  2. wubiuefi

    fork of Wubi (https://launchpad.net/wubi) for UEFI support and for support of recent Ubuntu releases

    Wubi runs on Windows and installs Ubuntu into a file: https://github.com/hakuna-m/wubiuefi

    This sort of thing used to be more common. My first exposure to Linux was before CD-Rs were ubiquitous so there was no possibility of using external media if you downloaded Linux. Partitioning the drive and installing there was typical.

  3. linux-surface

    Linux Kernel for Surface Devices

    LOL, I can just imagine someone installing Ubuntu in their Surface, then seeing that several things don't work. Then they go to this repo, which is "scary" in itself for non-technical people, and then they click on the "detailed installation guide" at https://github.com/linux-surface/linux-surface/wiki/Installa...

    And that's it, they are lost and tired at that point. They will just go back to Windows.
