How to install Linux from a Windows installer
It has a fork for UEFI systems but it's also not updated anymore https://github.com/hakuna-m/wubiuefi Though it still works more or less
-
WinLinux 2000
wubi was also awesome letting install and use Ubuntu as a single file on your Windows drive
There is a modern fork which more or less works https://github.com/hakuna-m/wubiuefi
- How would you install Ubuntu on a 2nd hard drive without losing data on it
-
Pour one out for our long lost brethren, this is where I got my start
Looks like someone already did! https://github.com/hakuna-m/wubiuefi/releases
-
This boot screen feels so weird everytime. :D
Went down a rabbit hole clicking that link and discovered a modern fork of it that still works today! https://github.com/hakuna-m/wubiuefi

Is installing Linux as a second OS on a new PC worth it?

Linux on the laptop works so damn well that it’s boring
I wish Ubuntu didn't kill Wubi tho. We used that at my first workplace on laptops with Windows and it was so damn good. There is a new fork [0] but it's a hit and miss with modern UEFI and especially with Windows 11 (had to use it for some reason). And other distros never had an option like this afaik, none does as of today. But I know it's all about Docker, VMs, or WSL nowadays yet Wubi covered a niche segment which was pefect.

Could be bad for software or storage using Ubuntu from live usb?
Wubi. It creates an iso inside your partition and you can delete it without any hassle. It's a little slower than running on bare metal though.
-
Getting back into it dual boot
If you have Windows installed, you can try WubiUEFI (if you have a UEFI system). It installs like any other windows app and can be removed if needed. https://github.com/hakuna-m/wubiuefi/releases/tag/20044r344

can we not install ubuntu in windows anymore?
Yeah ther's a new version of it https://github.com/hakuna-m/wubiuefi .

Lenovo Thinkpad T14s Gen 2 will not charge after update
Windows Update ran this morning and updated a few Lenovo system updates, after which my laptop can now no longer charge. Windows reports it as 0% while the Bios reports it as 7% - has anyone else updated and ran into this? On the below GitHub page, looks to be a known issue but wondered if anyone else has managed a workaround? https://github.com/fwupd/firmware-lenovo/issues/329
- Does the ThinkPad E14 G3 AMD-versions have some type of production error?
-
PSA: firmware updates delete custom Secure Boot keys & boot order when using fwupd
Another relevant issue report on github.
- Brand new T14s Gen 3, dead within an hour of unboxing due to BIOS update. How does RMA work?

Linux on the laptop works so damn well that it’s boring
ya that service has been very helpful and tracking issues is great, but there can still be issues when installing. For example, I am dealing with a bug found in this list of issues: https://github.com/fwupd/firmware-lenovo/issues on one of my laptops.

ThinkPad Thunderbolt 4 Docking Station - Crashes laptop - Lenovo ignoring the issue
Has anyone had any success getting the ThinkPad Thunderbolt 4 Docking Station to work reliably on Linux? I'm running Pop-OS! and as per https://github.com/fwupd/firmware-lenovo/issues/191 it hard crashes (locks) the machine on boot and Lenovo have seemingly abandoned the issue for Linux users, despite the cost of this thing.

fwupd don't want to update my Lenovo firmware!
Unfortunately a UEFI capsule firmware update actually uses the old version of the firmware to apply the new version. So if you've got a super-old existing version you might need to use Windows (sad face) or a bootable CD to update to a slightly newer version, and from there fwupd can work. Lenovo are supposed to include a "old bios must be newer than X" in the firmware metadata, and so if you can file a bug in https://github.com/fwupd/firmware-lenovo/issues with your old BIOS version included, I can make sure it doesn't happen to anyone else. Sorry!

Ubuntu Locks Up w/ ThinkPad Universal TB4 Dock
I have the same issue, as do others (see https://github.com/fwupd/firmware-lenovo/issues/191). Seems Lenovo just don't bother with Linux these days, given it's been 8 months since this was reported.

Linux as only Os
It does seem that updating firmware might be the only thing to worry about. Do you use the program called fwupd, a.k.a. fwupdmgr? That program works well when it actually works. I have had many problems with it. (See here for problems it has on ThinkPads.) I suggest that you try it (if you have not already) and see whether it works for you. Or, if Pop_OS has some sort of GUI front-end for fwupd (does it?) then try that.
