Can you use a Windows boot loader to load the Linux operating system?

Yes you can. Ubuntu's WUBI uses the Windows bootloader (NTLDR) to boot Linux. It also uses the Windows filesystem (NTFS). This, however, is not the traditional way to do things. The traditional way to dual-boot Linux and Windows is to use a generic bootloader such as Grub to boot both Windows and Linux.


What is the Windows Subsystem for Linux?

The Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) is a feature of Windows 10 and later. It allows users to run programs compiled for Linux on Windows without dual-booting or using a traditional hypervisor like VMware / VirtualBox. There are two implementations of WSL available: WSL1 (the original implementation) emulates a Linux kernel. It uses less RAM than WSL2, but is incompatible with certain programs. WSL2 runs a real Linux kernel in a simplified version of Hyper-V. Because it uses a real Linux kernel, it is compatible with more applications, but it also uses more RAM.
