Whitewater Foundry, Ltd. Co. specializes in adapting mainstream Linux distributions so they run natively inside Windows Subsystem for Linux, giving developers, DevOps engineers, and open-source enthusiasts a way to combine Fedora’s rich RPM ecosystem with the convenience of Windows 10 or Windows Server without dual-booting or virtual machines. The company’s single published title, Fedora Remix for WSL, repackages upstream Fedora repositories into a lightweight root filesystem that installs from the Microsoft Store or command-line package managers and immediately delivers dnf, systemd alternatives, current GCC/Clang toolchains, Python, Ruby, Node, container runtimes, and desktop-grade libraries. Typical use cases include cross-platform compilation, shell scripting, Ansible playbook testing, RPM packaging, and running Fedora-specific build servers on corporate Windows laptops; university labs also appreciate the remix for teaching Red Hat-style administration while keeping Windows as the host OS. Because the distribution tracks Fedora’s release cycle, users receive refreshed kernels, security fixes, and language stacks through the same familiar dnf update workflow, while still sharing files, networking, and hardware access with Windows applications. The publisher’s software is available for free on get.nero.com, where downloads are sourced from trusted Windows package channels such as winget, always install the latest upstream build, and can be queued alongside other applications for unattended batch installation.
Fedora Remix for WSL is a remix of upstream Fedora software for Windows Subsystem for Linux on Windows 10 and Windows 10 Server.
