<div>Hi,<br>
I agree with Aere, this is especially true if you use multiple
DE. I have not really had any problems using the same /home for
Lubuntu installs, as nothing drastically changes in Lubuntu...
though, the shift to LXQt may prove to negate this one day. So, I
think if you are using ONLY Lubuntu the upgrade should be just
fine with /home on a separate partition. I have never had any
issues with it... but I have only used Lubuntu since around
11.04. Previously I had only used Gnome, and XFCE.<br>
<br>
Gnome has had issues occasionally with this problem, though it
could be that I do some intense things to my computers and
sometimes hack around in things normal users do not need to ever.<div><div class="h5"><br>

Beware in doing this, if you use the same /home partition
for different Ubuntu variant system partitions. The
configuration for one Ubuntu variant, may be very wrong
for another Ubuntu variant. <br>
