Hello,
I have used Kubuntu on my PC for some time, have serveral user accounts with docs and apps in their home folders, have installed some apps and confugured them, etc.
Now I kind of want to switch to Ubuntu, and I am worried if I do everything correctly. What is suggested course of action, in order to preserve the user accounts and installed apps? I don't want to leave some mess behind, too - whatever is no longer needed (because Kubuntu is not run), that should be uninstalled/deleted. Perhapse there is some contradiction between my willingness to preserve the state and delete the unneeded, and I am doomed to either reinstall the apps I want to keep, or manually weed the unneeded apps, if I keep all of them in the installation process. But maybe there is some wonderful migration tool that would help in this process?
