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.

I use Linux because it gets out of my way and lets me get things done.

To you Linux seems to be the thing that needs to get done...?

  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
