Hi :)
Windows and Gnu&Linux can share the same config folder but you might need 2
versions of the extensions you use. You can keep both versions in the same folder
as each other.
It is better to set-up the Windows side first and then get the Gnu&Linux side to look at
the Windows config folder as the Windows side might have extra settings that are not needed in
Gnu&Linux. Also Windows is blind to Gnu&Linux file-systems whereas Gnu&Linux can
easily read/write Ntfs and Fat32, Fat16 and the rest.
I don't think it makes any difference after install but with Gnu&Linux there are at
least 2 different installers; Rpm& Deb. It's the same source-code. Like the
difference between taking your shopping home by car or bike it's all the same once it's
on your shelves. I'm not 100% certain about this tho.
One note about splitting usb-sticks into 2 partitions. The Windows one (Ntfs or
whatever) needs to be 1st on the stick and needs to be created 1st. If Windows
can't find one of it's own partitions at the front of the drive then it assumes
the drive is unformatted or corrupted. On normal ide/sata drives and internal
SSDs it seems to be ok.
Thank you for the clarification. I was not aware that todays Microsoft
operating systems still behave like DOS when you go down to the system
level.
Anyway i think this thread was mostly about the various Windows platforms.

You did not read the original post I quoted again trying give a more
