As the title says, I also added a common storage partition that is independent of both for steam games and such... how much incompatible both distros programs are?

I know is a not that easy to install a .deb in suse ad such.

How does something like that happen?
The configs are in each distro's boot partition or root directory.
In ESP, the EFI files are going to be in their own directories. An exception to this may be dualbooting distros built on same base. For example Linux Mint and Ubuntu. They both place the EFI file in /ubuntu/grubx64.efi inside the ESP. This means, they just overwrite them. This may be viewed as a positive though, as no matter which distro updated GRUB as last, it will always be up-to-date.

Anyway, I dualboot Manjaro with Linux Mint. I just set Manjaro's GRUB as default in UEFI and had no problems. The only annoyance is that as you mentioned, after updating Linux Mint's kernel I need to boot into Manjaro to update GRUB.
