Hi all,
I’m currently using Zorin OS, but I’d like to perhaps explore other Linux distributions. Is it possible to dual-boot another distro, and then if I’m satisfied and after having installed all the apps I need, to erase my Zorin OS partition and only use the other, new distro?
Why not use virtual machines? They are much less invasive, and you can easily remove them. The only downside is that it uses a bit more resources than you would normally, but it’s not a huge problem nowadays, even for budget computers as long as your host desktop is not resource-hoggy.
VMs don’t give you the best impression as they tend to be laggier and sometimes buggy then they should be
Part of what impressed me about Linux is how snappy it is especially on higher end hardware, always used to think it was purely for rescuing old computers
Because I want to, if I like the experience, just keep the installed OS and delete my primary OS. Using a VM, if I end up liking the simulated OS, I have to install it and set it up anew.
