I actually went ahead and did a fresh install of windows on my 1 SSD, and a fresh install of cinnamon on my other SSD. Really the biggest pain was not losing the screw when taking out the windows drive so Linux was solely installed on 1 drive.

You guys were right, cinnamon is way more my speed. A few quirks that I’m looking up ways to fix, like I have 3 monitors, but 1 is in portrait, and if I try to line it up, it drags down the main monitor, instead of the portrait monitor, and the mouse is misaligned to what I can see on the screen. Outside of that, I’ll probably be on Linux full time within a month or 2.
