Where are good, detailed instructions for doing a dual-boot install, Fedora + one other Linux distro, on a blank desktop?

It's easy to install one distro and have it be low maintenance to keep it working and up to date.

But it's far harder to sort out the booting of two distro that are sharing one /boot.

Neither Ubuntu nor Fedora will recognise the other. You will have to manually update grub ever time
you install a new kernel. It's possible to do but it's not automatic. Only Windows is recognised, that
you do not intend to run.

There is an alternate way to have both distros on your system.

You can install one distro on the disk and install the second distro as a Virtual Machine (VM).
I do this all the time to get access to a range of operating systems so that I can develop my own
software.

Without knowing why you wish to have both Fedora and Unbuntu it's hard to offer more advice.
