Some advice please on an upgrade 13.2 > Leap..

English Install/Boot/Login
#1

Hi folks, I have not been seen around here for a long time. Mainly because 13.2 has been (nearly) flawless! However last week I had a strange and worrying problem, and my Desktop PC probably needs needs a tidy up, so I will soon do a fresh install of Leap… Can I keep my /home partition? Even though KDE is very different in LEAP to what I have with 13.2? Is BTRFS now generally regarded as “best”? I have always used ext4 before and have had no problems… I have a dual-boot with Windows 10, and although I vary rarely use it, I wish to have it available. Here is some info:

ps, I just noticed that my sig is out of date, I will correct that now!

that is the problem when the sigs are used for other things then they were designed for. Is now you sig out of date or is the the PS above out of date? lol!

You can keep you home but KDE settings do not come ovr from 4 to 5. They changed to locations of the configs. and the configs changed so you do have to redo your desktop layout

Thank you both.
