I am running mint on my main pc. I want to create an external drive with a different Linux OS, Nobara, but want to know if there’s any chance it will affect my mint install. I normally remove all the drives in my system except the one I’m installing a new OS to, but that’s less feasible with my desktop as I have several NVME drives behind my GPU. Can I leave all my drives connected, plug in a seperate SSD through USB, boot into Nobara live and install on that drive without it affecting my mint install? Also, if I do that will it put the EFI file on the seperate SSD?

    I had to look up a guide for how to manually partition the drive, but it’s working! And it didn’t affect my other drives. Thanks.
