"given that time is available to maintain such a system". That's where I seem to fall short. Time. And by the time I get done with my regular work (which lately I've been swamped with), I haven't really had the time to do any experimenting even with the Stretch virtual machine I've created (see my other longer reply on this). For my situation, dual boot isn't a good trade-off. For others, it's the best way to go. Different situations call for different configurations. Virtual machines work best for my situation. In fact, it was working with virtual machine versions of Linux that got me convinced (rather quickly, I might add) to switch from Windows to a GNU/Linux distro in the first place! That was almost 4.5 years ago and I have no intention of leaving! :) I used to distro-hop but I think I am going to stick with Debian now. I have to use Ubuntu at work, as it is so at least it's somewhat familiar.
