basically you can partition your drive and install different OSes to each partition

 

or run a virtual machine

You can do them on the same drive

please note OSX is not a simple procedure, you dont just randomly install it on any pc and it work straight away

you can install linux, remix os, windows etc and just install it to different partitions

It's possible, but last I heard about it it is a real hassle. Search for Hackintosh that should give you some ideas.

Like I said, it's possible. Installing OS X on a PC is quite difficult and you have to carefully select your components since Apple only supports some of them.

It's more like Apple doesn't really sell their OS, just machines with it, so they don't really have to bother with supporting anything that doesn't go in one of their machines. Making a hackintosh is basically ripping the OS off an Apple computer and putting it on another device which has hardware that's similar enough that it should work. Sometimes it doesn't which is why you have to be careful to select parts that are known to work. There's a video on the LTT channel about making one here but it's a bit old and as you can see the process is... ugh.
