What is IWantLinux?

IWantLinux is a simple, beginner-friendly tool for Windows that helps you get started with Linux. Choose a distro from a curated list, and IWantLinux will download it and write it to a USB drive — ready to boot.

Supported distros:

  • Linux Mint
  • Ubuntu
  • Zorin OS
  • Aurora

Four steps. That's it. No expertise required. IWantLinux handles the hard parts so you don't have to.

Here's how it works.

  1. Choose your Linux: Pick from four beginner-friendly versions, each with a plain-English description. No idea which one to try? Linux Mint is a great starting point for Windows users.
  2. We download it: IWantLinux fetches the latest official installer directly from that version's own servers — verified complete and genuine. No malware, no outdated files, no guesswork.
  3. Plug in a USB: Grab any USB drive that's 8 GB or larger. IWantLinux detects it automatically and writes the Linux installer to it — with a real-time progress bar so you know what's happening.
  4. Restart & explore: Leave the USB plugged in and restart. Linux boots up and runs entirely from the USB stick — your Windows files, programs, and settings are completely untouched.
