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.
