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?

I have played around with my friends steam deck, and messed around with it’s desktop mode and quite liked it. That’s why I initially was like “Hey maybe that might be a fun little experiment to slap it on a laptop.” without thinking about things like “it’s built around AMD drivers, Dirt Owl you goober”
Bazzite was another one I was thinking of! That or Pop_OS.
If anyone wants to suggest an OS I’m all ears!
Now is not the right time to try Pop_OS. They’ve just switched from GNOME to their own desktop environment, which is not really ready to go.
Source: I just switched away from Pop_OS to Fedora about a month ago.
Thanks for the heads up
Hehehe, hopefully it wasn’t too painful a lesson.
Bazzite is very close to SteamOS and the desktop environment is utilitarian but nice. It’s very solid.
I think if I was shopping for a new distro I’d take a close look at PikaOS and it seems like it might be up your alley. It appears that it’s very good for gaming and it’s part of the new Open Gaming Collective initiative so I’d expect that PikaOS is gonna stay on the cutting edge of Linux gaming since there’s other really good gaming distros behind the initiative such as Bazzite.
