Libertix installs Linux with 3 mouse clicks for Windows users

Libertix introduces a graphical installer that runs inside Windows and adds a Linux dual-boot entry with three mouse clicks. The process eliminates the need to create a bootable USB stick or to resize partitions manually. Users launch the application and confirm the installation to add Linux alongside Windows.

Adoption requires downloading the Libertix beta from the project’s website and running it on a Windows 10 or 11 machine. The tool relies on community funding, with a June 2026 goal of 3000 € to support a full-time contributor, and accepts donations through GitHub, Mastodon, and Telegram. Because the software is still in beta, its stability and compatibility with future Windows updates are not guaranteed.

The installer is explicitly stated to work on Windows 10 and 11; earlier Windows versions are not mentioned as supported. It creates a dual-boot configuration that preserves the existing Windows installation, but the material does not describe how it handles custom partition layouts, encryption, or secure boot settings. Consequently, users with non-standard disk configurations may find the tool unsuitable.

For engineers, the ability to add Linux without leaving Windows can simplify the setup of test environments, allowing quick switches between operating systems for cross-platform builds or debugging. The project’s source code is hosted on GitHub, enabling inspection and potential contributions from the community. Feedback channels such as Mastodon and Telegram provide avenues for reporting issues or requesting features. Continued development depends on the success of the funding campaign and ongoing donor support.
