Triple Booting

Hello, I've recently gotten interested in double booting but I've wanted to take it a step farther. I'm currently running windows 10 on an SSD and i have a blank 1tb HD that I've partitioned in half. My idea was that i could try loading Kubuntu and Mojave on to the same HD and be able to use him at native speed. I know I could use a VM and get practically the same result, but I feel like this is much more fun and will keep me occupied for a while. So my question is, can i even do this? Is there a guide on how you would accomplish something like this? Do i need 3rd party programs like Clover? I know this process will be painful, especially finding a way to run Mojave on my PC, but as I've said it seems like a fun project and would like to take a shot at it.

 

Thanks

Normally, you'd install Windows first, then Linux, which comes with Grub (a boot loader) that allows you to select which OS to boot. If you install a second Linux variant after that, Grub should allow you to switch between all three of them.

 

~edit: I just noticed you said Mojave, not Manjaro. No clue about dual booting with a Hackintosh. Hackintosh on its own is complicated enough, provided you even have supported hardware.

Yup.  To do hackintosh it’s often necessary to pre-plan every piece of hardware you buy around compatibility.  You’ve got to have exactly the right mobo and cpu and video card and any other component excluding ISB stuff and drives.  And even then there are other things to worry about.  Making hackintoshes go at all has gotten harder and harder.

Not a pro, not even very good.  I’m just old and have time currently.  Assuming I know a lot about computers can be a mistake.

 

Life is like a bowl of chocolates: there are all these little crinkly paper cups everywhere.

Well here's my Part List, would this work? Also could I use a VM to install a downloadable version of Mojave? Or do I have to use an actual Mac?
