I’m using Fedora Kinoite since a while, and I really like it. There’s just one thing I don’t understand, and have a hard time finding an answer to.
What happens in my home directory if I rebase to Silverblue? Like, Gnome and its apps comes with a lot of config files. If I then roll back to Kinoite, will all those files and folders still be there? How can I prevent this cluttering of files and folders that I don’t want to keep? I guess the easy answer would be to create a new user and then delete that home directory after rolling back, but I’m wondering if something else will happen. Thank you!
I installed kinoite on my laptop. Rebased to silverblue for a while to try out gnome, rebased to kinoite rawhide to check out kde plasma 6, then back to kinoite 39. I think a few minor settings had to be redone, but no real issues.
Especially KDE and GNOME somehow mess up each others icons, so no this is not true.
These issues have to be fixed by the projects, putting their dotfiles in
~/.config/kdeor~/.config/gnomerespecively.I didn’t have this experience? TIL
To be fair, all of that was in the course of less than a week, and I neither heavily use nor customize my personal laptop, so it’s likely that if there are issues, I didn’t encounter them.
Even so, I was quite impressed with how simple and seamless it was for me.
