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?

    Personally having tried dual booting I’ve found every time I have a problem I just ran back to windows

    As long as you’ve got a machine that isn’t critical for work I’d just install bare metal and get a windows VM as a stopgap

      I’m currently daily driving Linux so I’m not planning on ever going back to Windows. No need to worry about that.

        Ah sorry misread there are quite a few “should I dual boot to switch from windows to Linux” posts

        It’s definitely possible to dual boot different distros but what I said still holds true, if you want to try it just installing it as the full os is the way to go. You can always backup and transfer your home directory to keep everything how you’d expect
