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?

    Yeah, since I’m between 2 distros, Live USB would save time. My touchpad was always a special case with Mint 21, so hardware check is my main concern. I don’t do anything else that word break either.

      Iirc, KDE/Plasma currently has the most complete touchpad integration. If multitouch and gestures are important to you, definitely make sure you test out a distro that offers a KDE/Plasma version.

        Ooooh, good to know. OpenSUSE TW was going to be my first stop, which is a KDE distro.
