## What it is
WubiUEFI is a fork of Wubi, the Windows Ubuntu Installer, adding UEFI support and compatibility with recent Ubuntu releases. It installs Ubuntu into a file on a Windows partition, creating a dual-boot setup without CD burning or dedicated partitions.

## Use cases
- install ubuntu from windows without a usb drive
- dual boot ubuntu alongside windows without repartitioning
- install ubuntu on a uefi-only machine from within windows
- try ubuntu inside a windows partition
- set up a removable ubuntu installation on an external drive

## When to choose
- you want to try ubuntu without modifying partitions or burning media
- your machine boots via uefi and the original wubi does not work
- you want a normal dual-boot ubuntu install created from inside windows

## When to avoid
- you want a standard dedicated-partition ubuntu installation
- you need a supported, officially maintained ubuntu installer
- you are installing a non-ubuntu debian-based distribution

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: active
- function: deployment
- domain: operating-systems, developer-tools, windows
- platform: windows, cpp
- tags: wubi, ubuntu, uefi, wubiuefi, windows-installer, dual-boot, disk-image, installer, bootloader, linux
