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...
Assuming you are using an apt/dpkg distro:
Save the list of packages on your reference system:
dpkg --get-selections > packages.lst
Then install packages based on that list on your target system, after updating the list of available packages:
dpkg --merge-avail <(apt-cache dumpavail)
dpkg --clear-selections
dpkg --set-selections < packages.lst
apt-get dselect-upgrade
Ubuntu with snaps disabled is my daily driver...
Fun fact: tesla is the only car brand just relying on cameras, no lidar, no nothing. Because elon thinks it is too expensive.
Phantom breaking is one of the most reported issues. And tesla does nothing.
This is what you get.
I agree, it isn't by all means comparable to the windows way of pushing ads in your face.
The only thing I really have issues with is the move to snaps. They are just too slow (even on i5 elitedesk it is noticeable. It should have been made optional in my opinion.
Thank you for being my introduction to the fediverse, lemm.ee!
Jumped ship from reddit and have never looked back.
Except for the google results which you cannot navigate because you have to have a reddit account. Nope.
Look for refurbished elitedesk g5, it runs debian magnificantly! I splurged a bit on the memory and ssd and have a quite nice desktop (developer).
The one concern I have is that banks are app only more and more, not being able to run banking apps (is that the case?) Is a no go for me.
Nightmare scenario. Glad to see you found a solution!
Aren't those rechargeable?
