I made the drive auto-mount in Kubuntu by modifying \/etc\/fstab file.<\/li>\n<li>My Windows 7&#8217;s Firefox bookmarks, saved passwords and browsing history are now synchronized to my Kubuntu&#8217;s Firefox using using <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mozilla.com\/en-US\/mobile\/sync\/\">Firefox sync<\/a>. Its really great. The browser transition is really smooth \ud83d\ude00<\/li>\n<li>My Kubuntu bit torrent client (KTorrent) can continue downloading and seed a torrent initially started from Free Download Manager(FDM)  on Windows 7. However FDM doesn&#8217;t resume the download where KTorrent leaves it. It re-downloads the chucks again. Hope FDM would fix this issue later. Else i might switch to another bittorrent client.<\/li>\n<li>My Desktop wallpapers are shuffled from the same picture directory on both OS.<\/li>\n<li>I changed my Kubuntu Apache localhost directory to one created by XAMPP on Windows 7. That&#8217;s the main reason that allowed me to finally settle down on Kubuntu. The default directory is located at &#8220;\/var\/www\/&#8221;. This location is very &#8220;manhoose&#8221; (inauspicious\/evil). Despite being an administrator, you can&#8217;t freely save or edit anything there without using the &#8216;sudo&#8217; command lines in the terminal. This really sucked.<\/li>\n<li>I use the same editor i used on Windows i.e. Notepad++. The editor does not run natively on Linux and you would have to use Wine emulator.<a href=\"https:\/\/nayarweb.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/nppinteg.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-537 aligncenter\" title=\"nppinteg\" src=\"https:\/\/nayarweb.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/nppinteg-300x191.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"191\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nayarweb.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/nppinteg-300x191.jpg 300w, https:\/\/nayarweb.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/06\/nppinteg.jpg 471w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If i didn&#8217;t have such a Dual Boot system, i would have continued to use Windows 7 as i have read somewhere that Change just for the sake of Change is counter-productivity.
