Lumora™

What is Lumora™?

The word lumora means a "gentle glow/radiance". Lumora™ is a stable, easy to use operating system with a configurable desktop. It is made for people who struggle with switching to Linux, and provides a familiar layout with a top bar, and a dock. It runs well on modern workstations, and *some* older hardware.

Features

Familiar desktop: Panels, a dock, and window buttons where you expect them.
Snappy: While working, the experience is fast, and snappy, meaning you won't expect a hiccup while you are focused. (your mileage may vary).
Stable releases: Based on a world class trusted Linux distro (Ubuntu), which will get 5 years of security updates, and software updates.
App/Game Support: Lumora™ comes with WINE, and Steam preinstalled, meaning using your Windows™ apps will be easy. If your Windows™ apps don't work, try searching for Lumora Alternatives! (Office -> LibreOffice)
Software included: Firefox, Thunderbird, LibreOffice, plus Bazaar, a software center with thousands of extra apps.
Independent and private: Built by a high school Linux enthusiast who wanted a friendlier way into Linux. No tracking, no ads, and no account needed to download.
