Do the distros remember and keep everything the same way though? like do they remember all your settings and apps and what not? Idk why, but im under the impression that they wipe each time. probably way wrong lol
Gotcha, thanks again. Now creating these partitions is a bit more clear, now I have to learn about mounting and all of that. No clue on that side of things
I gotcha, that makes sense. I'm really at the beginning of my homelab or self hosting journey. I've been exploring alot of random aspects and keep forgetting to think about the basic things first. My problem is figuring out how to start and setup things properly, but that's a whole other thread/story lol
Thanks. could you clarify the ram issue? you mean just by setting up a swap? and on board storage, are you referring to creating a separate partition for storage? how would you get all three distros to automatically store things on that drive?
Thanks again. So did you mention it's not really necessary to install an efi partition? Idk if I need it or not? or is it just better safe than sorry, sorta like a swap?
Thanks! and as far as making one bootloader your default, is that just a matter of changing the order of your boot process? and if a distro automatically installs their own bootloader, would just the first installed one take precedence by default or is there some configuring you have to do? so I maybe really just be overthinking this. Is it as simple as making roughly 3 ~60gb ext4 partitions and simply just do the regular install according to each partition? what about mounting and all that. No clue how that all works
Perfect! thank you. And I always thought containers and VMs were opposite, like a container is more ingrained into the distro. TIL!
thanks, makes it sound easier then. but what about the mount points like I mentioned? and do people make their own partition for the home directory??? and how does a storage partition integrate with three different distros? I just want to make sure I cover all my bases.
Well speaking of Amazon, I actually read that Amazon Basics is a great option for low level stuff like cables, chargers, adapters, etc.
