Dual Boot has become a minefield of late. Dueling Distros. Battling boot loaders. Any one system can put your entire multiboot installation at risk. And that's before Windows 10 shenanigans kick in.
It is in fact doable and simple. You need to have all distributions boot from its own partitions. Do not allow any operating system, except one, to write to the MBR. Choose one system to write and control the MBR, only one. The rest must boot from their respective partitions only, under control of the main operating system. Ie, one grub controls it all. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" (Minas Tirith))
