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

    The short answer is no. Each distro installs its own root filesystem with its own configuration files, versions of executables etc. and that’s unlikely go be compatible with another distro.

    But you can partition your system with a different home partition, so installing a new distro won’t touch your home files.
