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.

/help–help, found the Windows guy.
I’ve never actually tried it, but I think you could use BTRFS subvolumes to multiboot without partitioning the physical space.
And then maybe even use deduplication across subvolumes?
That was the exact thing I was going to suggest. It does work!
I forgot about this comic.
I agree with the ball, it would be easier and more convenient to use virtualization, containers or something similar.
“I don’t do it because it’s easy, I do it because I thought it would be easy.”
-OP maybe
Whole disk LVM2 logical volume with a thin pool. Now you can have as many “partitions” as you like. Enable vdo deduplication and save even more space.
20-disk RAID5 it is then.
If I don’t have 1tb of wiggle room the system is entirely useless to me
200 gigabytes per distro?
Oof, didn’t know magic 8 balls ran Windows. Maybe a plan 9 ball would be less biased?
Did you ever try to boot one of your other partitions using KVM ?
Did you ever try to boot one of your other partitions using KVM ?
No, I never tried that before.
So, you mean like if I am booted up into Fedora on /dev/sda2
then I use KVM to boot up Slackware installed on /dev/sda6 for example?
Nope, never tried that.Ooh, I’m just learning about systemd-nspawn, now I want to try it.
I just use cubes so I don’t have to think about it, and I can run whatever distro I want.
Do you mean Qubes OS?
Yeah. Voice to text is far from perfect lol
Cringe. And shaking an eight ball frees trapped air causing bubbles in the window.

Degenerate fucking distro hoppers, why can’t you settle down with TempleOS like a good fucking Christian?
here, you dropped something: /s
Just use a virtual machine
