Pretty much the same.

Word of warning. Your /home directory contains your documents, but it also contains configuration files. If the packages you're installing have different versions, you might discover that the config file for a different version doesn't work on the version that's installed. This isn't universally the case, some applications are smart about this, others less so. You can find many of them as "hidden" "dot" files.

You can find all of them like this: find /home -type f -name '.*'

Explanation:

• find - the find command
• /home - the place to start looking
• -type f - find files only
• -name '.*' - find things only starting with a '.'

if you wanna read up a bit more on that

What I do most of the time is have the /home directory on a different partition. If you really do need to reinstall, it is just a matter of selecting the existing home partition when reinstalling it (do not forget to uncheck the "format partition" checkbox 😅).

Reinstalls or running other distro's is a piece of cake this way.

My experience with amd / radeon has not been that great over the years. The open source amdgpu driver is basic at best. If you have a modern intel gfx chipset that is way easier...
