I'm a newbie to Linux and currently using Ubuntu as my first distro. Recently, I tried Kubuntu and really loved it! I want to make the switch but need to know how to transfer all my browser data, including user profiles, from Ubuntu to Kubuntu. I've got three user accounts, along with some data in Materialgram. Any tips on the best way to do this?

You can install the full KDE desktop environment on Ubuntu using the command `apt install kde-full`. But keep in mind, this might lead to duplicate applications and a crowded desktop. If you really want to switch to Kubuntu, a clean install might be better for a smoother experience. Just make sure to back up your data first!
Yeah, I've read that mixing environments can cause some apps to duplicate, which isn’t very tidy. I'm looking for a cleaner suggestion too!
Check out the migration page in the wiki for some guidance! It has a bunch of handy tips for switching distros. Just remember to only use root access when absolutely necessary, avoid third-party repos unless you're sure, and always verify your ISO checksums after downloads. Good luck with the transition!
What about compatibility issues with some software after switching?
