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?

    personally i just go ahead and nuke everything since it’s easier lol, all my really important stuff is backed up to cryptomated cloud storage and everything else i can download again since it’s all free/pirated/“owned” software and videos

    i feel like some people actually do make scripts to back up all their config files and whatever, at a minimum you might want to copy your home folder to a USB drive and manually look through it to restore the files you want after installing the new distro
