As a relatively new Linux user, I picked KDE Neon for my work PC as I figured it made sense to have direct access to up-to-date KDE software. So I’m kind of disconcerted at reading that Neon is considered by KDE to be at the end of its road.
Given that I just did a regular installation, without putting Home on a separate partition or anything like that, what’s the most efficient way of backing everything up and moving across to a distro that’s more actively maintained?
I’ve recently gone through a pile of ‘dead’ ThinkPads T410 at work, cleaning them up, harvesting usable parts and installing Kubuntu on them so people on the shop floor who just need access to online forms can use them.
I’ve been genuinely surprised at the utility they can still offer, despite being fairly low spec dual core i5 machines from 2010. Sure, no one’s gaming on them, but that’s not the point. They’re still useful.
