This is a demonstration of establishing a desktop system running two or more linux installations. For the example we shall install two installations of Linux Mint of different versions.
- Version 19.2 will be installed because user wishes to have the latest softwares and gaming
- Version 18.3 will be installed for compatibility with productivity software user requires for work
The primary installation will be the 19.2.
Create the bootable media: The easiest way to install Linux Mint is with a USB flash drive. Linux mint includes software called "USB Image Writer" that you can use to write the ISO to the flash media. You can use a program called Etcher on Windows, or refer to our guide Bootable USB flash drive utilities.
Tip: Create a bootable USB drive from the command prompt with dd.
sudo dd if=./linuxmint-19.2-cinnamon-64bit.iso of=/dev/sdc bs=4M && syncsudo dd if=./linuxmint-19.2-cinnamon-64bit.iso of=/dev/sdc bs=4M status=progress conv=fdatasync
