What is the "better / best " method to multi-boot different OSes natively WITHOUT VirtualBox(es) ?

I don't know if this is still true, but in ye olden times,
there was a distinction between "home PC disks" and "server
disks", where each class preferred a certain way of use to
achieve maximum lifetime:

	+--------------+----------------+--------------+
	| home PC disk | likes          | dislikes     |
	+--------------+----------------+--------------+
	| server disk  | dislikes       | likes        |
	+--------------+----------------+--------------+
	               | being switched | running      |
	               | on and off     | all the time |
	               +----------------+--------------+

Probably modern disks tend to be more like server disks,
even when being sold for and used in home PCs... :-)
