I am just winging as I go. Like pretending to know what I am doing.
Just go for it.
I am luckier than most to have spare test equipment.
So do however you see best.
You cam run a persistent live usb and all changes will be permanent.
Just be sure to run the updater 1st to pull in all the init choices in the boot menu.
On my install. All software installs are accepted across all init boot choices.

Motorcycle racing is rocket science.
