will windows fit?

[Jim]

I have Kubuntu 22.04 installed.  It takes 33GB for the OS and the 
software I installed.  Here's what df -h returns
/dev/sda1                 916G   33G  837G   4% /
/dev/sdb1                 1.9T  1.5T  277G  85% /home/

I've been referring to windows as Bill's bugware.  I guess I should 
start calling it Bill's bloatware.
