Hey, I have a Poco X3 NFC with UT on it, but I don't want to lose that installation, while also having PMOS on it. It does have a SD Card, can I somehow install PMOS on it and choose which OS to boot into? Will everything work fine if I do it this way?

Theoratically you can install the OS to the sdcard and "live boot" the kernel with (afaik) pmbootstrap flasher boot. But you'll always need a PC to boot it and can't use a pre-built image.
