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.

They have an ISO on their website, after you enter what version you want.
If you want to keep any data, that is not possible to my knowledge. Back it up to another device and do a clean install.
I'm not concerned with keeping any data as the things I need are on separate a HD & SSD's. I just wondered if I might not be able to do a clean install of Bazzite over Nobara, I am really new to all this but learning from you guys & as I go.
Oh, that should be no worry. You can always do a clean install of one distro over another. Just make sure in the setup that when you select your data partitions on your other drives that you don't remake the partitions (at that would delete them). You'll also have to deal with differences in config files in your home directory since there is variance between Nobara and Bazzite. You can just grab the ISO and install normally, deleting the Nobara partitions.
You can always delete all data and install fresh, all installers support that.
When fiddling with the
/etc/fstabif you want to automatically mount stuff, make extra sure to add thenofailflag next to the line, otherwise if the drive is missing your OS wont boot.
