Dual booting Manjaro-i3 and Manjaro-KDE

Hey. I’m currently running Manjaro-KDE on my laptop for quite a while now. I wanted to try and learn the i3-wm, so I installed Manjaro-i3 in a virtual box but it was laggy and unresponive. So I’m considering to install Manjaro-i3 alongside Manjaro-KDE.

Is it safe to do so? Does GRUB have any problems with this?

I want to dual boot Manjaro-i3 and not create a different session on KDE and install i3 on it.

Thanks!

No problem at all, I’m running ManjaroKDE and Manjaro-i3 on my system for over a year now.

The only thing I see to consider is, not to use the same swap partition in case you use hibernation.

Thanks for the reply!

But will both editions be listed on the grub screen?

I’m not planning to make a swap partition add I have plenty of RAM but thanks for the heads-up!

Yes as long as you have the following line (uncommented) in your /etc/default/grub:

GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=false
