A Windows-to-Linux “translation” tool for the 200M+ Windows 10 computers not eligible to upgrade to Windows 11, Operese transfers files, settings, and programs from Windows to a brand-new Kubuntu installation. It's still very much a work in progress, but in my biased opinion, it already doesn't look too shabby!

Ubunti used to have a a tool that did something similar, but that tool is dead now.

I'm very happy to see a successor.

    I should like any effort towards linux but telling all of the migrants that they made a bad choice because of snaps stops me from liking it

    Very nice! I'd been thinking there should be a standardized guide for switching, but this is so much better!

    I can't watch the video, is there a link to a git somewhere?

    Nevermind, I was able to read the comments and the poster said "I WILL be open-sourcing the code ASAP, but I'm still working out exactly what that will look like, and I also have a few personal reasons for delaying." So there's not git yet for everybody else who is wondering.

    Good luck to the dev! I think this will be a good tool to help some, and for the rest, hopefully we can get them onto something that fits them better (Mint, Aurora, etc.).
