I am wanting to upgrade my desktop gaming computer to Mint, but before I do. I have some questions.

First I have two extra hardrives that I mainly use for storage, my main question is can I just unplug them. Install Mint on the drive that currently holding Windows 10. Then replug the two drives and keep all the data store on them?

Or will I need to transfer all that data to an external hard-drive? Guess really want to know how to keep all my data store on those drives. . I heve thousands of songs, some movies and shows. Not to mention thousands of documents and other stuff.

Just want to know best way to keep all that?

Also it has a Nvidia game card. Will Mint recognize that? Will I still be able to play my Steam games on Mint?

Also I like to continue getting the free games on Epic, how do I go about playing them?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Switching to Linux Mint in 2025 - YouTube

We had a community challenge on Twitch in January for me to initiate my migration off Windows 10 to Linux.

The process began in February and I've been on Linux as my daily driver for a few weeks now. This video is an overview of that experience, my background and where things currently stand.

I'm very pleased with Linux Mint overall, despite some initial headaches and misgivings. Figured you might be interested in seeing this :)
