Agreed, dual Linux booting is complicated. Dual, meaning, one Linux, one Windows, is quite a common thing: most people coming from Windows will want this, so it must be handled.
For those that don't know: Windows 8 and newer have a "off" state where they leave NTFS volumes in a particular unclean state. ntfs-3g is able to recognize that state and it refuses totally to work with those volumes until windows is rebooted and cleanly shutdown. It sounds like Linux needs to add some similar hibernation related locks to dirty filesystems to prevent the data corruption Carlos is talking about. Until that happens, I vote one swap per system.
