How should I approach multibooting Windows 11, Fedora 41, and openSUSE Tumbleweed?

Ubuntu (specifically Kubuntu) 24.04 was my first introduction to the Linux world. I stuck with it for a couple of months trying to learn the basic ins and outs of Linux and get comfortable with it, dualbooting alongside Windows 11 on my laptop. As time went on I realized how much I disliked "stable" distros; Ubuntu's packages are disgustingly outdated and that left a bitter taste of my first impression of Linux, particularly because my hardware is modern and I needed better support.
Because of that I distrohopped to Fedora 40 KDE, then stuck with it for almost a year, keeping my old Kubuntu partition just in case, and then deleting it later once I got comfortable. Wayland support is surprisingly great for integrated graphics laptops. Just out of curiosity now, I want to try out openSUSE Tumbleweed on this laptop, see if it provides the same or better experience for me. But I want to keep Fedora 41 on my system just in case. How exactly do I achieve this?
The following screenshot is of my partition layout currently *(I know I should have a /home partition by now considering I've already distrohopped and doing it again is exhausting without one, but I'm lazy)*. If you look to the left, you'll see there's a /zram0 virtual disk with linuxswap partition, probably added by Fedora's BTRFS filesystem when I installed it:
Fastfetch output just in case it's needed:
If there's any other information needed from me, ask and I'll answer in the replies (or edit this post if I can).
