I Built a Desktop App That Fixes Linux Dual-Boot Folder Access in One Click

Short summary

The author built Lindy, a Tauri 2 + React desktop app that solves a key pain point for Linux dual-boot users: accessing Windows NTFS partitions with one click, eliminating manual fstab edits or risky chmod 777 workarounds. The app auto-detects Windows partitions, finds user folders, and mounts them with proper permissions via polkit, no terminal required. It's open source on GitHub with ready-made installers (.deb, .rpm, AppImage) available now.

  • No terminal, no manual fstab edits, no permission headaches—proper polkit-based security built-in
