What Linixify Does

  • Validates your system meets Linixify requirements.
  • Asks all questions at beginning (so you don't have to babysit the install).
  • Offers full disk overwrite or dual boot arrangement.
  • If dual boot, shrink C: volume to make space for Linux.
  • Provides tools to assist with freeing up space for Linux.
  • Disables Windows fast boot.
  • Provides Linux Mint, Ubuntu and most official Ubuntu flavors.
  • Downloads the Linux .iso file for you.
  • Installs Grub with Secure Boot support.
  • Calculates Linux equivalent values for your Windows locale and user account.
  • Reboots and runs the Ubiquity installer, automated, (fully in RAM with mounts to the iso removed).
  • If custom install type choosen, will provide Ubuntu's Ubiquity disk partiton GUI.
  • Reboots into your final installed Linux!

See the TODO for ideas for future versions.

⚠️Warning⚠️

Installer in Linux Mint versions 21.x is currently very buggy and not working properly.Use on your own risk. We do not recommend to use.

Requirements

  • Windows 10, 64 bit
  • Single drive hosting the C: volume
  • At least 4 GB RAM
  • At least 15 GB of free disk space
  • UEFI/BIOS
  • Administrator user permissions
  • Internet access
  • AC Wall Power

Limitations

  • Currently, Linixify only installs official flavors of Ubuntu and Linux Mint.
  • We are working on Windows 7 and 8, and support for other Debian/Ubuntu based Linux distros.
  • Error handling needs improvement.
  • Due to the nature of what Linixify does, it may show up as a false positive on some malware scans.
