Multibooting (lemmy.world)
submitted 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) by neevadu@lemmy.world to c/linuxmemes@lemmy.world

True story: I did get up to 11 distros recently in a multiboot setup on my Thinkpad. I used Refind for the boot manager and everything worked well.

I had:
1 - Fedora
2 - Alma Linux
3 - Anti-X
4 - Slackware
5 - ElementaryOS
6 - Linux Mint
7 - Mageia
8 - EndeavourOS
9 - PopOS
10 - Lubuntu
11 - openSUSE

I'll probably make another run at it and try to get up to 20. I need to lay out the partitions better. I definitely need to add Void and Alpine to the list.

Sure! What the hell, throw a couple of BSDs in there too, why not?

yeah, I was thinking about that too. And OpenIndiana as well.

Yes! I missed the heyday of Solaris, so I've been sorely tempted to try out OpenIndiana.
