An SSD also throttles as it heats up, going as slow as an old HDD. I thought I broke mine when it took an hour to copy 100 gigs of files, but it just slowed down to keep under 60C. Idk how much swapping heats it up though.

Two. The first time I had nvidia related issues with nobara, so I removed nvidia drivers for reinstallation... And couldn't figure out how to get them back. The second time I had used mint for long enough that I felt confident enough to nuke windows partition. I used gparted and nuked the whole disk instead.
Not counting the times I tried fedora and it killed itself with the first updates and then with multimedia codecs.
Nice try, mister ransonware attacker hacker!
I would have no chance passing this exam

The os itself doesn't require a whole lot of learning, if you stick to something user friendly like mint cinnamon. Key differences are how you install programs and drivers. File structure is very different. After two years of daily driving mint cinnamon, I find it more difficult to do basic stuff in windows, especially 11. If it feels intimidating, the recommended approach is to try it out on another pc, dualboot, or use it in a virtual machine.
I had to copy everything to an external drive and change HDD to ext4, then copied back. Nothing corrupted since.
It's fine. I used to dual boot the two too, and I use a bigger secondary HDD. It's linux that has the issue if the drive is in NTFS format, I used to get files and folders corrupted all the time and only windows could access and delete them. Not a problem with ext4, but windows can't read that. Dual booting is not a great long-term plan because it's updates are known to delete grub, or that's what I've learned from other lemmy users.
It's also a common saying in Finland

if it blows hot air, that means it successfully transfers heat off the cpu, so the blame is not entirely on the thermal paste (you should probably still change it though). clean the sink and the air intakes, laptops insides easily get tightly packed with dust.
I never use seatbelt and I still haven't been in a car accident
