Robolinux -to-use Debian-based Linux distribution that uses both GNOME and Xfce desktop environments, has just been updated to version 7.9.2.
The operating system claims it can help users to “move” from Windows to Linux without having to abandon their favorite applications. A tool that is included in the operating system and is called Stealth VM Software gives users the ability to run Windows applications in a virtual environment.
Naturally it is not yet clear whether this particular project is legal. It is very strange that Microsoft has not yet taken legal action against the developers of the said distribution.
As usual, each new version of the Rоbolinux operating system brings something new, such as full disk encryption, frequent changes for Windows compatibility, or something else.
The latest version of the operating system makes the Popcorn Time service available, which gives users the ability to watch movies and TV shows online.
Developing a virtual environment with Windows is already quite controversial from a legal perspective, especially for a Linux distribution. Now that the project developers have added the Popcorn Time service by default, which is illegal in many countries, the operating system can be described as the first illegal Linux distribution to be released.
If you are interested, you can find more information about Stealth VM Software and Robolinux in the distribution's changelog.
