    Only if you have a swap partition, and if you dual-boot then that swap partition is gonna be overwritten all the time.

      What

      Linux swap partitions have no bearing on Windows boot times. Or Windows in general. Windows doesn’t care about partitions it doesn’t recognise. (It might, on occasion, fuck with the bootloader though, but I hear it’s a little bit less of a headache in UEFI days)

        Fast-boot normally involves saving Windows to a swap partition and basically just half-hibernating. If that swap partition is shared with Linux it’d get overwritten and the boot method would swap to the slower one.

        As far as I know there’s no way to make a swap partition be exclusive to Linux or vice-versa.
