I'm facing constant issues with my system and have decided to do a reinstall while keeping /home intact, but the guide I find are either old guides or not the information I'm looking.
I'm currently using Kubuntu 20.4. I do not have a separate /home partition. I basically want to reinstall the system as if it was fresh, but still keep the data in /home, the configurations and apps. My question is, if I reinstall Kubuntu using a liveusb, and un-check the format partition, does it leave /home untouched, meaning, when I boot the OS will it have all the apps, system config. and data? Also wondering, when I reinstall, does it revert all items in [/] back to the original state, or reverts them to factory while keeping files I have installed as well?
I tried reinstalling kubuntu with format and moving old /home to the new one and faced numerous issues like KDE being unable to read the configurations etc. Maybe I did it wrong.
