  1. Dual boot is like Running more than 1 OS on a particular machine.
  2. Swap area: Area for temporarily storing data for processing when the main memory is full.
  3. Mount point: Mount point is a directory in a file system where additional information is logically connected from a storage location outside the operating system's root drive and partition.
  4. File system: The file system is a process that manages how and where data on a storage disk, typically a hard disk drive (HDD), is stored, accessed, and managed.
  5. ext4 is the filesystem used in GNU/Linux.
  6. Disk types are there in the system: Basic and Dynamic.
  7. Basic disk: Basic disk is a disk that contains partitions, such as primary partitions and logical drives, and these, in turn, are usually formatted with a file system to become a volume for file storage
  8. Dynamic disk: Dynamic disk is a disk that contains volumes that span multiple disks and fault-tolerant volumes such as RAID-0, RAID-1, etc.
  9. Basic Disk type is being used in my own PC.
  10. What is the problem of the dynamic disk during Ubuntu installation? Ans: Ubuntu's bootloader GRUB can't recognize a Microsoft dynamic disk/volume/partition (SFS), and so it can not boot from it.
  11. Partition types are there in the system: Ans: 2 types, Primary and Logical.
  12. MBR partition: Master Boot Record is an old partitioning scheme.
  13. GPT partition: GPT stands for GUID Partition Table. It's a new partitioning scheme. It overcomes the limitations of MBR.
  14. MBR partition type is being used in my own PC.
  15. BIOS mode I have: 2 types of mode like Legacy and UEFI.
  16. UEFI Mode: UEFI stands for Unified Extensible Firmware Interface. It's a new BIOS mode with mouse support and GUI.
  17. BIOS/legacy mode: Legacy mode is an old BIOS mode that doesn't offer a GUI or mouse support. BIOS connects the firmware of the motherboard to the OS.
  18. Legacy BIOS mode is being used in my system. Ans: Legacy.
  19. Difference between UEFI and Legacy Mode: UEFI offers mouse support and a GUI but Legacy BIOS doesn't.
  20. The benefit of the LTS Ubuntu version: LTS receives bug fixes and security updates for a longer period of time than other builds.
  21. BIOS stands for Basic Input/Output System.
  22. MBR stands for Master Boot Record.
  23. GPT stands for GUID Partition Table.
  24. UEFI stands for Unified Extensible Firmware Interface.
  25. LTS stands for Long Term Support.
