Thanks this helps a lot! Especially about it being pretty tough to totally wreck the computer. I just keep worrying that I’ll click the wrong button and it’ll be unusable. The fact that I can just boot from a usb is comforting. And yeah, I have my main computer that I’d be able to use if needed. Did you use the instructions for ubuntu from the proton website to get proton vpn on mint?
I’m a little lost on why I would need 5 usbs for 4 distros? Thanks for the tip about Zorin! I saw it on some of the beginner friendly lists, but it didn’t particularly stand out. I’ll go take another look at it though if it tries to make things terminal free!
