Okay. Humbly asking for some #Linux help here. When I installed Ubuntu on my machine a year ago, I did not know beans about Linux. Since then I've learned a bit, and when installing on other machines I have tried to make a partition so that I can change distros without losing files. But I don't remember doing anything like that on my main machine, where ALL my files are. Is there some way I can check to see if my drive is partitioned, and if not how can I change distros without losing data?
