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.

But that's a live environment that doesn't save anything you install, right? That's not what I want.
I can't even install Nvidia drivers permanently which means I can't actually "try" it properly. The generic drivers/nomodeset can't run high refresh rate so I can't see how laggy it does or does not feel.
Based on what you're saying, I guess the only way to not remove the old bootloader would be to physically disconnect the other Linux system drive while it installs. Because having to use the USB to load the local system is really really not ideal.
Edit: I learned you can make a live usb with persistent storage which lets you install and update programs. However, there are limitations.
