When I was 16, I tried Ubuntu for fun and it was neat, but I didn't really get it. For some reason I really want to try Linux again. This next month (or more) I am going to give it ago. Does anyone have any tips or resources? I am going with Linux Mint.

Thinking of installing a fresh copy of Linux? I highly recommend looking into btrfs.
I switched to btrfs for the built-in snapshots (ie. built-in backup system) alone, but btrfs does have more benefits over the standard ext4:
* Snapshots
* File deduplication
* Copy-on-write (when writing to disk, btrfs makes a copy then writes. Prevents data loss if the disk is corrupt or due to power loss)
* etc...
To avoid using your HDD or SSD, you can use RAM disk. On a #Debian system those 2 are ready to use:
/run/user/your-user-id (other users don't have access)
/dev/shm (this is a system-wide user writable RAM disk, all users have access)
Using zram is also a possibility, with a custom mount point.

Why Use EasyBCD When You Have GRUB (to dual boot or multi boot)
Amoghavarsha · Why Use EasyBCD When You Have GRUBWhen you set up a dual-boot system, one of the most common hurdles is managing the boot process — specifically, selecting which operating system to boot into.
This is where GRUB (Grand Unified Bootloader) steps in. If you’ve ever faced the hassle of relying on third-party tools like EasyBCD to change between operating systems, GRUB is the solution. In this article, we’ll explore how GRUB works, how it simplifies dual-booting, and some of its more advanced features that can enhance your experience.

For a daily driver, I suggest using Linux distros like Pop!_OS, Linux Mint, Fedora. What’s your current Linux distro and have you stopped distro hopping yet?
