Fortunately this won't be my first dance with dual booting Linux, I've tried it a half dozen times since the late 90s, going as far back as multibooting booting slackware, nt4 and win98. I'm sure I'll go through a few distros before settling on one that works for me. I've also got 6 drives in my pc (2 nvme, 2 sata ssd and 2 HDD) so I have lots of room to play. One major thing for me is HDR support which is pretty new in Linux so I'm not sure where we stand on that.

Updoot for Slackware in the 90s!
