Hi, Linux! I’ve been using Linux for many years now, but haven’t moved distros in awhile. I’m considering it now, and I really would like to migrate over all my customized system and software settings. So far, I am thinking of backing up everything that begins with a dot in my home folder, all of my systemd service files, and user/root crontabs. I know this is missing some things, but I’m not sure what. Any advice/warnings/examples people care to share?
I am sorry but I really don’t have any constructive advice to offer. I am more curious what distros you are considering. If you haven’t thought about using Arch, please give it serious consideration because it is nice and lightweight. Yes, the install process is terse but it leaves you with a good system that you really know what’s going on.
Sorry, couldn’t help…. This meme just popped in my mind!

Yep! That’s us Linux users in a nutshell!
No worries. I haven’ttried actual Arch since circa 2008 (not impressed then haha). A couple years ago I ran Manjaro, which was fine. I am definitely partial to Debian/Apt based systems though. Been using Mint for a long time, but wanting to switch to Siduction.
