A friend of mine mentioned that a much more efficient way to distro hop is to do it in a VM rather than boot an ISO every time. I’ve only ever used WINE and am unsure how to go about doing this.

What’s the best way to try distro hopping and what are some easy-ish distros to try out temporarily?

I’ve been using Linux Mint Debian edition for a while now and am happy with it on my main machine, but want to try out some others on my spare just to make sure there’s not another one that I like more.

    Virt Manager does have snapshots as well.

    As for the host system directory mounts, you got me there. There seems to be an option in the Virt Manager GUI, but it is kind of difficult to get working.

    I’ve never used Virtualbox on Linux - it was what I used back when I was on Windows.
