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 just use qubesos so I don’t have to think about it, and I can run whatever distro I want.
Edit: spelling
Do you mean Qubes OS?
Yeah. Voice to text is far from perfect lol

Got 'em!
but in which distro should you run this?
any loosely posix-following os will work with this.
EDIT: joke went over my head
shared home partition
I’m not hearing a “no”
No
Thank you, finally!!
goes down to 19 partitions

No?
Debian Testing/Sid.
Yeah?
I agree with the ball, it would be easier and more convenient to use virtualization, containers or something similar.

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.
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…?
Degenerate fucking distro hoppers, why can’t you settle down with TempleOS like a good fucking Christian?
here, you dropped something: /s
One question: Why?
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!
If I don’t have 1tb of wiggle room the system is entirely useless to me

/help–help, found the Windows guy.
She’s hella cute ☺️
also you forgot Debian
and bazzite or other atomic fedoodoo
Just use a virtual machine
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.
