Pinguy OS was a Linux distribution for x86-based personal computers. Pinguy OS is based on Ubuntu,[2][3] a GNOME-based desktop environment, which was discontinued in 2019 due to it no longer being financially viable.[4] Despite no longer receiving any major version updates, a few of the previous LTS releases are still maintained.
