TBH, my approach would be to dump the double system partition 'for future updates'. I've done that, too, in the past - and mostly regretted it later.
If you want to test a new install, you might as well do it with a separate USB disk, and when fine, move that one to the main disk (or do a dup/reinstall).
Yep, if you have USB3 and an external SSD.
Then you'd only have to combine the two consecutive partitions, which is relatively easy if your current system is in the lower one.
Yep.
(also, moving a system to a different partition is really easy with btrfs - you might consider that for a new install....)
What if they decide to create a new layout, as has happened in TW? -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)
