Easiest way to change distros after having settled comfortably into one? (lemmy.one)

I just read an alarming number of comments on a distro-inquisitive post about how evil Canonical has been. I had no idea that Canonical wants to put ads on the desktop; I saw literally no sign of even the name anywhere at all, but reading this and seeing people say that Ubuntu shouldn't even be an option any more has got me concerned about Canonical going Microsoft-like in telemetry.

Unfortunately, I just installed Mint Cinnamon in the weeks prior on the computers of some very non-tech-savvy seniors before reading these. If all/any of this is true, how do I move people who are already settling their personal info into their current build of Linux Mint? Someone said that LMDE is behind in various ways, including NVIDIA graphics drivers, so that's not preferred, either. I'm interested in atomic/immutable Fedora Kinoite for myself, at least.

It depends.

If it's your own sister, then you learn to deal with her. If anything, adding a sister is fine as long as you have the resources. Removing a sister has legal proceedings upfront or after the fact, depending on your method.

Switching between romantic partners who happen to be sisters with each other can be risky! Lingering affection, jealousy, and inadequacy may all come into play here.

Personally, I dated one sister only to find that the younger one fancied me after well after we broke up. I found it difficult to separate the relationships and never pursued it. My brother-in-law dated my other sister-in-law first, and moved to his wife after a mutual understanding.

Finally, romantic entanglements with your own sister is discouraged. Not only is it illegal in many countries, having a child with your sister invites genetic disorders.

lol, fixed all my typos. For context to other readers, "distros" got auto corrected. I'm glad Lemmy lets us edit post titles, unlike a certain giant in the infinitopic forum space...

I saw you fixed it, but the typo brightened my morning.
