im currently dual booting endevouros with windows, and i have a lot of free/unpartitioned space on my drive. can i install another linux distro alongside endevour and windows? i have a separate home partition as well. do i only keep one linux/grub boot partition? im not too scared of nuking everything but id obv rather not. thanks!

    Containers or VMs sound like a much easier solution. But I guess a good question is, why do you want multiple OSs?

      Agreed. Is it cool you can do this? Sure… why not. Is it valuable/useful in any way? No.

      I’m an old grey beard at this point though… The days of being interested in the latest OS or distro hopping are long loooong behind me.

          Mint with Cinnamon on the desktop because it’s not flashy or unique in any way. I have actual work to get done and I just need the OS to get out of my way. I’ll customize my shell environment but only for productivity… I’m not spending hours tweaking my DE theme or color palette or whatever.

          Server side, where I spend the overwhelming majority of my time, the base OS doesn’t really matter. I am entirely in kubernetes so that’s mostly all abstracted away.
