Windows 12 Lite is a bootleg Linux distribution created by Webhouses in 2020, based on Linux Lite 3.8. The operating system tries to mimic Windows 10 rather poorly.

Description

Despite its name, this is not a Windows bootleg, but rather a Linux bootleg with Windows branding, making it somewhat similar to the infamous Lindows (later renamed Linspire) distribution. The OS was, interestingly, sold physically on a DVD by its creator, making it one of the few modern Linux distributions to be commercially sold. It is no longer for sale on the Webhouses website.

The OS itself is almost a completely stock version of Linux Lite 3.8, except that it has a poorly resized Windows 10 wallpaper with the text "WINDOWS 12 LITE" branded on it.

Changes from Linux Lite

The wallpaper has been replaced with a stock Windows 10 wallpaper with the text "WINDOWS 12 LITE" on the bottom. This wallpaper is also present on the lock screen.
