Question: I'm running Linux Mint right now. Is it possible to change distro to ... for example OpenSuse - without a clean install ?

For all intents and purposes different Linux distros are different operating systems, built with some number of overlapping components (including the Linux kernel after which they're named) so unfortunately no :/

Best of luck to you in whatever changes you decide you wanna pursue!
