I use multiple machines too, and I have multiple Lazarus versions on a
single machine. When testing "unstable" or "new" releases, use the
--pcp= parameter to specify the new config directory, thus it will not
override your "stable and working" lazarus setup.

Plus, to test the "upgrade your configs to newer versions" feature of
Lazarus, I copy my ~/.lazarus directory to something like
~/.lazarus-test, then use --pcp=/home/graeme/.lazarus-test in the test
version, thus I can safely test the config upgrade feature too, and my
original ~/.lazarus configs are still untouched.
