   Simple answer: NO.   
      
   In text mode, very possibly yes. In a complex GUI such as Plasma, Gnome,   
   XFCE, there are a myriad configurations, and it is very possible that   
   some setting in 15.4 would conflict with another one in 15.3 and result   
   in corruption somewhere, crashes, or who knows what.   
      
      
   You can share the partition IF you use different user names, so that the   
   home folders are different.   
      
   You can share data files of applications. Mostly. Some application might   
   have changes there, so work with caution. So you could symlink the   
   Documents folder, for example.
