Wubiuefi: Install Ubuntu Linux on Windowss

Open-source tool for installing Ubuntu Linux alongside Windows without partitioning the hard drive, setting up Ubuntu within a file in the Windows file system.

What is Wubiuefi?

Wubiuefi is an open-source Windows application that makes it easy to install Ubuntu Linux on a Windows machine without partitioning the hard drive. It sets up a dual boot environment by installing Ubuntu within a file in the Windows file system, rather than dividing the hard drive into separate partitions for each operating system.

Some key features of Wubiuefi include:

  • Simple Ubuntu installation and uninstall process from within Windows
  • No need to partition hard drives or resize Windows partitions
  • Ubuntu runs from within a file in the NTFS file system
  • Option to easily transfer the installed Linux system to its own partition
  • Supports UEFI-based hardware for faster boot times

Overall, Wubiuefi lowers the barrier for trying out Ubuntu on a Windows machine. It allows users to easily install and run Ubuntu as an alternative operating system alongside Windows, with the ability to remove Ubuntu if desired without damaging Windows. The UEFI support also improves compatibility with newer hardware.
