Quelitu is a multilingual operating system based on Lubuntu Linux.
Quelitu, a Linux distribution based on Lubuntu, is very stable and about twice as fast as Windows XP or Vista on the same computer. It is simpler, better made, and easier to use than Windows 7. It is also more secure and gives users access to hundreds of free and virus-free software. Linux's multimedia components are generally better than those of Windows.
Commercial game developers do not generally provide support for Linux. However, there are a lot of games in the Ubuntu repositories, including several that are educational and many for children.
Expect some difficulties during the first two or three weeks of use as certain things are different from Windows. We strongly recommend that you read the quick guide provided on this site as it will eliminate a lot of frustrations from the start and make your transition much easier. You will quickly realize that Quelitu is easier than Windows and... you might never want to go back to the latter again.
The Quelitu name (Que-li-tu) was formed from the following words: Quebec, Linux/Light, and Ubuntu/Lubuntu.
