Hello hello!

I’m new to Linux and, after bingeing a fair share of videos, I’ve decided to kick things off with Linux Mint (coming from Windows 11).

Since I work 12-13 hours a day on my only laptop, I’d like to start with a dual-boot setup before fully committing to the switch.

Here’s the catch: I only have 90 GB of free space on my hard drive. Would it be unreasonable to allocate around 40 GB to Mint? I don’t need much in terms of software - my daily workflow is basically spreadsheets, Discord, and Zoom.

Appreciate any advice!

    You can actually install it from one USB drive to another and have a “real” install that boots when you put the drive in. I did that for a year at an old job that wouldn’t give me admin on my box 😆
