While it might seem interesting for your usecase, please be careful which specific distro you use, especially when it comes to "windows-like" distros. Wubuntu (previously LinuxFX) has terrible security for your payment info, and the developers have made a ton of questionable decisions.

Yeah, mimicking Windows being the first. The second is "pay $35 to 'unlock the benefits'" is skeezy as hail.
