More concrete information: it is perfectly possible to install both F2 and F3 
side by side -wherever the necessary packages are available. All Ubuntus since 
16.04, and Debian 8-9. Debian 10 doesn't support F2 anymore. 

I'll update the F2 wiki ASAP, although I don't consider supporting F2 a 
priority.
