Question: I'm running Linux Mint right now. Is it possible to change distro to ... for example OpenSuse - without a clean install ?

What made you want to make the switch? I’m currently on Mint

I'm still in the fase of exploration. When using Windows, you just have 1 choice. I just want to discover what suits me best. So nothing against Linux Mint. It's great, but maybe OpenSuse is better for me? I don't know.

just in case you dont know, Distrosea lets you try various distros online which is handy just for getting a quick idea what the UI is like

for trying out different distros using the live USB method, Ventoy is a good option since it lets you have multiple ISO files on your USB drive at once, instead of having to reformat your USB each time
