You can "dual boot" but this is generally a pain, unless one of the OS is for very specific purposes (for instance, keeping Windows for games, since when you play you aren't doing anything else). Now, given the available disk and RAM, it is much more practical to set your mind on a main OS, on which you do most things, and to use a "Virtual machine" to run OS-specific stuff, and that you boot occasionally as an application inside your main OS. The performance of these VMs is very close to what you would get by booting them directly on the hardware (in some cases it is even better).
