i will have some more question but since i don't want bother anyone for now its fine like this!
thanks for anyone who'll help

If both OS are on same PC, then you can choose to select bitcoin folder from NTFS HDD Drive.

But you need to mount this NTFS drive on boot and AFAIK Linux don't work well on NTFS drive.

i put my Dbcache to 2000mb and my internet connection its over 15mb/s so why its so slow? what else can i do? i'm worried that the problem its my low speed hard disk that is a normal 1TB maxtor not an ssd. but i'm not sure of it!
It took about 3 weeks for me to sync the chain, I don't think you need a SSD.

If your internet connection & peer speed are very fast, you'll see bottleneck if you use HDD. HDD usage always stay 100% and chart of connection speed always stop/heavily decreased for some times.

Also, since OP plan to migrate to Linux, partial of copied data usually verified (even though it only took few minutes on HDD).
