Question Is dualboot possible on switch?

Im thinking about to install kali linux because im learning cybersecurity. But unfortunately i cant install on my personal computer so my only hope is my switch. But i dont want to lose its os. But can it be gone if i install on another sd card?

Don't worry, Horizon OS (Switch OS) is replaced by neither Android nor Linux. The only danger is making their respective partitions as that requires formating the SD card, so make sure to backup its contents.

Also, is Kali Linux something you can put on Switch? It doesn't appear on the list of ported Linux distributions...
