You have a computer with the Windows operating system, but would you like to take advantage of it and launch on it in some other famous environments, such as Mandriva, Fedora, OpenSUSE, or Ubuntu? You have to consider that UNetbootin is an application specially developed for this purpose, so we believe it could greatly help you in such a situation.

If you are wondering how UNetbootin works, we will comment a little. First of all, it reboots the computer in question, installing, on the other hand, in textual form, some of the distributions of Linux that we have indicated to it. As you can see in the screenshots accompanying this review, there are many versions of Linux available to you, so you have to look for one of them.

To be able to perform this script, UNetbootin takes care of downloading all the files that are available on the Internet, which in other words, means that we don't need to have an installation disk, as is usually the case. And what's more, in this case, you have no reason to worry about the possible loss of our original Windows operating system or all the contents you had previously installed on your PC.

UNetbootin works in such a way that it keeps the original installation of Windows on the one hand while generating at the same time that of Linux on the other, so effectively, we can say that we will have two operating systems available on a single computer. If you are wondering how both operating systems work when installed simultaneously, you should know that they have not caused us any difficulty.

To start taking advantage of it, you have to load a Linux distribution from an ISO file, although you can also use one that you have stored on your computer by downloading it previously. Once you have selected the ISO or distribution, you have to choose a destination drive, USB, or hard disk and reboot the system to take advantage of all the positive features of Linux.

Even if you have advanced knowledge, you should know that UNetbootin will allow you to make all the modifications you want within the preferences of both Windows and Linux to get the best possible experience with each of them. Anyway, don't be afraid, because you don't need to study it or anything like that to take advantage of the main functions of UNetbootin.

Suppose you haven't given Linux a try so far. In that case, you should know that the existence of UNetbootin is undoubtedly an excellent reason to practice a little with this alternative operating system to the most famous one, Windows. And remember that thanks to it we have the enormous benefit that means that we will not need a physical disk for the distributions, considering that you download them from the Internet.

A positive aspect of UNetbootin compared to other similar applications is that it is entirely portable, meaning we can run it whenever we want from any portable device. This is a huge advantage, as it saves us from wasting time with installations and other previous steps before going to what we want, which is to run an alternative operating system.

The user interface of UNetbootin does not allow for too many comments, considering that it is a gray window that takes up a good part of the screen space, with just a couple of options to choose the distributions. However, if we consider it a platform we will have open for a few moments, it is clear that it complies without significant surprises.

What is the best thing about UNetbootin? It allows us to dispense with physical disks when trying an alternative operating system to the traditional ones like Linux. We will include its central positive aspect in that one.

If we had to point out some negative points of UNetbootin, we believe in the same way that there is only one important one, which has nothing to do with the program itself but with the conditions necessary to take advantage of it. Although, as we said before, it is not strictly necessary to be computer professionals to take advantage of its functions, neither can we be absolute novices if we intend to take advantage of it. A previous approach to the execution of Linux distributions would undoubtedly be of enormous help in these cases.

In conclusion, the truth is that UNetbootin is positioned as a good alternative that we as users should consider whenever we want to try our luck with the operating system Linux, even without much knowledge about it. If you do not have a physical disk or do not want to download any of the possible distributions of this environment in this way, you should know that you will be able to try it anyway, thanks to this service.
