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?

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)
