Hello
I have loved using Linux Mint but having weird slowdowns on KDE and thought I'd like to try Cinnamon (especially as KDE isn't supported anymore).
I have searched but can't find a guide to upgrade from KDE to Cinnamon where I keep all my files and programs etc. Not sure if this is even possible.
I partitioned the drive myself and I have a system that dual boots Windows 10 and Linux Mint with a small shared space between them. Happy to show you all how it's partitioned, but I don't know how.
This was the guide I was thinking of using and would love to know if this is suitable.
Thank you for your help
PS - my laptop is a Thinkpad X250
