Ubuntu, a popular Linux distribution, is not inherently stored within the Windows operating system. However, you can install Ubuntu on your Windows computer in several ways:
1. Virtual Machines:
- VirtualBox and VMware Workstation are popular virtual machine software that allows you to run Ubuntu within a virtual environment on your Windows system.
- Ubuntu files are stored within the virtual machine's designated folder, typically located within the user's documents or program files directory.
2. Dual Booting:
- Dual booting allows you to install both Windows and Ubuntu on your computer's hard drive.
- Ubuntu is installed as a separate operating system on a dedicated partition, which is independent of the Windows partition.
3. Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL):
- WSL is a feature in Windows 10 and later that allows you to run Linux binaries directly on Windows.
- Ubuntu files are stored within a designated WSL filesystem, typically located in the
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Packagesdirectory.
Note: The exact location of Ubuntu files may vary depending on the installation method, version of Ubuntu, and your specific system configuration.
