From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

This is a rather low-quality post. You didn't even tell the audience what operating systems you are running.

I'm impressed, just because I've never had the need to do this.

So, like Windows, Linux, and macOS? Or 3 different distros?

The hardest part of it all is keeping grub's sh*t together.
