I thought the same thing for a while and went through the process a couple of days ago! So every time you hop distros you have to wipe your /root directory. Usually if you don’t change it during the install your /home directory is mounted on the same device/partition your root is mounted on.
My solution was to install Gparted and create a new partition on the drive I want to install the new OS on (set to use any file format you want ((btrfs or ext4))) - I gave that partition around 50gb depending on the distro you might need more/less.
- A /efi/boot partition with 1000mib which has to be set to FAT32
And the rest of your drive can be your /home partiton set to any file format you want (nfts is recommended if you’re dual booting windows ((or btrfs/ext4 if that’s not the case))).
That would be the setup, depending on your setup you could just copy your entire home directory over into the new partition and then install OpenSuse.
Do note during the installation process you will have to set your partitioning yourself. Meaning the installer will ask you where you want it to install each component. That’s where you set all three partitons… At least I hope the YaSt installer does that.
And there you go, you will have to reinstall applications that aren’t in sandboxes like flatpaks. But your configuration for these applications should apply right away saving you some time.





I do not know which headset you’re using, but try this!

You can just download the APK on your headset and use the program inside the tar gz.
