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.

Sure. After you've installed it, add its entry to your bootloader.
There really isn't any technical limit of how many OSes you can install aside from space. Have 500 Alpine installations if you want. All good.
500 Alpine installations? Are you trying to turn their computer into a forest?
Doesn't alpine refer to the part of the mountain above the forest, above the limit of tree growth? So maybe they are trying to deforest OP's computer?
"500 Alpine installations? Are you trying to turn their computer into a ski resort?"
Better now? 🤣
ok thank you 🙂
