I used to be a mint fan, but then one day made the mistake of removing python figuring the system wouldn't let me remove python if it needed it. Turned out, it needed it and bricked my system.

The secret is that you can reinstall without destroying your old /home .
Anyway, I've screwed up many things and many ways. I've installed many distributions.
Have fun.

In the case I had, it wasn't possible. I later found out that Mint was getting cozier with Ubuntu, who was in turn getting cozier with Microsoft. That was enough for me to go back to my linux roots which were slax/suse.
