grab another disk and try dual booting and poking around.

Yeah, that is what I have decided to do. Not least just to test how compatible my hardware is. I may need a new GPU since my current one is nvidia, but as far as I understand it, it may still be able to run.

If its a recent GPU (rtx 30 series and up), it should be pretty usable today even under the newer display server (wayland).

Hope it works out for you.
