This also was said by the video, but it's not a performance disadvantage while running the Linux. Hibernation especially isn't needed concerning to my arguments per Wubi. The suspend to disk function often don't work with Linux, for me it was fine with Suse 10.x and after that it never was fine again with any other Linux, resp. I didn't tested it with my latest Linux installs. For audio production Linux, hibernation won't work, because of jackd. > * Wubi filesystem is more vulnerable to hard reboots (unplugging the > power) than a normal filesystem.^[1] > <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wubi_%28installer%29#cite_note-WubiFAQ-0> > This is an argument against Wubi, but maybe this will be solved in the future. > * Since Wubi installs Ubuntu on the same file partition as Windows, > Ubuntu may see a slight degradation in performance over time due > to FAT32 <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FAT32>/NTFS > <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NTFS> file fragmentation > <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fragmentation>, which could possibly > be alleviated via defragging > <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defragging> the disk. > As long as it will be possible to do audio recordings I can't see any problem. My argumentation refers to Windows users, to get in contact with FLOSS. Windows users will defragg their Windows partitions. I don't like FAT and NTFS, anyhow it's not slower on my machine, than ext2 or ext3, but it felt that Reiser for some of my Linux on an older machine was slower than FAT and NTFS. Wubi seems to be the best way to become FLOSS more common. Less Non-Linux-Computer-User are fine with Live-CDs or full installs, independent if the reasons for this are correct or based on rumours.
