Support for Windows 10 ends on October 14, 2025. Microsoft wants you to buy a new computer. But what if you could make your current one fast and secure again?

I saw a really cool project showcase yesterday: Operese. I'm not quite sure how it works, but it installs Kubuntu directly in Windows, and after a reboot, instead of starting Windows, you boot into Kubuntu with all your user files copied over from Windows.

guess it will -create a partition -deploy an kubuntu image on it -copy user files over

the hard part here is having a spare disk/spare disk space where you can deploy. and maybe getting it to boot into grub directly, because your bios will be pointing to windows
