in reply to Liam Proven • • •#Rescuezilla is fantastic for #DistroHopping!
A quick backup with #Rescuezilla onto an external SSD and I can bare-metal any distro I want (and have all my stuff available via #Nextcloud ). When I’m done, a quick restore and it’s like I never left.
I put the Rescuezilla ISO on my Linux distro #Ventoy SSD that has a separate backup partition. That way, I can backup, install, & restore all from one drive.

in reply to RockyC • • •@RockyC I just use lots of partitions, myself, but you do you. 🙂
I think my personal record was DOS, Windows 10, FreeBSD, and 6 different Linux distros, which all shared one common `/home/` partition and one swap partition.
