I couldn't find a straight answer anywhere, so I'm asking here. I simply want to go from my current OS, Linux Mint, to Ubuntu. I recently left Windows 10 for this, but I very much regret it. Ubuntu was probably what I was looking for. So, what can I do?

- Boot from Ubuntu Live USB.
- Leave everything default except for partitions.
- Chose "something else" in the partition section.
- Select root (/) and click "Change".
- By default it will be "Do not use this partition", change it to ext4, check "format" as well.
- Repeat 4-5 for /home but leave format unchecked. (This is to keep your data intact).
- Continue with the installation.
I'm not giving every step in detail because you're experienced installing Mint. If you're not worried about the existing data. You can do a clean install as well.
If you're in doubt, leave your comments and we'd able to help.
