Instead, let's see them both retire and mark a fresh start for Windows 12, with the return of MSN Messenger to do the job these two apps have limped on with. If you need to take part in a job interview that's on Teams, for example, chances are you'll quickly need to install the app and make sure it works. While there have been some new features brought to both Teams and Skype, there's still an air of confusion as to which one you should use. In a time when people needed to communicate remotely more, it was Zoom that took the lead and Skype was bafflingly left by the wayside. Check out our pick of the best Linux distros for beginners for better choices for replacing Windows 10 with Linux.It's no secret that Microsoft's efforts on video calling and collaboration through messaging apps have been less than stellar in recent years. There are many lightweight distros out there that run much faster than Windows 10 – especially on older hardware, and because not as many people use Linux versus Windows, there are fewer viruses and malware threats as well.Īnd, as Windows 12 Lite shows, you can configure Linux to look and behave very similar to Windows. While Windows 12 Lite is clearly not going to replace Windows 10, it does raise some interesting points about how Linux could be a good alternative for people who are getting sick of Microsoft’s mishandling of Windows 10. As well as the badly-printed out manual, there is also a rather ropey-looking website (opens in new tab), which at least is honest about it being Linux Lite 4.8 LTS made to look like Windows 10.Īpparently, the seller was offering DVDs of Windows 12 Lite for £15 (around $20, AU$30) at the computer sale – and while that’s certainly cheaper than a Windows 10 licence you should never buy random software like that – and you should never pay to use free Linux distros like Linux Lite.
