Vendefoul Wolf Linux 20260301

Before you install

Read the release notes and installation guide before downloading. Select an image that matches the processor architecture and intended use: desktop, server, live media, virtual machine or another published edition. Test Wi-Fi, graphics, audio, storage and suspend from live media when that option is available. Back up important files before repartitioning, encryption changes or dual-boot installation. Download from an official project page or mirror, compare the published SHA-256 checksum, and verify a signed checksum when the project provides one. After installation, apply updates before adding third-party repositories or drivers.

1. 1
   Check the SHA-256

   Compare the file with the checksum published by Vendefoul Wolf Linux. If it does not match, download it again.

2. 2
   Write it to a USB drive

   Use Ventoy, balenaEtcher, Fedora Media Writer or Rufus. Copying the ISO as a normal file does not work.

3. 3
   Boot from the USB

   Open the boot menu (often F12, F10 or Esc) and choose the USB drive in UEFI mode. Back up your data first.
