About WUBI

MS Windows users used to be afraid to install Linux due to loss of data due to partitioning. With the use of WUBI, there is no longer that fear...

WUBI stands for Windows-Based Ubuntu Installer which is an official and free windows-based installer of Ubuntu Linux.

Here are some advantages using WUBI:

  • No creation of partitions
  • No manual resizing of Windows partition
  • Process to install intuitive, friendly and fast
  • linux entry added to windows boot menu (instead of grub bootloader)
  • Easy to uninstall

Here are some limitations of WUBI:

  • Limited size of Linux partition within Windows (eg. 30 Gb)
  • Hibernation is not supported
  • WUBI filesystem may be more vulnerable to power disruption recoveries
