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

    It’s totally unproblematic to use an existing encrypted partition even without a separate home partition. You just unlock your drive and delete everything except for home. Never encountered a single installer that couldn’t handle it.

      Might be wise to not accept the offer of the installer to partition the device in this case. That’s self–evident to anyone who lived through losing data, not so for beginners.
