Holy crap thats crazy! Are simple things like surge protectors pretty much equal? Is there a point in researching brands for such a presumably simple thing?

Thank you

Nope, I just use a usb cable and charger that are powerful enough to charge my laptop

Thanks a lot. I'm just looking for more permanent solutions. Idk a whole lot about VM, but isn't your image wiped after each use? I dont want to keep tweaking settings and configurations, I want them to be like my own personal desktop where you install your own programs and make your own configurations and tweaks and they actually remain. Is that possible for VM distros? I would like to actually learn and use the other distros as work stations too. Not just trying to peak and toy around with other distros. If that were the case, I'd use my ventoy drive

I hear Ugreen has a real nice one, but you're probably already aware of that.

Haha same here but I tend to focus on the wrong things...I jump too far ahead and get confused all while neglecting the basics

But with virtualization or containerization, is there persistence for the distros? I think thats the right word. Like does it remember everything I tweak or install? I'm not necessarily wanting to just browse new distros, I want to learn them and use them too and if a VM wipes the image every time, thats not useful for me

Gahhh so virtualization is the best route huh? What about lxd/lxc, KVM, or other containers, possibly gnome boxes?

Very informative, thank you. Idk how you guys know all this stuff lol

I need to look into GaN chargers. I keep hearing about them but not too sure why they're so popular

Awesome, thanks for the reassurance :)

Awesome! I think somebody said 50-60gb should be fine per distro? do agree?

Thanks for all your help. I have a feeling that once I start the process, things will become more clear as Im actually doing it

Oh ok, so scratch that idea then lol see, this is the stuff I have no clue about! thank you

Ok I'm following. that doesn't make sense to me to make the mount points for one distro inside another. I dont understand that. In my mind, it seems like the mount points would all be to the bootloader? but again, I dont know much about this stuff lol

good info! I am interested in NUCs just not quite yet ;)

this is very very helpful, thanks alot. I love lemmy over reddit. you guys are actually kind and helpful here. so I mentioned in other posts, I don't store a whole lot of things at all and anything important is stored in a cloud. So do I necessarilly need to create a storage partition? can't I just use storage within each distro partition for trivial stuff like downloads or whatever? I hope that makes sense

Ahh ok I understand the filesystem types but still darn confused about the mount points. So the first distro I should mount to root??? then how could I partition the next distros in empty partitions that don't have directories yet (since theres no distro on them yet). Sorry, just getting a lil confused on some parts

awwee damn, thats another aspect I wasnt aware of. Are you referring to fstab or the actual grub config?

Oh I see now. So I don't have much of a need for storage on my device. If I have anything important to save, I just use my cloud drive. Also I was under the impression from another poster that I don't need to make a bootloader partition because the installer will automatically do that for me, idk what is correct? if that's the case, then just mount the second and third distros to that first bootloader plus swap and I should be fine?
