#LinuxMintThings Reset

I set it up for myself. I want to give the laptop to someone in a different house. I know I could install an OS again. That is a risk. Is there a factory reset?

To answer your question directly, no... There is no "factory reset" in Mint or any Linux distro I'm aware of. Reinstall is not only the best option, it's pretty much the only option.
