I think you overestimate the time investment and underestimate the return, but you do you 😀

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.
