Booting Linux off a drive isn't any more stressful to it than normal reading and writing. If you are worried about the effects of the swapfile, you can adjust its usage. You could even disable the swapfile altogether, but this is likely to cause freezes unless you keep your memory usage down.

What are the advantages of windows in Linux?

Your question is rather cryptic. Do you mean Microsoft Windows, leading to dual-booting Windows and Linux? Please expand your question.


What is dual booting in Linux operating system?

Dual booting is not restricted to Linux. Dual booting refers to the presence of two operating systems on one computer. Switch/choice between these operating systems is determined at boot time (either via bios or boot manager), therefore only one operating system is at use at a time.


When is the boot sequence completed on a computer?

When it finishes booting. (Starting Windows\Mac OSX\Linux\Other)


Does it matter what operating system you install first when dual-booting?

If one or of the operating systems does not cooperate well with dual-booting (such as Windows with a Linux distribution), then you should install the troublesome operating system first. If both are well-behaved (such as two Linux distributions) then it does not generally matter.


Can you install Linux on a computer that has another operating system already installed?

Yes. Linux can either replace the existing system or be installed alongside it in what is called "dual-booting."


If you chave a laptop that wont boot windows and wont boot Linux from the CD drive how do you boot it with Linux?

Can Linux and Windows run on the same PC together?

Yes, and is known as a dual-booting computer. Install Windows first, then your chosen distribution of Linux (Ubuntu is one example). You will be given the choice of which to use at the start of booting up the computer.


How Linux 7 boots?

There is no such thing as a "Linux 7". Even if there is a Linux distribution trying to market itself as a Windows 7 lookalike, it would be in a lot of legal trouble with Microsoft. As far as the Linux kernel, it's not the sole component responsible in booting. Additionally, the Linux kernel is up to at least 4.13 as of now.


The details you need for a complex Linux Configuration are more likely found in the portion of the BIOS configuration?

BIOS settings are irrelevant to Linux, except for the initial booting where the BIOS loads the bootloader from a medium, which in turn loads the Linux kernel. The only thing the kernel ever needs from the BIOS after that is to provide power management functions (ACPI). Thus, all settings not related to either booting or power management are ignored.


Does NTFS support Dual booting?

Yes, NTFS (New Technology File System) can support dual booting, as it is compatible with multiple operating systems, including Windows and some Linux distributions. However, while Windows natively supports NTFS, many Linux distributions may require additional drivers or configurations to read and write to NTFS partitions. It's important to ensure that the bootloader used for dual booting can recognize and manage the NTFS file system properly. Overall, dual booting with NTFS is feasible, but compatibility considerations should be taken into account.


How do you use Windows XP and Linux operating system together?

By dual-booting. You install them both to the same computer and choose between them at boot.


Is Maplestory compatible with obuntu?

No, it's only possible to play MapleStory on any distro of Linux with a Virtual Machine. It's also quite a hassle. I'd recommend dual booting into Windows/Linux so you can play games without trouble and also enjoy the benefits of linux.
