It is 2025, and the KDE project is still using the glory of the desktop cube to appeal to Windows users.
The desktop cube has been our single most powerful tool on the path to world domination.

I remember years ago there was a copy of Linux that you could install on a Windows drive and it'd run even though it was on the NTFS drive.
One of the big challenges for migration is presumably having to take all your data off your C drive blow it away, install Linux then put all your files back. A version that would happily reside on NTFS and just give Windows the heave-ho might be an easier option for n00bs.
It was Ubuntu. But it was clunky and in essence just a vm. It was a cool was too try it out, but it was definitely not a long term solution. Ultimately, LiveCDs worked much better at testing it out.
I see what you're saying in terms of continuation, though, but ntfs kind of sucks. If it's any consolation, most Linux distros can read ntfs just fine now.
