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.
Your question is rather cryptic. Do you mean Microsoft Windows, leading to dual-booting Windows and Linux? Please expand your question.
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 it finishes booting. (Starting Windows\Mac OSX\Linux\Other)
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.
Yes. Linux can either replace the existing system or be installed alongside it in what is called "dual-booting."
If you have a USB drive and your BIOS supports booting from a USB device then try that.
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.
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.
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.
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.
By dual-booting. You install them both to the same computer and choose between them at boot.
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.
