Pinguy OS

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

Its focus point that made it unique compared to other Linux distributions was that it was the, "OS for people that have never used Linux before", creating an working 'out of the box' OS for users, regardless of Linux experience. This eliminated the process typically required by users following a Linux installation to enable full functionality of the computer, such as installing drivers and hardware recognition, all via terminal command windows.

General info
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.
