Maybe one day you just buy another SSD and give it a try on there... Thats how I did it 2 years ago and I couldnt have guessed how much it would eventually, over time, become worth it to me.

I initially installed PopOS but it worked so well that after 2 weeks I though to myself, "well this is boring, I installed it and now what?" and proceeded to try Arch (unsuccesfully at the time).
