Microsoft wants indemnification agreement and the Fedora legal obviously declined. No, WSL is a system whereby packages from a Linux distribution are run in a container-like environment on Windows. It uses a Microsoft-provided version of the standard Linux kernel.
Excellent guide, thanks! Got this up and running in minutes and learned a bit more about how WSL works in the process compared to just pulling in an app.
Tensorflow and pytorch GPU setup for Machine learning is difficult in Fedora,so we are forced to take up debian packages like ubuntu. WSL reads that file on start, there are other options that can be set such as mounts, check the official Microsoft doco for options.
Ok, can we do vice versa? I think we can copy windows core, or at least remove Windows bloatware cortana, edge, etc. Then use KVM to run and expose the necessary apps only. For example steam. People use different operating systems the way they need it, this is called freedom of choice. I missed it. Thanks for adding the comment here for folks to find. Is there a way to create a shortcut, somo sort of launcher to avoid Opening Powershell and launching wsl?
Have you tried Windows Terminal? Is there a way to find the image by navigating the Fedora GitHub account? Just to make this article more future proof. For example when Fedora 34 comes out we need a sane way of finding its rootfs image. One note: To get preview I needed to change my insider ring to dev from beta. Everything was smooth sailing after that!
In the next section we will cover the steps to modify this menu to change the boot default and rename the "Other" menu option to something more descriptive. The above grub. The Fedora section of the configuration is as follows:. To configure the system to boot Windows by default simply change this line so that it reads as follows:. To increase the timeout before the default operating system boots, change the timeout value in this case to 20 seconds :.
The final task in our dual boot configuration process is to name the Windows boot option to something more descriptive than "Other". To achieve this, simply change the "Other" line as follows:. Note that the title value can be anything you choose. Below is the entire grub.
The next time the system is rebooted, the boot screen will wait 20 seconds before auto-booting. If no keys are pressed the system will now boot Windows by default, instead of Fedora Linux. If the user does intervene and display the boot menu, the Windows option is now titled "Windows" and not "Other". When running Fedora Linux in a dual boot configuration it is possible to access files located on the Windows partition. This can be achieved using the file browser, or by manually mounting the partition from the command-line.
This will display a window similar to the one in the following figure containing a list of devices attached to the system:. Amongst the listed devices will be an icon for the hard disk drive containing the Windows partition.
To mount this partition, double click on the disk drive and enter the root password if prompted to do so. A new window will subsequently appear listing contents of the top level directory of the Windows partition.
It should now possible to navigate throughout the partition and access any files contained therein. In addition, a new shortcut will appear on the desktop containing a disk drive icon.
Double clicking on this icon will provide access to the contents of the Windows partition. Another option is to manually mount the Windows partition. The first step is to create a directory to use as the mount point.
Many distributions like Ubuntu ask you to create an admin user during the installation itself. On the other hand, Fedora gives you this option when you log in to the installed system for the first time. When you first log in, it runs a setup and creation of user and password is part of this initial setup.

Hi, A couple of hours after posting my question I arrived to the solution. Selecting the first leads to an unusable system, likely because Fedora is installed in the wrong mode for this computer. If you ended up in that situation, try reinstalling with UEFI mode and the system should allow you to recover.
Hi, I followed these instructions on my Dell 2-in-1 and ended up with a system that cannot recognize the boot HD. Any hints?
Hmm… check two things…. If yes, at least you can easily boot into Windows. Second, try and make sure that there is an ESP partition and it is flagged for boot. Maybe reinstall making sure that ESP partition is flagged as boot.
Just one question: I shrank my C: drive to make room for Fedora. How does Fedora know where to install on the C: drive? The reason I ask is that there is no indication where Fedora will be installed except that it will install onto the same physical drive where Windows 10 is currently installed. Does Fedora know that there is unalloctaed space on the drive and autmoatically intsalls there?
Please log in again. The login page will open in a new tab. The system's firmware allows basic configuration, performs initial startup, initializes hardware, and brings up the bootloader. In most cases, the Fedora installer will recognize other operating systems on your computer and create boot menu entries for them. Some circumstances, such as missing menu entries, require refreshing of the menu entries.
The Guide also covers concerns regarding booting of specific operating systems. For information regarding booting of Fedora with Windows 8, refer to Section 8. To learn about using Fedora on Apple hardware, read Section 8. Using Root Safely. Many of the procedures in this guide involve editing of files or execution of commands that can only be performed as root. The root account should be used with educated caution and only when required. Your system can break or fail to boot if the account is misused.
You can also open a root shell using the root password su.
