Manjaro Linux Team Goes on Strike, Threatens to Fork the Project - Lemmy NZ

Switching distros was not on my agenda. 🙃

Me neither. The more I dwell on it, the grumpier I’m getting. Distro hopping is a young man’s sport. I’ve got work to do.

Thankfully, I learned the hard way a long time ago that my files are almost entirely on a secondary drive and my home folders are all simply symlinks to folders there, so I won’t lose any data since that drive won’t be wiped. But it’s just such a pain in the butt to set up everything the way I like it.

Psst, you can keep your /home. Copy /home/username to a new partition before the install (just the username folder in the root of the new partition), do the install, and point it at your new partition as /home. Bam, it’s your new home.

Or you could copy out/copy back.

You’ll need to reinstall your apps, but you won’t need to redo all your settings for them.
