From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

You know one of the easiest and safest ways of switching base os? Replace the ssd (or m.2).
They're ridiculously cheap now and, after copying the installer files to a usb stick, unplug your old ssd and plug in the new one. Then you can go back fully if it doesn't work out.
And you can get a cheap enclosure for the old m.2 or SSD to copy files you need off the old one.
