Two. The first time I had nvidia related issues with nobara, so I removed nvidia drivers for reinstallation… And couldn’t figure out how to get them back. The second time I had used mint for long enough that I felt confident enough to nuke windows partition. I used gparted and nuked the whole disk instead.
Not counting the times I tried fedora and it killed itself with the first updates and then with multimedia codecs.
An SSD also throttles as it heats up, going as slow as an old HDD. I thought I broke mine when it took an hour to copy 100 gigs of files, but it just slowed down to keep under 60C. Idk how much swapping heats it up though.
