I’m using Fedora Kinoite since a while, and I really like it. There’s just one thing I don’t understand, and have a hard time finding an answer to.
What happens in my home directory if I rebase to Silverblue? Like, Gnome and its apps comes with a lot of config files. If I then roll back to Kinoite, will all those files and folders still be there? How can I prevent this cluttering of files and folders that I don’t want to keep? I guess the easy answer would be to create a new user and then delete that home directory after rolling back, but I’m wondering if something else will happen. Thank you!
I admit I typically hide the RPM Firefox and stick to the flatpak version. Aside from Nautilus though, in my experience most of the core GNOME user apps are provided via flatpak under Silverblue, including things like GNOME Calendar, Text Editor, Contacts, Totem, Evince, EoG, etc.
True; I’m mostly thinking about foundational pieces like GNOME Shell and settings, which could still wreak quite a bit of havoc. I don’t actually know how often those introduce such breaking changes, but I’d rather not risk it.
