I have in my old laptop a dual boot setup of windows11 and zorin os. But I am interested in switching Zorin to OpenSUSE tumvleweed. How can I safely do it without losing the data?

      Restore the data from backup. You’ve got a backup of your important data, right? Right?

          In that case simply wipe/re-install and restore your backup. Ideally test that procedure in a VM or something before you wipe.

            And while doing that it’s best practice to create a partition only for /home. Easy to distrohop.
