How we can hack Linux with no booter password?

First you have to enter run level 1 by appending "1" or "single" or "init=/bin/bash" line at the kernel parameter line which you can access from the grub boot loader.(You have to select your OS and press "e" or something to edit the boot parameters. This can only be achieved if the grub is not password protected)

Then, issue the usual password for password reset

Is ubuntu Linux is the best flavor?

This is too subjective to answer. What may be the "best" Linux distribution for one user will be despised by another for a few reasons. I personally do not care for Ubuntu as an Arch user. I don't generally recommend it anymore for new Linux users in favor of Mint because I believe Ubuntu's "suitability" is slowly decreasing due to how its developers seem to think. The planned Wayland switch will probably make Ubuntu irrevocably broken for a lot more users than the Pulseaudio switch.

To me, the developer mentality of community involvement only seems to fly as far as third-party contribution and their developers have a nasty habit of ignoring the Ubuntu community in favor of whatever changes they decide are best for everyone despite outcry (PA was a very unpopular decision, Unity was even more unpopular. Instead of listening, the Ubuntu devs have made it nearly impossible for their users to switch away from both without major issue.).

That attitude was why I switched to Arch, which emphasizes heavily on user choice and doesn't force me to use options the developers "like" for me. I do grant Arch has gotten some criticism as of late for not being as transparent with its decision making as it should. And you should have seen the outcry that came when they switched to systemd as the default init system. Arch is also not the "best" either, as it's certainly not for everyone, being a distribution more geared to intermediate-advanced Linux users capable of resolving Linux issues themselves or finding help for themselves.

What is the difference between Windows NT and Linux?

There are many differences between Windows NT and Linux. Skipping over the obvious ones ( Windows NT is made by Microsoft, Linux has a higher server market share, etc...), probably the most interesting difference is how security is structured.

Linux's basic security / permissions structure is modeled after that of older Unices. Different users are assigned different privileges, and a single "root" user can do anything. Windows NT has no "root" user, and no single account has absolute power. In theory, this makes NT more secure, since more accounts would have to be compromised to gain control of the system. In practice, a single "Administrator" account is all that is usually needed to hijack an NT system, and many Linux distributions disable the root account by default.

What is the -i command in Linux?

It is not a command. It is an option for a command. Depending on the command it can modify the actions taken.

For cp, mv and rm it makes the command interactive (are you sure). For ls it shows the inodes of files.

Why is Linux sometimes hard to install than the other Operating System?

Depending on the distro, they may not be difficult at all. Some distributions are more complicated due to the level of configuration/customization that is desired by the user. Difficulty may arise when the hardware is not supported by the kernel at the moment, but this is generally not an issue.

What is Ramdisk?

A "ramdisk" is a storage device that is set up on top of RAM, hence the term. Because it's sitting on top of RAM, anything stored on a ramdisk is faster than if you would have used a mechanical hard disk. However, because RAM is limited, you will not be able to use a lot of it at once.

Why is everyone not using Linux?

Lot of people do not use Linux because using Linux would bring them out of their comfort zone. Most users use Windows at work, school, and home and have learned how to use computers through Windows. Even small changes are difficult for novice computer users. One of the main reasons is that some programs can only be used on certain operating systems. Linux, being a smaller player is catching up and is improving to the extent that today almost all programs can be used on Linux systems.
