Nearly all my computers run Debian 13 but my wife's Thinkpad is still running xubuntu 24.04.
I think the xubuntu installation on her laptop could do with a thorough clean out, it hasn't had a clean installation from scratch for many years. Currently the Firefox and Thunderbird snap installations seem to be causing problems. So I'm thinking that, if I'm going to do a clean install, I may as well install Debian 13. Her laptop is used nearly wholly for E-Mail and web browsing, nothing very techie at all. Am I likely to hit any big snags? Obviously I will back things up carefully (we have daily incremental backups of /home and /etc anyway). Do I need to do much more than make an image of /home and then install Debian 13 and then copy /home onto the new install? -- Chris Green ยท
