Switching from Nobara 41 to Bazzite, wanna keep home folder and distroboxs - anything I should know?
I've backed up my KDE configuration with Konsave already,, mainly I'm concerned with transferring distroboxes to a new install and keeping my /home folder on the new install. Last time I tried doing so (moving from kubuntu to Nobara,) the previous home folder got moved to a subdirectory called
