Hey Carlo, Right I guess the first one is a package issue for unix type installs. On Windows this is fine as we can run different versions all the time but is a good point for Linux, etc.
Regarding .qgis2 and .qgis3 This is already isolated in QGIS 3 as the settings and plugins are now all stored in the appdata folder for the user along with a folder for each project. Use Settings -> User Profile to see what I mean. This means you can run QGIS 2 and 3 and they don't mess each others settings etc up. Regards, Nathan On Sun, Mar 4, 2018 at 12:41 AM, Carlo A.
