-bit and 64-bit versions. For users that had less available hardware, there was another version made specifically for these older machines to work with less resources.

While it uses a GNOME desktop environment, users had the option of also using a navigation bar on the bottom of the screen, similar to Elementary OS and macOS.
