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?

Hey hey hey if I were to give bazzite a look, do you think the KDE or the GNOME version is more suitable for someone like me who is used to Mint?
it really depends what you prefer imo. personally i like kde more than gnome (mostly cause its more like windows by default) but a ton of apps use gnome’s rendering software for themeing. i also tend to prefer kde’s suite of apps (krita my beloved). i think cosmic from popos will be the next big thing but its not fully cooked yet
If you like the Steam Deck, KDE is the desktop environment it uses.
Coming from Mint - I would recommend KDE.
Technically Mint’s Desktop Environment, Cinnamon, was originally forked from GNOME 3, but altered to more conventional desktop paradigms.
GNOME 4X has its own unique desktop workflow vision it forces you into, and you can use shell extensions to make it behave like a traditional desktop, but they tend to break often during new releases.
KDE offers a conventional desktop like Cinnamon by default, with many settings to change if you want to fine-tune and personalize your workflow.
