I’m guessing yes, that you have to make a back up of all your files etc. But I figured I’d ask anyway, just in case.
To anyone who’s done it, how do you prepare when you change distro?

This came up with another poster not that long ago, so I’m going to re-post my long responses to them as to why I advocate hard for Bazzite, even for desktops. Just making sure to use the desktop image so it doesn’t boot into Game Mode like a console/Steam Deck.
A very good read.
All my complaints about Bazzite are just griping from someone with change fatigue who is very rigid in their thinking. I think it’s a really great distro and the install process is fantastic - it really sets the bar for other distros. I think most people would love it and I’d like to be able to love it too but I’m just too curmudgeonly and I know it.
But enough about my character flaws. For everyone else, they should absolutely give it a try if they are curious. Also all my gripes are minor compared to my complaints about Microslop. You can’t go wrong with Bazzite.
What distro are you using if I may ask ? Why/When did you decide on it ? Currently on Fedora with KDE (and I think happy) after using Mint for about a month.
I’m either a terrible person to ask about distros or I’m perfect to ask as a very average PC user, so take that as you will.
I’m running mint on my laptop and I’ve got a handheld running Bazzite.
Mint was the default so I landed on that and it was good enough for me so I’m sticking with it because I can’t be bothered to hop but I probably would have started at Zorin or PikaOS if I knew what I do now. For the handheld, Bazzite is the no-brainer option because of how it’s perfectly suited for compatibility and ease of use. Both distros I started with when I switched to Linux and the pain of switching hasn’t been outweighed by the pain of dealing with the small annoyances of staying yet so I doubt I’ll be hopping to anything else for the time being.
I’m the most basic Linux user ever.
Did you find KDE very different from Mints Gnome?
I used Cinnamon when I was on Mint. I did like cinnamon it was easy to customize which was nice.
Funny enough I dont think I ever used original gnome in a live environment. I considered using Fedora with gnome but my friend recommended KDE (And there are a fuckton of customization options for KDE which is a plus in my book)
