    Backup all your config files, reinstall OS, restore config files. Done. When I do it, the whole process takes a half hour tops. Let me know if you need help with that.

      I’ve reinstalled OSs before, there’s generally a lot more to it to get it running like before. For starters, half the config files don’t work properly on the new OS because the application versions are different, unless you’re just switching between Ubuntu flavors.

        I switched from Fedora to Arch, restored my config for i3wm, polybar, firefox, brave, picom, ranger, vifm, and a whole bunch other apps, no issues with version compatibilities. Which apps did you have problems with?
