Install Ubuntu with other linux distributions on same machine
I have brand new machine. I want to install Ubuntu and one more Linux distributions on same machine. When the machine is up I want to have the option to choose which Linux to load.
Is it possible? How to do it?
Partition the hard drive into however many installations you want using a tool like GParted.
Install each distro into their respective partitions.
-
Install grub to the root of the hard drive. You can either
- install Ubuntu last because it can automatically install grub to the root without issue, or
- if you installed Ubuntu first you may need to re-install Grub for it, e. g. with the help of Boot-Repair.
There are many tutorials online to achieve exactly what you are attempting to do. That is my reason for not providing extreme detail and posting this to the community wiki, rather than to myself.
