-- WinToLin -- Easy tool to swtich from Windows to Linux.

I’ve been working on this idea called WinToLin, the goal is to make the switch from Windows to Linux as simple as possible.
The steps are:

  1. You go trough the steps in the tool on Windows. -You select the apps and files you care about.
  2. It creates a bootable USB.
  3. You boot from it and it automatically installs and sets up your selected Linux distro that matches your previous setup as closely as possible

Right now this is still very early and mostly an experiment.

Only basic parts exist and only Ubuntu is supported so far.

I’d really appreciate feedback on things like:
What would be the hardest part of switching for you?
What would absolutely need to work for you to even consider using something like this?

Short demo
Some parts of the video are sped up.
