I'm planning to switch over from Windows 10 to Linux Mint soon and wanted to get some advice. Here are my specs: I've got a 12th Gen Intel i7-12700 CPU, an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 GPU, MSI MAG B660M Mortar motherboard, 32GB of RAM, and a total of 3TB storage split between SSD and HDD. Is there anything I should be particularly concerned about or areas I should research more before making the move? If there's anything else I need to consider, please let me know!

You might want to start by testing Linux Mint using the LIVE-USB option. This allows you to play around with the system before fully installing it, and you can't mess up the Live-ISO image. It’s also a good idea to back up your Windows 10 partition just in case! Once you're more comfortable, you could consider dual booting. If you have more questions, just ask!
Thanks for the tip! I'm planning to start with Mint on an old laptop first—a factory reset machine. Should that work the same way?
