Hello, I'm looking for a way to boot multiple operating systems at once. I want them to start easily or with difficulty, regardless of the drive size—preferably something over 1TB with shared memory across all OSes so files can be accessed between them. The systems I need are: Windows 10 (PRO?), Linux (Kali, Ubuntu, Linux Mint, and possibly others in the future), Mac OS X, and rebranded Android versions like Android Nougat 7.1.1 or Oreo when ISO files become available. Can you assist with this setup?

The Android device won't start when connected to a PC.

You can use an Android x86 ISO file, but I’m not sure it works smoothly across all those operating systems at once. Some users try multibooting multiple OSes from one drive, but it’s not always reliable by 2017 standards.

It seems to be a virtual machine or emulator, not starting up normally.

When it functions independently, creating a multi-boot setup becomes possible. The main concern is whether Linux recognizes it and includes it in your GRUB configuration, or if you need additional steps to enable it manually. I think the latter is more likely.

This task is only possible on a Mac computer. They probably use their own tools for this kind of triple boot. @DrMacintosh might have the most accurate advice on this.

It's possible, I've managed it before. Switching between macOS, Windows, and Linux on a PC is achievable, though we can't provide specific instructions.

I believed talking about starting mac os on non-official devices was against the rules because it could be seen as guidance for modifying software, possibly leading to legal issues around copyright infringement.

Someone suggested using Android-x86 because it offers a dedicated area for multibooting. Adding GRUB entries for each desired operating system simplifies the process and yields a setup comparable to existing configurations.

We don't provide guidance on that topic. Existing build logs demonstrate that such actions occur, which is understandable given their prevalence—similar to piracy—but we refrain from assisting with methods to perform them.
