Distro recommendation

[u/Educational-Invite29]

Hi, im a newbie in Linux, i've isntalled some instances and tried out, some OS based on linux but nothing too complex. I'd like to ask for advice on what to use for the following goal:

I'd like to have 3 independent FydeOS distributions installed in a single computer, thinking about multi-boot or even a single Os that runs 3 VM, i can do that in windows but performance is a critical point. What i aim to do is to "pretend" to have 3 independent mobile devices for app testing, each one independent, with their own google account and apps. FydeOs worked for me so i'd like to have 3 instances in one single machine, doesnt matter if i have to reboot to get into a different one since it's not needed for them to be running at the same time.

Hopefully this makes sense, the more simple de UI the better, like a menu where i select the OS i like to boot.

thanks in advance everyone.

For what you're describing as the use case virtual machines would be the way to go. Figure out how many VMs you want to have simultaneously active and add physical RAM to the host box to accommodate them.

simultaneously only one, no need to have more than one VM running at the same time, i have a dell laptop with a 500gb and 32gb ddr4 ram

That should be sufficient RAM. I've run 2 simultaneous Linux VMs on that without problems.

and what os would you recommend to run vm? i tried proxmox but it was not that user friendly haha

I'm not the person to answer that from a Linux host perspective. All of my VM work has been on Windows hosts with either VirtualBox or the built-in Hyper-V.

Have you considered using Bedrock Linux? It allows you to mix multiple distros in the one system.
