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 '.'
  • source
  • parent
