Screenshot of my partitions. Partition 1 if EFI, Partition 2 is Mint Boot sector I believe. Partition 3 is everything else.
I’m looking to give OpenSUSE TW and Fedora a try specifically. HD is encrypted from install, and I didn’t know to put /home on its own partition.
Plenty of storage space to play with. How should I approach hopping with the least amount of pain and cleanup when I finally figure out where I want to land?
I literally did something similar and wrote a long ass post yesterday : https://lemmy.world/post/37274818?scrollToComments=true
We have different goals, but one takeaway to try is to rip mint to shreds before installing over it, that way you might get the hang of installing something the way you might need to before needing to.
Also, try some things that aren’t what you are sure you want just to see if you actually don’t like them or to reinforce your confidence in what you want. If you’re spinning things up and tearing them down, you lose nothing but time, but can learn new things.
