  • That depends on a couple of things:

    If you have a separate partition for /home (your personal data) it is pretty easy since you can reinstall the system, leave /home untouched during installation and just configure it to be used as /home in your new setup.

    This does not work if you either do not have a separate /home partition or you encrypt your system via LUKS.

    It technically still is possible in the aforementioned cases but involves expert knowledge and probably a lot of manual steps which I’d say for you and me it probably is impractical.










  • I’m able to speak German (native speaker) and English (fluent).


    Also, as a German speaker, I’d like to correct the question in the post:

    Formal would be “Welche Sprachen sprechen Sie?”.

    More fitting for a casual environment (such as Lemmy) would be “Welche Sprachen sprecht Ihr?” though :)

    This is, because in German there are formal and informal ways of addressing people, both with their distinctive pronouns. Usually, when talking to people you don’t know personally, you’ll address them formally and then, when offered to, switch to the informal style once you know them. Online or among the younger generation it is much more common to just use the informal case though.
