Dual boot dappnode and Ubuntu

[TG1 (TG)]

Hi,

I was wondering if there were any issues with dual booting on an Intel nuc with dappnode OS and Ubuntu. In order to ensure that they do not overlap, I was able to install the dappnode os on the m.2 ssd drive and then install Ubuntu on the sata ssd. I made sure that in the event of a restart the first one to load is dappnode os via grub customizer. Everything seemed to work fine; however, since I don’t understand linux that well I decided to wipe everything and fresh install dappnode os only.

I’ve been rethinking it and it would be good to have both if there were issues and I didn’t want to get penalties for eth 2.0. Would dual booting be a bad idea or as long as the path of the operating systems stay separate it shouldn’t matter?

Thanks

That does not sound like something easy to be done by someone new to Linux

From a hardware point of view it does not look very safe, any harm accidentally made to the machine will take down both instances (like the dog eating the nuc, or a glass of water spilled over)

If your are worried about having redundancy or a back up you better get to our chat and ask away for other users advice.
