>>109619833it doesn't run on real hardware
>>109619889it does run on god approved hardware just fine
>>109619426Yes, just back up your shit to an external drive.. usb stick.. etc.>I-i don't have an US-Okay, just zip all your shit with a password and upload it to ze cloud.You could also shrink your drive, create a partition and place all your important files in there. And install Ubuntu, but make sure not to overwrite that partition.>should i switch from cachyos to ubuntu?Why do you want to switch?
>>109620380but i dont know what i need to save, i have external ssd but i got stuff like ide's and shit and browser bookmarks etci dont like cachyos even tho nothing broke i feel like ubuntu should be more stable and i like how it looks better than this kde retarded shit
>>109620433>but i dont know what i need to save, i have external ssd but i got stuff like ide's and shit and browser bookmarks etcOkay no problem, can you tell me exactly what you use / want to restore and what you don't want to lose?>bookmarksYou can export your bookmarks in the settings and restore it on your new distro, which browser? You could also just create an account if it's based on firefox or google chrome.>i feel like ubuntu should be more stable and i like how it looks better than this kde retarded shitfair
>>109619426>should i switch from cachyos to ubuntuNo>if so how can i do it without losing my files and settings for editors/ides etcFormat system partition/subvolume but don't touch home partition/subvolume and just mount it inside new system.
>>109620486>>109620475yeah i can i do something like that? also can i have the backup system on ubuntu aswell? i made a mistake and didnt install the correct kernel loader so when i start up the computer i dont see the backups but they're happening every time i update, it's called btrfs i think and i guess its good to have. But yeah i dont think i have a home partition? i just let the installer wipe my ssd and install it, i do have /home/ and lsblk shows me 1 partition /boot/efi and another partition /tmp/grub-btrfs... with/var/tmp /var/log /var/cache /root /home /srv /im kinda noob with linux but im not retarded i just dont wanna trust a clanker with this>>should i switch from cachyos to ubuntu>Nowhy not? it's the most stable distro right? im just so scared to update this dogshit arch all the time and then something breaks
>>109620503>im kinda noob with linux but im not retarded
>>109620503Please just backup your useful stuff and do a clean, fresh install and wipe everything, to avoid conflicts.
>>109620548This guy is a troll. He comes in about the arch issue, he wastes time asking questions over and over instead of taking the advice of reinstalling. There is no point. His goal is to waste your time. He's wasting his own time as well as yours and mine, just don't respond to any of this
>>109619426All your configuration files are in home/.config folder. Make dummy .config folder structure on usb drive so you acn know where to place those dot files later (usb/.config/inkscape/palettes, for example).
>>109620566I'm not trolling>>109620548Yeah that's what i'll probably do, was just wondering if it was possible not to but i guess something will breakI just dont want to update my system every other day and i read that ubuntu is most stable and least updates except security automatic ones and fedora
>>109620566Thank you anon, you are right, he has all the help he needed. + LLMshave a great day
is it really safe to just reuse a home folder between different distros, that sounds evil
