If you have very, very good luck, than multiple installs of just one operating system, with contrary priorities do the job. >(assuming the real work isn't polishing your desktop). On Linux and BSD you won't find a desktop environment at all on my machines, just a plain window manager. However, I've got a PC with FreeBSD and Linux available, an iPad with iOS and another iPad with iPadOS and I can't get all my work done with four operating systems and multiple installs, setups. Not to forget that I've got several Windows VMs and I'm running several wine prefixes, but they anyway don't complete this to get all I need to get done. For example, sometimes I'm still drawing on paper, since even something that simple as a real brush, good paper and watercolour isn't perfectly emulated. As long as computers are used for something non-mathematically, or not for data mining and analysis of data, the best tools are still forging hammers, scissors, brushes, analog circuits etc., the digital domain is much overrated. An advantage is that you can get a recording studio on less than 1 m=C2=B2 for less of the costs of a "real" recording studio, but only if you lower your sights and it's more or less the same for all domains.
