    Sure. After you’ve installed it, add its entry to your bootloader.

    There really isn’t any technical limit of how many OSes you can install aside from space. Have 500 Alpine installations if you want. All good.

        Doesn’t alpine refer to the part of the mountain above the forest, above the limit of tree growth? So maybe they are trying to deforest OP’s computer?

          “500 Alpine installations? Are you trying to turn their computer into a ski resort?”

          Better now? 🤣
