I had no idea that they used your jailbreak, I thought it were a parallel and independent operational system (like my PC with ubuntu and windows).

Thank you!
Hmm, possibly it is easier. I am the type to think more about the technical difficulties.
The hacks here are modular, you only install the things you want.

Duokan is an alternative OS -- but technically, it hooks into the early boot processes and loads its own window manager and apps. It shares the same kernel.
Either way, to install Duokan you need root -- which is the difficult part.
Imagine if Ubuntu could only be installed if the bootloader was signed by a certificate matching a public key in the BIOS/UEFI. Hmm, Secure Boot, anyone?

Hits rather close to home, doesn't it...
