Here's some more advice you probably won't like:
Multi-booting (any
computer, any OS) can be a pain, and it may be best to only attempt
that after you've learnt how a system works. Your safest approach to
learning a new system is to get a second hard drive, unplug your first
one, install onto a fresh drive in isolation, and learn how the system
works.
Multiboot is probably fragile. Or at least it is inclined toward chaos, in that we cannot
account for everything.
Fedora only tests and blocks releases against Windows and macOS existing first, and Fedora
second. As there's no manifestation of support beyond community support, is anything
supported? We more or less say things that we are willing to block release on are
supported, as in they have to work at the time a version is released. But there's lots
of buts. And one of those buts is, if you're setting up a system in a way we
aren't testing, we certainly aren't going to block release on such edge cases that
affect few users. Triboot is definitely one of those.
But case in point, lets say you have a completely clean system. Install Fedora copy A, and
then you want to do a dual boot of two Fedoras. Say, Fedora Workstation and KDE. Or Fedora
35 and 36. Dual boot Fedoras. Supported? Nope. We have no release criterion for that. Only
bugs that happen independent of that configuration would be blockers, not bugs that only
manifest as part of a dual boot Fedora installation.
