I wanted to start a thread for Mac users who are thinking about upgrading to macOS 10.15 Catalina (once it's released), but still want/need to be able to run 32-bit apps or other software that may balk on Catalina.

So why not set up a VM with a working de-DRM environment so you don’t have to adapt to changes that the world throws at us? Also makes it much easier to set up on a new computer.

Installing macOS on a separate APFS volume.
Any thoughts and suggestions on different ways to run Catalina and High Sierra (or older macOS) on the same Mac, pros and cons, greatly appreciated.
