OS's for the Rock64
#2
This certainly gives the appearance of multi-booting, but it's technically not. It just will run/kill the different programs (in this case pretty much just the different desktop environments) needed to effectively be that flavor of Ubuntu (or Debian). An easier way (assuming you're booting from a graphics-equipped images) would be to just install the different DEs and use this button at login which gives a menu like this.

You wouldn't be able to run Fedora or NetBSD in this way, for example.
