How to install Ubuntu Linux theme on Windows.

If you are a Windows user and are skeptical of switching to Linux but like the overall feel and look of Linux or Ubuntu in this case, then this theme's for you developed by DeviantArt.

Linux comes in different forms known as distributions and each one feels like a different OS but Ubuntu is the most popular of the distributions available and people prefer Ubuntu over other distros because of its simplicity and easy-to-use interface.


By installing Maverick, you can experience the dark grey and orange style interface but if you are expecting the app launcher and left-aligned panel of Ubuntu and if you think that it will turn your OS into Ubuntu clone, then you are in the wrong place.

Previously, I have discussed the reasons why Linux is better than Windows and I hope that I have convinced a lot of Windows users to make the jump but if you are still having doubts about experiencing Linux first hand and want to taste what the OS feels like. Here is a step-by-step guide.
