If it breaks more is because you are free to do more with it. Just try dual booting or even just via a live “install”. There’s nothing to lose and a lot to gain.

I’ve been distro.hopping for years. I am now setting up my new home server and because I plan to also use it as a daily driver, Linux Mint is my choice. It just works. I like KDE, but it gives me too much choice, so Cinnamon it is.

I don’t want to stray too far from the mainstream stuff.

Hmmm… Color me intrigued. I never thought of a Debian + KDE combination… And I’m partial to Debian systems.

Already packed. I am also having trouble copying files due to issues with the file name (6 characters, nothing fancy). And it makes a ticking sound once in a while. I’m done with it.

yeah, that’s why I’m here, dude.
