How many of you keep several Linux distributions installed on one or more computer systems?
I've been doing it for 20+ years and I have had as many as 12-13 distributions installed at the same time on one system. I'm currently running 6-8 on my main laptop with an 8 TB disk drive and 8 GB of system memory.
I also have a few old (10 years+) systems that are good for testing "efficient" systems with minimal hardware requirements and support for aging hardware.
Lastly I have a recent generation smart phone and a current generation Chromebook so I can risk "breaking" something, though it seldom happens; I have to be either tired, careless or both.
Oh, I'm retired now so this is my stay at home hobby; my other hobby is water aerobics exercise.

Why do you have so many different Linux distributions installed? I find that two is a good number to have, one Debian based and one Fedora based.
