We've argued over this before.

Your claim is wrong. This is not correct.

[1] If you use a different username it is 100% guaranteed safe. That's
all it takes.

[2] Even if you use the same username, so long as it is the only user
account on both/all the Linuxes, it will usually work fine. I have
done this, repeatedly. It works.

However, yes, option #1 is easier and safer.

You keep saying it *will* fail and *will* break. This is not the case.
There _can_ be problems but it does work. I know because I have done
it, myself, personally.
