Is that for archmages?
Primarily, but lower magicians can likey find some wisdom there as well.
There's actually a distro called Sourcemage with commands like cast/dispel/summon and packages stored in grimoires. I ran it for awhile on my servers. The command structure is quite fun.
So, I have been doing a system with my pc where I have a case full of different nvme ssds with different OSes on them. I might have to do that on one of them.
Have you thought about just running KVM on a machine and building out virtual images there? Then you don't have to swap hardware and you can reach them from your desktop through VNC.
Sure, but I prefer running bare metal also I then can move it around between various computers. Each one is used a regular system, just different purposes. So, running in a virtual machine doesn't make much sense for me. I'll use nothing but openbsd for a week, then I'll swap over to arch to play some games, then I go into gentoo or something else for whatever other task I'm feeling.
Gotcha! No worries, I just thought I'd mention it since some people don't seem to even know that's an option.
It's all good it's definitely a good option, I've done it before. I also just get a level of amusement out of swapping sticks out. Gives me the same feeling as swapping out floppies for different software.
Oh someone who remembers floppies... Yeah those were the days, things were a lot easier back then.
Does a wizard install your software?
