Moving from Ubuntu to KDE
by alex4buba from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5A9EC)
I have been using my current setup for some three months and it seems the mix is not that stable.
My original installation was Ubuntu 20.04/Gnome. On top of that, I loaded KDE Plasma 5.18.5. but every few days, starting the PC in the morning, the desktop UI reverts to Gnome, my icons are moved and the clock and weather widgets are gone and I need to spend some 20 minutes to put it all back.
So, I decided to move to KDE Neon Plasma as a new installation.
Any tips on how to go about it?
I will of course have a backup of all my files and directories, but can't see a way to save me reinstalling all my apps again.
I see no point in doing a full system backup, the new OS will not be happy if I restore the old system on top of it.
Any thoughts?
Cheers
Alex
