Nothing is true unless some official source confirms it, I think... – Abhimanyu Aug 13 '14 at 02:45

btw, an Ubuntu installed inside Windows seems to use a file as a hard disk. Probably this hinders reading from hard. – Minimus Heximus Aug 13 '14 at 02:48

You mean an Ubuntu permanently installed inside Windows? That doesn't make sense.. – Abhimanyu Aug 13 '14 at 02:50

I mean wubi installer. – Minimus Heximus Aug 13 '14 at 02:59

Yeah but after install, Ubuntu is a separate OS, right? So it's not exactly "Ubuntu inside Windows". – Abhimanyu Aug 13 '14 at 03:03

1@Abhimanyu Wubi creates a filesytem for Ubuntu on a disk image stored inside an NTFS filesystem (almost always the NTFS filesystem of an installed Windows system). So in terms of where it is stored, a Wubi system really is Ubuntu inside Windows. – Eliah Kagan Aug 13 '14 at 03:10

1@MinimusHeximus The short answer is, yes, a Wubi Ubuntu system is slower than a comparable regular installation of Ubuntu. We may close this as a duplicate of What performance differences are there when installing with Wubi? – Eliah Kagan Aug 13 '14 at 03:15
