I start: the most important thing is not the desktop, it's the package manager.

I never had a problem dual booting, even as a beginner. I always kept everything on two separate drives, though, each with their own EFI partition.

I kept them on the same drive, different EFI partitions.

I've also always done dual boot on one drive, no real problems other than when I know I caused the problem.

Also... What's up with that user name?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
