In an Armory tutorial on youtube Andy said he useing ubuntu. But not much into why he did it. When searching Im most finding installation problems. Perhaps I can do a better search. But how come its better to use it when even if the computer is cold?
A cold windows computer should be that secure as ubuntu?

Linux is open source with a world class team of programmers behind it. It's generally a lot more secure than windows. Almost all malware targets windows directly because that's what most people use.

It might be ok to use windows if the computer is cold, but it's still riskier in general.

I see!
What is riskier?
The only risk I can see, would be when I do transactions with my usb. Between [cold win 8 computer] and [hot win 8 computer].
Perhaps in the futher there are more malmware targeting this solution. So perhaps the cold computer can be infected that way(?). And in that situation ubuntu would been better?
I've also turned bluetooth and wifi off in bios from cold computer.

But if I do use ubuntu, loaded from an usb. Is it okey to use windows 8 from the HD?
Not as a hot computer. But to store pictures and other backups? Or can they ever talk to each other when im running two different OS?
