Some great Software comes pre installed to give the user a complete out of the box experience, We have tried not to Bloat the OS, but to make sure that the everyday software that majority of users will make use of is already pre installed and pre configured. Wine is already preinstalled and configured, users can now simply run Windows software by simply opening the executable file as they would on a windows platform.

I am constantly starting new projects and also reviving old projects, I have a few that I keep on the back-burner. They get put there for any number of reasons, Design problems, Stability issues, 3rd party developers, abandoned code Issues etc etc One such project we actually previously released is MakuluLinux Shift. Shift was an Idea to combine all our Existing distro's into one Transformable OS to replace the existing distro's, This was the goal of Shift, to "shift from one Distro to the next" with a click of a button, hence the name "Shift".

Final Words : As I am sure you guys are aware, I am based in Vietnam which has been BADLY affected by the Corona-Virus by shutdowns, Internet problems, Shortages and as we speak, Vietnam is experiencing a 4th wave that has put us back into Lock-Down, for how long I have no idea, I have not had a salary for 4 months, and had to dip deep into my savings just to get through, it has not been an easy year at all, and I know the same applies to millions around the world. I have tried to stay positive and used this time to focus all my efforts into MakuluLinux and as such I hope this release reflects my dedication to this project. We also pray for everyone infected, that they make a full recovery and that they find a treatment for this Virus soon, It is terrible what the world is currently going through, but at the same time its also so great to see so many people unite in such difficult times, families coming together and people and countries going out of their way to help others, it really shows the best sides of Humanity in such dark times. However, this does not change the fact that Finances have not been great for the project this year, and Donations are virtually non existent. We ask that if you can donate, please do so, we would really appreciate it. You have no idea how badly it is needed and every cent helps, a few $$ can go a long way
