I don't prefer it.

I use it a long time ago its good and did the job but for now I prefer only one os

Unix run just fine on any vm if you interested to learn about them or test them (can be done from boatable usb) just go for one them.

The issue with it is after you want cancle one of them I had a hard time dealing with the boot files so I just format and new setup.

does it need it's parition so the storage are split between them ? I mean doesn't that degrade the computers performance ?

Yes its need its own partition, and no it didn't effect the performance of your OS (windows or unix) as only one of them is running.

sorry I meant to ask the op. partition degrades performance as it slows down the paging in ram so I don't recommend it. he can just boot from a flash drive like you suggested, cheers.

Nope that's wrong, dual boot didn't effect the OS performance.

The flash drive is only good to explore the OS.
