Sure, but I prefer running bare metal also I then can move it around between various computers. Each one is used a regular system, just different purposes. So, running in a virtual machine doesn’t make much sense for me. I’ll use nothing but openbsd for a week, then I’ll swap over to arch to play some games, then I go into gentoo or something else for whatever other task I’m feeling.
It’s all good it’s definitely a good option, I’ve done it before. I also just get a level of amusement out of swapping sticks out. Gives me the same feeling as swapping out floppies for different software.

Gotcha! No worries, I just thought I’d mention it since some people don’t seem to even know that’s an option.

Oh someone who remembers floppies… Yeah those were the days, things were a lot easier back then.
