You should be able to upgrade Linux just fine on a dual-booted system. Linux tends to be friendly with other OS's and also tends to use GRUB2, which is also very dual-boot friendly.

No, you're fine. Just run apt-get dist-upgrade (or whatever the command is now).
Thank you, and another thing :

Do you know how can I hide the grub menu?

    Some CRTs are very much worth the price
  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    i used to go out to the recycling center every couple weeks and look at the crts and other electronics people would drop off. Usually screens were broken or severely scratched from being tossed around. Did find a good one here and there, but never anything like a 1080i widescreen crt.

  • a_username_that_isnt_cool @ a_username_that_isnt_cool:
    Is it piracy if it was released for free? Not in my opinion, but I also think it's not piracy if buying it isn't owning it, and it's not piracy if you can't buy it from the original creators anymore.

    Free release can have loopholes where they still make money through ads
