Win-2-Linux v1.0.0

The first official release of Win-2-Linux — install real Linux alongside Windows directly from Windows without a USB drive!

Key Highlights

  • 100% Native Windows Experience: Built with modern .NET 8, C#, and WinUI 3 (Windows App SDK Fluent UI).
  • Secure Boot Certified Out-of-the-Box: Exclusively supports Microsoft UEFI CA signed distributions:
    • Fedora 44 Live (with Desktop Environment selection: KDE Plasma default or GNOME Workstation)
    • Ubuntu 26.04 LTS
    • Linux Mint 22.1 (Xia)
    • Zorin OS 17.2
  • Safety First: Windows system SSD (C: drive) is permanently locked and protected against all partitioning operations.
  • Automated Unattended Installation: Preseeds Kickstart (Fedora), Autoinstall (Ubuntu / Zorin), and Preseed (Mint) automatically.
  • Automatic UEFI Bootloader Registration: Prepares a dedicated ESP partition and registers Linux directly in UEFI NVRAM.
