Linspire

Linspire (originally known as LindowsOS or simply as Lindows) is an operating system based on Ubuntu which is now owned by PC/OpenSystems LLC as of 2023. It is an attempt similar to Corel Linux to put desktop Linux in the hands of the consumer. It can have a KDE Plasma, GNOME or Xfce desktop, along with several proprietary applications installed, it was intended to be easy to use and fully functional out of the box.

Its most notable feature was "Click-N-Run" (or "CNR" starting with Linspire 4.5), an application marketplace which allowed the user to download and install applications quickly from the internet. It was discontinued after Linspire switched to Ubuntu as its base in favor of apt.

It was renamed to "Linspire" in 2004 for legal reasons. Because of this, the Lindows logo on their website was blackened out by a black bar for a short time until Lindows became renamed.

It also has a derivate named Freespire.
