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

THANK YOU ALL for your replies. I’ll do a clean install and made a backup of my files (was not difficult bc most stuff I have in the cloud). I’m moving indeed from Mint to OpenSuse Tumbleweed. I don’t know exactely why, but it seems to me an interesting thing to do. Still figuring out what distro fits me best.

Excellent choice. I did the same last year. I’m still on Tumbleweed.

Welcome to distro hopping! If at some point in the future you want to try another out but don’t want to start from scratch, there are ways to demo them to get a feel and see if it’s something you’d like to take the effort to wipe and install.
