One of the good features of Linux systems is that they can be customized to your liking. And if you want to play with them or if you still get confused about how they are stacked, you can very easily make them look like Windows.
Make Ubuntu or even Linux Mint operating systems look like Windows 8 simply and easily with the help of PPA from noobslab.com.
All you need to do is open a terminal window and give the following commands (make sure you have root rights):
sudo add-apt-repository ppa: noobslab / themes sudo add-apt-repository ppa: noobslab / icons sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install win-themes sudo apt-get install win-icons
To enable the above topic and icons, you also need to install an application like GNOME Tweak (you can find it in the repositories under the name gnome-tweak-tool).
That's it! Work with Ubuntu that now resembles Windows 8.
