Linux Distro Hopping
Every time I've used a Linux distro, I would always start from scratch or manually move the few ~/ files that would be in my home folder.
It takes a bit of confidence to up and move from one distro to the other without the fear of loosing all the configuration tweaking and apps that you've built on the current machine
Backup Current Machine
Copy App List
Install new Distro
- update before migration
Migrate
- copy over home folder and configs
